Stratos Filalithis gave a presentation on building a collaborative culture at the University of Edinburgh. He discussed implementing a new central university website and content management system called EdWeb to encourage collaboration. Some strategies for developing collaboration included engaging users through clear communication channels, providing training and support to empower people, and changing the culture to embed user-centered processes. The goal is to break down silos between departments and facilitate contribution across the university.

Sanderson CNI 2020 Keynote - Cultural Heritage Research Data Ecosystem

Robert Sanderson

There have been, and continue to be, many initiatives to address the social, technological, financial and policy-based challenges that throw up roadblocks towards achieving this vision. However, it is hard to tell whether we are making progress, or whether we are eternally waiting for the hyperloop that will never come. If we are to ever be able to answer research questions that require a broad, international corpus of cultural data, then we need an ecosystem that can be characterized with 5 “C”s: Collaborative, Consistent, Connected, Correct and Contextualized. Each of these has implications for the sustainability, innovation, usability, timeliness and ethical considerations that must be addressed in a coherent and holistic manner. As with autonomous vehicles, technology (and perhaps even machine “intelligence”) is a necessary but insufficient component. In this presentation, I will frame and motivate this grand challenge and propose where we can build connections between the academy, the cultural heritage sector, and industry. The discussion will explore the issues, and highlight some of the successful endeavors and more approachable opportunities where, together, progress can be made.

Rethinking Libraries

CILIP

Julian Diamond's (Associate Director, Information Management, Arup) presentation at the CILIP 2017 Conference in Manchester #CILIPConf17 Libraries are undergoing a renaissance, in terms of the social infrastructure they provide and the services they offer. Increasingly functioning as a catalyst for community cohesion and wellbeing, libraries are evolving into hubs for education, health, entertainment and work. The key function of libraries, to support lifelong learning and building stronger communities, aligns closely with Arup’s own drive to deliver a social purpose in its building, planning and consulting work. This workshop will examine key trends relevant to the future of libraries and analyse their implications on design, user experience and operation of libraries.

CONUL Conference

Librarians are well-positioned to take on leadership roles and partner with other university departments due to their expertise in areas like data management, curation, and ensuring inclusive and ethical use of information. As technologies like artificial intelligence advance, librarians can help address privacy concerns and make sure AI systems are optimized for both human and machine use of information. Their skills in organizing and providing access to information also make libraries important partners in developing the data capabilities needed for institutions to successfully implement AI.

Top 5 Challenges of Social Business Adaptation & How to Resolve Them Effectively

panagenda

Whether you’re deploying IBM Connections at work, or any other ESN for that matter, you know, after the initial excitement of different change and transformation initiatives put in place, there’s a moment, usually, after the first year, where you’re bound to face a number of different challenges that would come to question all of the hard work, effort and energy you’ve put together when embarking on the so-called Social Business & Digital Transformation journey. Have you ever thought though those challenges can, actually, become incredible business opportunities for you to take your organisation’s adaptation and change initiatives into the next level? In this particular session we‘ll cover what have been some of the most poignant, destructive challenges transformation & change practitioners have been facing over the years, while deploying IBM Connections, and for each and every single one we will be providing tons of practical advice, hands-on experience and plenty of know-how to. A presentation by Luis Suarez.

How to attract more users – The evolving story of the Eurapco IBM Connections...

LetsConnect

Three years ago we established a knowledge sharing and networking platform for a European insurance alliance with IBM Connections, some add-ons and customizations were made. Learn about the learning curve, the feedback of the users and how it was possible to quadruple the user base in this timeframe. The customer will share their user-survey result, the positive feedback and the topics/areas we need to improve. This will be the base for the re-launch of the platform planned for next year with IBM Connections 6. The main goal forward is to increase the usage of the current members by simplifying the user experience

From paper to digits. Challenges and opportunities of Digital reserach

LIBIS

Technology is everywhere. In most, if not all research projects, hard- and software are used aplenty. Moreover, when you look at the research data lifecycle, it is hard to think of data collection, analysis, preservation, and reuse in terms of paper. Policy makers and funders alike are encouraging projects with an IT component. As a result, new tools, databases and data models sprout from every research project; the original goal of sharing and collaboration surpassed by the conviction that there is a need for this particular software or that custom developed database. This is not entirely a bad thing, since it also drives innovation and brings new perspectives to the use of digital components in research. The problem lies more in the sustainability of the developed tools and databases after the project s' lifetime. This presentation focuses on the challenges of research infrastructure sustainability and the important role that national and pan-European research infrastructures such as DARIAH can play in providing researchers with best practices and support in building and maintaining access to innovative tools, databases and datasets.
