The strategy aims to connect businesses, communities and government through a digital environment.
“Library spaces in the knowledge society – knotting together global and local”bridgingworlds2008
This document discusses the role of libraries in knowledge societies. It notes that knowledge has become a main factor of social disparity and power is based on expertise. It also examines paradoxes in knowledge societies like the more context-free information exists, the more important context-bound knowledge becomes. The document discusses public spaces and how libraries serve as representative, appreciative, and social spaces. It also looks at how libraries can link local and global networks by providing both physical and virtual spaces and resources.
1. The document presents a model for measuring the commercialization of knowledge from research institutions. It includes licensing, spin-offs, economic impact from sales and employment.
2. The commercialization engine shows how licensing and cost recovery funds the research institution while taxes from sales provide longer term benefits. Spin-offs are new companies created from the institution's research.
3. Examples are given of results applying the model, showing billions in sales and thousands of jobs from a research institution's spin-offs and licensing activities over 17 years.

Marketing cross media: towards a narrative interpretation of experience(s)Valentina Rao
The document discusses cross-media marketing and how it is often referred to as "experience". It proposes analyzing cross-media storytelling through the lens of experience as a narrative form. Experience can encompass the different aspects of cross-media storytelling while maintaining a central perspective. There are three main types of narrative in experiences: environmental/emerging storytelling, conversational storytelling, and collaborative storytelling. Analyzing experience as a narrative form may provide useful insights into understanding the dynamics of cross-media storytelling.
The document discusses developing a metrics-based online strategy for libraries. It describes how libraries have expanded online through tools like OPAC, blogs, podcasts and widgets. This has increased libraries' online presence but also made measuring use and understanding more complex. The document suggests taking an open question approach to metrics to learn about users, where they come from, their needs and satisfaction. It provides examples of internal traffic, survey, external traffic and social metrics libraries can track to help answer questions and inform strategy.
This document discusses the relationship between information literacy and Web 2.0 technologies. It argues that Web 2.0 is a social phenomenon enabled by technology that has impacted how users, especially the web generation, interact with and create information. Information literacy, defined as appropriate information behavior and ethical use of information, is key to helping users effectively leverage Web 2.0 tools. The document outlines strategies like active learning, collaboration, visual learning and reflective learning that leverage Web 2.0 technologies to develop students' information literacy skills.
This document discusses the rise of data sciences and its convergence with other fields like neurosciences, cognitive computing, and more. It also addresses the impact this convergence may have on employment, education, and new industries. Specifically, it predicts a collapse in low-skilled jobs by 2030, and a greater demand for highly skilled multi-disciplinary jobs. By 2040, both low-skilled job losses and high-skilled job gains could impact 5-10 million positions in France. The document raises topics like cognitive capitalism, disruptive destruction of industries, data rights, and whether human augmentation or machine humanization will dominate.
“How do you provide for everyone: success with diverse populations in the UK ...bridgingworlds2008
The document summarizes the library service review conducted by Hillingdon Council in London. The review was prompted by customer feedback that found less than 30% rated the libraries' book selection, attractiveness, and computer facilities as very good. The review established 5 objectives: 1) extending library services through partnerships, 2) removing divides between services, 3) increasing book stock, 4) improving buildings to attract customers, and 5) better staff utilization. Two libraries that underwent renovations saw dramatic increases in visitors and books issued, with increases upwards of 80% in the first months after reopening.
The document discusses the shift from consumer to prosumer culture, where consumers also take on producer roles. It contrasts peer production through commons-based collaboration with traditional market-based production. Makerspaces and fablabs are highlighted as enablers that provide services, facilities, and foster a maker subculture supported by crowdfunding. The long tail theory is referenced as more niches are served beyond just mainstream hits.
The IT Town Hall document outlines the IT priorities and projects for FY14. The key focus areas are:
1. Improving academic tools like Moodle through better usability, functionality, and mobile integration.
2. Expanding wireless network coverage on campus and improving perceptions of wireless connectivity.
3. Creating standard operating procedures to improve end user support through centralized computer management practices.
4. Modernizing learning spaces by inventorying classrooms and labs to support bring-your-own-device policies with upgraded technology.
The Earth is composed of three main layers - the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer and is made up of either dense oceanic crust or less dense continental crust. Below the crust is the mantle, which makes up the bulk of the Earth's volume. At the center is the core, about 1/3 of the Earth's mass, which is mostly made of iron and is very hot. The crust and upper mantle exist as separate tectonic plates that slowly move over time.
"Avatars: HVX Silverstar | HVX Voyager & HVX Shephard in Teen Second Life"bridgingworlds2008
This document discusses the growth and use of virtual worlds like Second Life for libraries. It notes that 80% of people are expected to use virtual worlds by 2011. Many libraries have established a presence in Second Life to provide reference services and classes. Some challenges include the learning curve of using virtual worlds and ensuring access for users. The document highlights examples of library services, collections, and events provided in virtual worlds.
The document discusses playfulness in the 2008 Obama presidential campaign on Facebook. It argues that the campaign employed playful tactics like applications and framing their presence as fun to make their political messaging more viral in a top-down strategy. However, playfulness can also emerge bottom-up from grassroots support when popular political expression takes on playful forms. The document examines how embedded playfulness on the internet and in social interactions on Facebook specifically can blur the lines between true and false, and bring a new form of productive political play and social participation when social dynamics meet online citizenship.
