Introduction to digital libraries - definitions, examples, concepts and trend...Olaf Janssen
This presentation gives an introduction to digital libraries.
It first explores different defintions of the phrase "Digital Library".
It then looks at 11 real life examples of digital library websites (slides 44-112), including Europeana, Google Books, Flickr the Commons, Delpher, Wikisource, The Memory of the Netherlands and Project Gutenberg. Each of these DLs is assessed against five different criteria (concepts, properties)
- Content/User experience
- Cultural heritage domain (libraries, archives, museums, AV-institutions)
- Controlled / run by
- Content providing parties
- User involvement
Many references are made to Web2.0-concepts from Tim O'Reilly's article http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html
From these 11x5 = 55 datapoints 6 trend plots are drawn (slides 116-166) to show "what is hot" and "what is not" in the current DL-landscape. Key slide summarizing this = no 168
Finally, some strategies for content & brand distribution of DLs are being discussed (SEO, Wikipedia, social & ego networks) , as well as some financial trends in DLs
This presentation was given by Olaf Janssen (National Library of the Netherlands - KB) as a lecture for students of the master's course "The Library" at Leiden University, most recently on 3-11-2016.

Access to electronic information resources in librariesavid
Recent advances in the field of Information Technology have already influenced the life in more than one direction. Its impact on the field of Library and Information Science is also quite significant, more so in advanced countries. Most obviously the situation is a resultant of the growth of electronic publishing and of networks that facilitate scholarly communication. Technological advances, especially the Information Technology are facilitating a fascinating change in libraries with a vision and are trying to accommodate all types of media for providing electronic information services to the users in a more convenient and effective way. The article describes various types of eminent Electronic resources used in libraries. It briefly touches their advantages, disadvantages and usage in libraries.

A keynote presentation that I gave at the The 4th African Digital Scholarship and Curation Conference (see: http://www.nedicc.ac.za/test/Programme.aspx) on 16 May 2011.
A digital library is an integrated set of services for capturing, cataloguing, storing, searching, protecting, and retrieving information, which provide coherent organization and convenient access to typically large amounts of digital information.
The first workshop on the "Qatar Digital Library Project”, held at Qatar University on May 20, 2013.
This project is part of a program of national priorities for scientific research NPRP, and funded by the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF).
The project is managed by Dr. Edward Fox, the Lead Principal Investigator from Virginia Tech and Dr. Mohamed Samaka the Co-LPI from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Qatar University, and shared by many experts in digital libraries such as Dr. Lee Giles from Pennsylvania State University, and Dr. Richard Furuta from Texas A & M University. Consultants such as Dr. John Impagliazzo from Hofstra University in New York and Dr. Susan Lukesh, and Carol Thompson and Robert Laws, researchers Myrna Tabet and Asad Nafes from Qatar University and Tarek Kanan from Virginia Tech, Hamed AlHouri from Texas A & M University.
This workshop is the first part of a series of workshops and seminars to present the project and to train faculty, students, librarians and digital Qatari community members interested in joining the project and expand the national collections and services.

The Web 2.0 is here and it’s changing everything that we do on the Internet! Library 2.0: A New Version for the Future looks at how library systems and services fit into this user-centric world where dynamic, Web-based tools, online communities, and the ability to personalize everything drive one’s computing environment. In this day-long seminar we will look at how people are using technology (in and out of the library) and explore the the mindset of library users. We will also take a look at specific Web environments, tools, and applications that are currently shaping the information landscape.
The present society is considered an information society. A society where the creation, distribution, use, integration, and manipulation of digital information have become the most significant activity in all aspects. Information is producing from every sector of any society, which has resulted in an information explosion. Modern technologies are also having a huge impact. So managing this voluminous information is really a tough job. Again WWW has opened the door to connect anyone or anything within a fraction of a second. This study discussed the Semantic Web and linked data technologies and their effect and application to libraries for the handling of various types of resources.

Getting in the Flow! : How libraries can adapt to changing users and environm...Guus van den Brekel
http://kib.ki.se/kibkonferens/2007/program.html
This presentation provides an overview of causes why library services are fading out of sight for most user groups and how these users and their expectations have changed without us realizing. It contains a strong plea for a focus shift for librarians, a focus into the environments where the users are, instead of expecting them come to us, or our resources. Exploration of all relevant user environments for you organization, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and certainly a more structural technical re-design of library information systems is needed to deliver library services and resources at the place of need. Examples of short term possibilities are shown (i.e. Library Toolbar), as well as more long-term solutions clarified by examples from the Libraries of the University of Groningen and the Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen.

Integrating Social Bookmarking into Library ContentKen Varnum
The University of Michigan library launched MTagger, a social bookmarking tool, in the winter of 2008. MTagger allows users to tag webpage on the library site, catalog records, or digital images, or anywhere else. MTagger is deeply integrated into our VuFind experimental catalog (launched February 2009), providing the mechanism for users to select and sort their “Favorites.” It is also part of our new Drupal web site (launched August 2009). MTagger preserves the concept of “collections” and enables a faceted approach for users to narrow search results. The tool was intended to enhance findability across collections and to expose “hidden” collections. Learn about the library’s original design, how we conducted usability testing, what we found, and how we changed the application in response.

This presentation provides an overview of causes why library and information services are fading out of sight for most user groups and how these users and their expectations have changed without us realizing. It contains a strong plea for a focus shift for librarians, but in fact also for companies and organisations. A focus into the environments where the users are, instead of expecting them to come to us, or our resources. Exploration of all relevant user environments for your organization, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and certainly a more structural technical re-design of (library) information systems is required to deliver your services and resources at the place of need. A simple short-term solution like a QuickSearch Library Toolbar is explained, several other tools to “enrich” the user’s personal search environment, as well as the more long-term ongoing work at the Libraries of the University of Groningen and the Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
35. Round the clock availability. A major advantage of digital libraries is that people can gain access to the information at any time, night or day.
36. Multiple access. The same resources can be used simultaneously by a number of institutions and patrons. This may not be the case for copyrighted material: a library may have a license for "lending out" only one copy at a time; this is achieved with a system of digital rights management where a resource can become inaccessible after expiration of the lending period or after the lender chooses to make it inaccessible (equivalent to returning the resource).
37. Information retrieval. The user is able to use any search term (word, phrase, title, name, subject) to search the entire collection. Digital libraries can provide very user-friendly interfaces, giving clickable access to its resources.
38. Preservation and conservation. Digitization is not a long-term preservation solution for physical collections, but does succeed in providing access copies for materials that would otherwise fall to degradation from repeated use. Digitized collections and born-digital objects pose many preservation and conservation concerns that analog materials do not. Please see the following "Problems" section of this page for examples.
39. Space. Whereas traditional libraries are limited by storage space, digital libraries have the potential to store much more information, simply because digital information requires very little physical space to contain them and media storage technologies are more affordable than ever before.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/459418289/Relevant: I need to have the latest resources in any specific topic. My database therefore must show me the latest resources…Easy to use: Duhhhh I am not a programmer- need to find thing quick!Searchable: The point of a good database is to be searchable! I must be able to easily find things that I have stored.Portable: I need to be able to access my resources from any computer or mobile device.Scalable: My database must be able to grow with my interests and needs while still be able to do any of the above.Tagable: I mys be able to assign my own tags or keywords to a resource so that I can find it again (see searchable) Collaboration and discussion: If the library allows me to collaborate and share my resources with my learning network automatically it will be a great plus. If I can also discuss each research with others to add context to a resource….Aggregation. I would like to pull in and place my resources into my other learning platforms e.g. My website, my school blog/site/learning management system. Embeddable: This means that even though the resource is in the database library, a list or keyword cloud can be generated so that I can embed it in other places where it will be updated automatically as I add to my database.Annotation: Wouldn’t it be great if I could leave messages and notes on my resources as reminders to myself and for discussion by others?Citation: Not only do I want my database to remember where on the internet it found the resource, I would also like an automatic citation reference to be created.Free: I am a teacher- I do not have money…
Photo source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trucolorsfly/1731439493/Social bookmarking is a collaborative way to collect and manage resources. It is characterised by being able to tag (assign keywords) to a resource as well as other metadata (descriptions) in order to find it again later. The resources and their metadata and where they can be found on the internet are then stored in a powerful database which makes detailed searching possible, not only for your own purposes but for your learning network as well. You can then have discussions or comment on resources share d by your network. This in effect means that we can learn over each others shoulders.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishkamina/3164626835/To demonstrate how a integrated digital library will serve an educational context my case study is based on my Mathematical literacy teachers community of practice. It has 4 “tools” that makes it possible to function and support the goal of doing advocacy as well as provide a platform for teachers to share and learn. The 4 tools are:The social networking platform on NING (discussions, physical upload of resources, blogs, chats)A advocacy blog for parents and teachersA digital library social media database on DiigoA twitter communications channel.

As only maths lit teachers and teachers supporters can join, you can use the guest access: Username: guest@mathsliteracy.co.za Password: maggie123 to have a little peek around.
Our maths literacy community bookmarking group can be found here: http://groups.diigo.com/group/ml-123 Every time a teacher upload a resource, I (or 1 of the bookmarking team) tag their resource to our diigo database. All resources me and other members find on the internet relating to mathematical literacy, also get tagged along with uploaded resources. If a teacher then click on a specific resource they will be taken to the resource, either on the internet or in the Maths literacy community. This happens so seamlessly hat they are not aware that they are in fact moving between platforms the entire time!!
Even though the resource references are actually databased and bookmarked in Diigo (Using 1 click in my browser), I have embedded the tag cloud and the link roll on the Resources page in the online community. This means that every new resource added to the database is automatically updated on the resource page with very little effort. When a teacher click on the relevant topic or resource, it takes them back to the Diigo site where the resources are listed. Clicking on the resource there will in fact take them to the actual resource/discussion or page on the web.All this happens seamlessly without teachers actually realising that they are moving between platforms.
All the resources are captured with one click! You will also be able to see if the resource was bookmarked previously as the little book icon will show red.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/darwinbell/395970515/This is a framework of how a digital library in Diigo can be propagated across all your platforms. You start with finding the resource. Click on the Diigoaddon in your browser where you can add specific tags and a description to your resource (metadata). You can also at this point choose to send the resource to specific groups or even send it to a list that you can order further as well fine-tune later (e.g. reading list). As Diigo allows you to create networks of people with similar interests, their resources will show up in your network space and yours in theirs. This allows you to keep track of resources that you might have otherwise missed. You can also annotate and leave messages and notes on webpages. Once a resource have been bookmarked, your network can then discuss each resource or add comments. The next level of the framework depends on Diigo’s ability to aggregate data. The first automatic feaure that I can set up is to tell Diigo to create an automated daily or weekly blogposts of resources tagged with a specific keyword e.g. mathematics. All the followers of my mathematics blog can then go and read the resource list on my mathematics blog and if they have subscribed to my blog they will even receive it as an e-mail. RSS widgets are pieces of code that I can embed practically on any online platform (blogs, websites, school moodle sites , LMS, CMS, Wiki etc). It creates a tag cloud or resource list (link-roll) which will auto update no matter where I embedded it, every single time I add a 1-click resource! Lastly, every time I bookmark a resource (1click) I can choose to also send out a tweet. So if my teachers are following the tweet handle, they will instantly know that a resource have been bookmarked, making it the ideal communication system.
Picture source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/459418289/Diigo fulfils almost all the criteria in my DL wish list except for citation for which there are a number of great online resources (see Zotero on next slide) and click on the picture for my diigo collected tag for citation.
