Kate Noble – Education Officer and Ina Pruegel – Digital Engagement Specialist (both University of Cambridge Museums)
The digital maker residency enabled the University Of Cambridge Museums to rethink how they approached the use of technology in their museums and to re-position audiences and staff from passive consumers to active creators.
This session will explore how this project provided opportunities to explore and test new ideas and workshops in collaboration with audiences and members of local Makerspaces, and to reflect on the role of technology in the museum of the future.

Daria Cybulska – Head of Programmes (Wikimedia UK)
The Wikimedian in Residence programme in the UK is about five years old. In 2017 they conducted research into the kinds of impact that can be expected from setting up residencies and how to maximise that impact over the short and long term.
This session will explore how to collaborate with open knowledge via Wikimedia projects, and what sort of impact is possible after running a Wikimedian in Residence project. The dimensions of impact are increased reach of collections, change of internal and external perspective on the museum, and scalability across the cultural sector.
Kati Price – Head of Digital Media and Publishing (Victoria and Albert Museum)
How do museums and other cultural organizations identify exactly how big their digital teams should be, how they should be structured, and where they should sit in the organization? And how do they define and measure digital success?
In this session we examine how GLAM organizations are re-configuring their digital teams to define and drive success, and identify the patterns that are beginning to emerge.

Jon Pratty – PhD Candidate (University of Sussex)
This session will surface academic research about ethics and political philosophy that will begin to make sense of current debates about whether GLAMs should have websites, social media sites, or both.
It will explore historic examples of how innovative platforms quickly become obsolete, indicating how we could possibly go forwards making better digital strategies within GLAMs that will be better value for money, and which will have longer lasting legacy value.

Rosie Cardiff – Senior Digital Producer (Serpentine Galleries)
The session will look at in-house collaboration and how digital skills can be embedded throughout the organisation to bring about real change. It will also examine the challenges to this in terms of resistance to change, fear of digital technology, breaking down internal barriers and shifting job roles.

Enabling digital scholarship through staff training: the British Library's ex...Mia
A talk at the DH Lab at the University of Exeter in February 2019.
The British Library's Digital Scholarship Training Programme provides colleagues with the space and support to
develop the necessary skills and knowledge to support emerging areas of modern scholarship. Their familiarity with the foundational concepts, methods and tools of digital scholarship in turn helps promote a spirit of innovation and creativity, encouraging digital initiatives within the Library and with external partners. Finally, the programme of events helps nourish and sustain an internal digital scholarship community of interest/practice.
In this talk, Digital Curator Dr. Mia Ridge will share some of the lessons the team have learnt about delivering Digital Scholarship training in a library environment since it began several years ago, and some of the challenges they still face.
How can the Open Source community better support educators to create, use and share OER? Since march 2017, our project edulabs.de organized meetups with teachers and volunteers from civic tech initiatives. In the workshop I want to discuss experiences and the further potential of community-based event formats to foster a culture of sharing.

Building a Research Commons in a University Library: Connecting Scholars wi...Monday11
Emory’s Robert W. Woodruff Library opened the Research Commons in the fall of 2011. The 5,000 square foot space is dedicated to graduate students and faculty who are engaged in collaborative scholarly work which takes advantage of digital technology. This presentation will focus on the mission, the space, and the way the Research Commons takes advantage of its place in the library.
From its location inside the library, the Research Commons is neutral space where interdisciplinary groups of scholars can work collaboratively. Almost all of the furniture is mobile, enabling users to configure the work areas to suit their needs. This open design also allows scholars to see what others are working on and to be inspired by what they see. These unplanned and serendipitous encounters, along with more formal events, allow the Research Commons to establish and nurture an interdisciplinary community of scholars interested in digital scholarship. Housed within the Research Commons is the Mellon Funded Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC). The mission of DiSC is to work with scholars whether they require instruction on simple tools or need help planning and executing larger projects.

Independent endowed foundation
1913 by AC, Scots American Philanthropist
Remit – to enhance the wellbeing of the people in UK and ROI
1913-2004 Grants – range causes – incl libraries - in first 50 years more than a third of the Trust’s income was spent on library services
2004 - Operating trust – proactive vs reactive; working at a more strategic level to seek to change public opinion, policy and practice; fund our own research and look for partnerships.
Trust has long history of working with libraries and
Aside from the legacy of library buildings (660)
The Trust was also involved in
creating an effective rural service,
creating the national infrastructure which allowed for the development of inter-library loans, and
addressing the needs of people who found it hard to access the service (seafarers, the blind)
supporting the first professional training for librarians.
As a result of all this work, by 1949 the trustees felt that their work had been done
and it was now a matter for local authorities to take forward the provision of this service.
Due to a combination of factors including
Prevalence new technology
Changing customer needs&demands
public spending cuts
threats of closures and closure of libraries,
Emergence of library campaign groups
the Trust sought to re-engage with libraries from 2011.
To ensure we did so in a meaningful and helpful way, the Trust conducted research to inform its thinking
In 2012 the Trust commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct research
1)reviewing the existing evidence and the policy and practice environment, and
2) an omnibus poll across the UK&IRE
Some of the things that emerged from this research:
Imp link bw libs and indv wellbeing & pot link bw libs and commuity wellbeing
Local authorities and libraries need to consider how to communicate what they do/their social impact more effectively
National leadership, policy and strategies are important
Leadership and innovation critical

We’re keen for lib lab to have a legacy and life beyond the programme
We’re going to try and facilitate this in a number of ways
Online material – make available to everyone – potentially developed/taken on by one or more of our stakeholders
Network - Inside out&bottom up
Innovative idea
Share learning
aims to educate members of the community on copyright laws and their digital rights in engaging ways.

The aim is to bring people together and extend the library’s tech offer.
The space will have tablets, gaming consoles, raspberry pi, display screens, interactive touch screen wall, digital sewing machine and mac book pros.
Workshops and sessions will be facilitated by experts.
Claire ran a successful pilot in July and will be going live with her project in September.
Anish has developed a branded ‘library bike’ for the library’s outreach team.
The aim is to advertise what library service can offerand deliver a pop up library service - sign people up to the library service, issue books, deliver story time.
Target events and areas of deprivation.
The bike has just been branded and will now be taken to events– branding was designed young people with mental health issues.

Eileen is creating a digital platform called Rub-a-Dub-Hub to provide support for parents of babies&pre-school children by:
Better enabling them to share books with their children
Increasing awareness of the impact of interaction with babies and pre-school children
The platform will host video tutorials (eg get your child ready for school, brain development), a virtual learning element linked to tutorials, videos of authors and celebrities reading picture book, QR codes linked to worksheets giving parents ideas about how to extend a book - and more.
Eileen has developed the logo, character, place for the platform within Libraries NI website, started filming and identified key partners.
Troy is developing a cloud-based, storytelling presentation to: raise the profile of Kirklees library, show how it changes lives, and alter public perception of what the library offers.
The project draws on both existing library statistics and case studies statistics don’t capture to try and show the personal stories and real life context of libraries’ work.
The presentation will include videos, stats and animations.
The presentation will be delivered to the chief librarian to a range of audiences: partners, neighbouring authorities, councillors and the public.

David is creating six ‘digital toyboxes’ that will be held in six different libraries across Edinburgh.
Each box contains different technology (media/AV, robotics, coding, music&sound, augmented reality and textiles).
Staff at each library will facilitate a series of workshops with teenagers to help them use the technology to create things.
The aim is to develop the libraries’ technology offer and engage teenagers.
David carried out a successful pilot in July and is planning to roll out the toyboxes in succession between August and January.
Cook2Learn (Various libraries across North Somerset) – Cooking workshops delivered in the library space will develop cooking skills, health literacy, numeracy and literacy. The project promotes libraries as safe community spaces and centres for learning.
Art In–formation (Pyle Life Centre in Bridgend) - Short courses in creative subjects such as film making, photography, life-drawing, graphic design will be offered to disadvantaged young people. The project will be delivered in partnership with a local youth centre to help improve these young people’s health and wellbeing and expand their skills base. The project draws on libraries’ role as a safe space for all and commitment to learning and content creation
Adopt a book (Exeter Library) - A British-Library inspired project to enable the community to preserve the library collection for present and future generations. The project exemplifies libraries’ role in promoting learning and providing cultural resources.
A sense of place (Limavady and Dungiven libraries in Northern Ireland) – As a result of Northern Ireland experiencing huge cultural changes post-conflict, this project will bring together people from different backgrounds in both Dungiven and Limavady towns to look at how their different heritage has shaped who they are and how technologies are helping them to share their heritage. The project supports the roles libraries play for the community, preserving heritage and as a safe space for all.
History in Action on the Screen (Bonnybridge Library in Falkirk) – Greenscreen technology will be offered in a library setting to enable young people and volunteer community groups to film short locally relevant historical pieces. The project illustrates libraries’ role as cultural centres for communities.
Skills training in IT & coding (Herne Hill Library in Lambeth) – In partnership with Kings College, courses in IT and coding will be offered to those in Coldharbour which is one of the most deprived districts in London. Those most in need of employment skills will benefit. The project plays to libraries’ strengths in facilitating learning and being open to all, whilst the innovative partnership will provide broader learning for the library world.
