• Easy for everyone in the library to follow the orders step by step
• 5 persons can do the work that 10 persons did before
• Competence development of technical skills in the work force
• Viola is connected to the invoice-system
• Satisfied customers (libraries and patrons)
2014-07-04 / Eva Dahlbäck, Stockholm University Library

The development
• Developers in the library working closely together with
librarians that know the functionality
• The librarians have specified the functions needed and
the technicians built a system that meets these needs
• Work with “user stories” has been key in the collaborative
work
• The system has been tailor-made based on workflow
requirements and with the end user in mind
2014-07-04 / Eva Dahlbäck, Stockholm University Library

User stories – the start of a conversation
As a fetcher of books, I want to be able to print out slips to
put in the books that i have found in the shelves
• Not a requirement as much as a starting point for
conversation
• Easy to write and prioritize
• Easier to follow progress

Technology
• Built on top of ASP.NET MVC
• The database is SQL server,
– Replaceable thanks to the ORM PetaPoco

The document discusses Stockholm University Library's transition to a digital workflow for processing internal book requests and interlibrary loans using a custom-built system called Viola. Key points: - Viola allows the entire process from request to delivery to be handled digitally through a single workflow. - This has streamlined the process, reducing the time it takes to fulfill requests and allowing fewer staff to process the same volume of work. - Users provide feedback through "user stories" to guide developers in tailoring Viola to meet workflow needs. - The system was built using open source technologies like ASP.NET, SQL Server, and Xamarin to allow for customization and future open sourcing of the

An effective Webquest has a clear structure including a task, process, resources, evaluation, and conclusion. Several free online tools like QuestGarden, Zunal WebQuest Maker, and Teachnology Web Quest Maker can help teachers design, publish, and share Webquests with options for customization and language support.

The Seeley G. Mudd Library and Kutler Center at Harvard-Westlake Upper School underwent renovations in 2011-2012 to accommodate different work styles, provide ubiquitous electrical access, and create flexible furniture groupings. The renovations increased access through additional doors, improved traffic flow by changing floorplans and walls, and created a brighter, more open and airy feel. Challenges included balancing flexibility and safety with floor outlets, addressing lighting fixes, and preventing increased noise and book loss due to additional doors.

Ksenija Mincic Obradovic

This document summarizes the University of Auckland Library's experience with e-books over 10 years. It discusses how the library's e-book collection and spending has grown significantly since 2004. It also describes the various methods used to provide access to e-books and the importance of quality metadata records. While e-book usage has increased, some users still prefer print. The library continues to work on improving access and promoting e-books through initiatives like information literacy programs. Areas for ongoing improvement include standardization across platforms and more collaboration between libraries and vendors.

Tablets in the Workplace - Jan Magnusson

Incisive_Events

This document summarizes a project testing the use of surf tablets by library staff at three libraries in Sweden. Librarians at the participating libraries used surf tablets to provide mobile reference help to patrons. They found that patrons enjoyed the convenience of getting help where they were sitting. However, the tablets were not particularly useful for information literacy instruction, where it is better to demonstrate resources directly on student computers. Overall, the tablets worked best as mobile information desks rather than educational tools. Future uses of mobile learning may require rethinking how learning environments and instruction are defined.

Islandora Webinar: Highlighting CUHK Chinese Digital Collections

Erin Tripp

The webinar will feature a presentation and Q&A session with Jeff Liu, Digital Services Librarian and Louisa Lam, Head, Research Support and Digital Initiatives at the CUHK Library. The CUHK Library has curated a collection of over five million digital objects in the past 20 years. It features Chinese literature, culture, arts, politics, society and religion. Until recently, the collection was stored in a broad range of different systems, complicating the discovery of these precious digital assets. In 2015, librarians at CUHK embarked on a project to find a permanent, single platform for digital content. Objectives of the project included enhanced discoverability, multi-language support (Chinese, Japanese & Korean) and custom development capability to modify display and viewing features that would showcase Chinese literature in its true form. Islandora met all the functional requirements and more, including support for digital humanities projects and access to a user-driven open source software community. The CUHK library was also attracted to the vendor services and support available through discoverygarden. We provided advice, support and custom development assistance; contributing to the launch of the digital repository every step of the way. The repository (http://repository.lib.cuhk.edu.hk) officially launched in February 2016, making the CUHK Library digital initiatives pioneers in Hong Kong.

{Tech}changes: the technological state of Greek Libraries.

Giannis Tsakonas

The document summarizes technological changes in Greek libraries over recent years. While Greek libraries were early adopters of technological changes, penetration of eBooks and sophisticated business models remains limited. However, libraries have increasingly embraced open access, open source, and open data initiatives. Projects like Kallipos provide enhanced academic textbooks online. Funding from the EU and Greece has supported centralized technological solutions and opportunities for public/private cooperation to make technology more affordable and transform literacy programs.
