Dr Konstantina Martzoukou's (Senior Lecturer and PG Programme Leader for Information Management, Robert Gordon University)
This paper presents the research findings of ‘Lost in Information? Syrian new Scots Information Literacy Way-finding practices’ research project, which was funded by the Information Literacy Group (ILG) of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals. The research was conducted via semi-structured interviews with Local Council Leads for Syrian Integration and focus groups with Syrian refugees in the North of Scotland.The research explored Syrian refugees’ ‘ways of knowing’ for addressing critical social inclusion needs (e.g. housing, welfare, education, benefits, employability, rights and entitlements), the barriers (e.g. English language, socio-cultural differences) and enablers (local community support, new technologies and media) they encounter and the characteristics of current information services available. The paper makes a set of recommendations on how to best aid Syrian newcomers in their resettlement, adaptation and social inclusion by supporting them with added-value local information services
Presented at IFLA's WLIC in Québec City, Canada (IT Section) - August 2008.
Presents an overview of the ongoing journey of East Renfrewshire Library and Information Service
(ERLIS) as it attempts to embrace the concepts of Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 within the constraints of a
limited financial budget. It also presents a step by step guide for other library services interested in
joining the social networking community; highlighting challenges and offering solutions based on the
experiences of ERLIS.
Public libraries as the learning hub in the community. Strategy and practical...Jan Holmquist
Public libraries are about providing access to information for all citizens. They are also about giving the community members the best possibilities to transform that information into knowledge.
When we look at libraries not only as a place for cultural inspiration or a house full of information -but also as the learning hub in the community, we focus on different ways of connecting with the community and new ways of delivering library services. We also have a new approach to what skillset librarians need to make this happen.
In his talk, Jan will give practical examples from his work as a library director in Denmark and New Zealand. Examples of working with learning as a strategy and how that impacted the library services delivered and how libraries reached out to the community.
Keynote for Internet Librarian International 2016.
In a world where we compete about knowledge jobs libraries are more important than ever. They are the one place where everyone's learning is actively supported. This is important to acknowledge when designing library strategy.
New Horizons: How Libraries Create Smart Communities - For INFORUM 2018 in Pr...Jan Holmquist
Libraries are more important than ever. This is not the headline you see in news media these days. If there happens to be a library-related headline it often says that libraries are obsolete because of the technological development.
In a world where there is more information than ever before and where modern societies compete to get the attractive knowledge jobs librarians and libraries guide people towards digital literacy thereby empowering them as digital citizens and lifelong learners. Therefore libraries are strategically important for modern knowledge societies.
Aligning to the conference theme Different Perspectives, New Horizons Jan shares how a library strategy with a focus on learning lead to opening a library FabLab and what implications it has for supporting learning about new technology and creating new knowledge communities.
A library FabLab must have the focus on digital literacy, searching and evaluating information and actively supporting the creation of new knowledge just like the library does with more traditional media.
Jan also shares insights on European library advocacy from Public Libraries 2020 and the Library Advocacy Lab on how libraries change lives and he reveals the secret on how Public Libraries 2020 will be a driving force in creating a global knowledge school for forward-thinking librarians and why that is important.
