The document discusses how a government depository library incorporated various Web 2.0 tools and services into its website to enhance user experience and promote resources. These included Meebo chat, AddThis sharing buttons, Google custom search, Delicious social bookmarking, and RSS feed conversion. Using these tools decreased pages while increasing external links. Future initiatives may include using Facebook, Twitter, and Yahoo Pipes for additional promotion and content aggregation. Implementation of some tools like Pipes presents challenges around technical skills and source compatibility.

Module 3 transcript - School for Change AgentsNHS Horizons
Transcript from Module 3 - Thursday 2 March 2017.
It is natural to resist change. Rather than seeing resistance as something negative, here we shift our perspective so that we see dissent, diversity and disruption as essential components of effective change. However, we need to build resilience in order to work effectively with resistance. This module offers some tools and techniques to ensure that we remain strong, adaptable and able to continue our work as change agents.

This document summarizes the key points from a presentation on building a community of nursing ambassadors. It discusses establishing nursing ambassadors to act as local representatives, facilitate networking, and promote nursing in a positive light. The goals of the Nursing Now England campaign by 2020 are outlined, which include greater investment in nursing education and standards, dissemination of best practices, and more nurses in leadership roles. Requirements for ambassadors include things like receiving training, sharing knowledge, and participating in events. The presentation encourages everyone from students to experienced nurses to sign up as ambassadors.
It's hard enough getting them to school, much less prepared for college and a vocational future. In this presentation I will walk you through some practical steps toward changing the battle at home into a family team activity focused on career success.

Lima, 8 am. I’m stuck in the traffic jam, wishing I could take a metro. But there’s no metro. No regular public transport. “If I was in THEIR place, I would fix that”, I’m complaining, thinking about the local authorities. My neighbours do the same but finally they give up because they know that nobody would listen - in emerging markets like Peru, the user experience is too often subordinated to various political and economical interests. However, as researchers and designers we have tools to change this reality. Let’s learn how we do!

A call to culture- IFLA presentation aug 2017Europeana
Presentation given at the FILA conference in Warsaw on the theme of Collection Development. The presentation shows the progression we have made from crowdsourcing 1914-18 diaries, postcards and letters to the development of Transcribathons through active impact assessments.
The document outlines an impact workshop held on December 13. It includes exercises for participants to go through involving looking at impact through different lenses, creating an impact pathway, and defining performance indicators. It also involves a scenario where participants are staff members of the Scottish Historic Photo Museum tasked with publishing their collection of 100,000 digitized photographs as open data and proving to their director that it achieved a wide impact. The workshop breaks participants into groups to complete the exercises from the perspectives of different professionals and aims to help them measure the impact of opening up cultural heritage collections online.
2013 oct 26 alez culture! past, present, future of europeanaEuropeana
The document summarizes the past, present, and future of Europeana, an organization that provides access to digitized cultural heritage collections across Europe. It discusses Europeana's initial aggregation model and successes in building infrastructure and standards. However, it notes Europeana needs to improve reaching end users and creative industries directly. The document proposes a new digital service infrastructure model where Europeana focuses on connecting partners and acting as a platform to help institutions change more quickly. It aims to better serve partners by helping reduce complexity and leverage communities.
Slides used for the 2013 edition of the Access to Digital Archives Summer School at the University of Macerata. The workshop aimed to provide participants with tools for innovation, in particular business modeling.
The document discusses Europeana's efforts to make cultural heritage metadata openly available and linked. It describes how Europeana aggregated metadata from various institutions but did not allow for redistribution. Europeana then shifted to openly licensing metadata under CC0 to encourage apps and sites to build upon the data. The document also discusses establishing a "cultural commons" where cultural institutions could collectively own and contribute to shared infrastructure for metadata and content.
This document discusses business model innovation in archives. It summarizes two case studies: 1) The National Archive of the Netherlands joined Flickr Commons, uploading 400 photos. This increased audience and user participation through tagging. It led to over 1 million views. 2) The Rijks Museum addressed the "Problem of the Yellow Milkmaid" where yellow copies online made visitors doubt the original. Open metadata was investigated, finding demand-driven and supply-driven approaches. Risks and rewards of open data were workshopped. All data will be CC0 licensed from 2012 onward.
Business Model Innovation (public sector dilemma)Europeana
The document discusses using business model innovation to preserve cultural heritage and make it broadly accessible through digitization. It provides an example of a project that made 400 photos from a national archive available on Flickr to reach a larger audience and create user participation through social tagging. The document compares the old and new business models using the Business Model Canvas framework. In the new model, the content was open on the internet, allowing for a platform, technology, and social tagging. This increased relevance and earning capacity through sponsorship, printing on demand, affiliates, and advertisements. The document advocates combining knowledge and expertise to assess which business model innovations make sense using the "Hedgehog Concept" of focusing on one's strengths.
This document discusses business model innovation for open cultural heritage collections. It provides examples of using an open image collection to engage new audiences and create value through social tagging and one million page views. A traditional cost structure is clarified and new models for value creation through sponsorships, printing on demand, freemium options, advertisements, community donations, and affiliates are proposed. Participants are asked to design an open business model for the image collection.

Presentation on business model innovation in the cultural heritage sector. We used Alexander Osterwalder's business model canvas to highlight bottleneck's that hamper true business model innovation in this sector. The presentation was given during in Delft during a workshop on business model innovation organized by STAP, DEN and Knowledgeland in march 2009.
Did you know that drowning is a leading cause of unintentional death among young children? According to recent data, children aged 1-4 years are at the highest risk. Let's raise awareness and take steps to prevent these tragic incidents. Supervision, barriers around pools, and learning CPR can make a difference. Stay safe this summer!

assessing impact = systematically
understanding the positive change
that you are evoking in the lives of
people
The title of my presentation is a paraphrase of a book I highly recommend: Culture eats strategy for lunch (by Curt Coffman). It implies that what is eaten for lunch just doesn’t resonate anymore. There is a new predator who is bigger than you, your time is up!
Is it like in fashion where such a line pops up every season? Is it as banale as saying: ‘orange is the new black’?
If say you write a sustainability plan these days, you are essentially asking for support of what you are doing, without necessarily telling why it is worth supporting. And that doesn’t cut the mustard anymore.
While if you say you are doing an impact assessment these days, people may think you actually know what you are talking about ;-). You are indicating that you are prepared to dive deep into the matter and are concerned with the real results.
To me it comes down to the same thing: you are in the unfortunate position that you are very passionate about what you do, but you have to compete for resources with others who may be just as passionate as you. So you better have a decent story to tell!
So how do we approach this issue at Europeana? An interesting starting point to lead you into this, is to show you a short film. Armed with a lightweight camera and some pencils we asked asked a couple of people in our network point blank: what is your dream? So sit back and relax….
(end of film). You may have recognised Nick Poole in this story, then chairman of our network.
We have translated Nick’s dream, and the dreams of many others, into one mission statement: “We believe that we can transform the world with culture”. Quite a statement for what is essentially a metadata shop….
So how do we know that we are making progress against that big aim?
[Like any self-respecting organisation, we have developed a strategic plan which provides a pathway towards a beautiful world a couple of years ahead, that we will reach if we keep ourselves strictly to the plan. Or so we think. Because evidence shows that in the 21st century, strategy is nothing more than a pattern in a stream of decisions (Mintzberg). ]
We felt that we needed to approach this methodologically if we want to have any chance at succeeding. So we went shopping. We were lucky that such a model was being developed right around that time by Dr. Simon Tanner of Kings College, to whom we owe a lot. With a little adaptation we could make it our own…
Balanced we interpreted as not ‘singular’, balancing the expectations from our various (often political) stakeholders that their investment should have impact on on a social/cultural level, an economic level and on our ability to make our industry more innovative, apt to deliver on the challenges of the future.
Values are the things that drive everything that we do, the culture we nurture that make us different from everyone else. At Europeana are driven by making digital culture as usable as possible, in a reliable way and to the mutual benefit of the cultural institutions that take care of our heritage and the people who want to use that heritage for work, learning or pleasure. What this means in practice is that we are obsessed with making data available as openly as is legally possible but with correct attribution and and that we provide statistics to all contributing institutions.
This is in my opinion the biggest contribution from Tanner: he made us think beyond the mere output of our activities, towards what we believe the outcome of these activities will have, the changed behaviour on the receiving end. It made us aware that it wasn’t the digitised data that we collected about the first world war, it was the stories that connected people and the deeper understanding that this activity led to that provides the evidence of our success.
So this is how we started to look at our activities. When we lobby for copyright reform, will that result in stronger, more adaptive heritage institutions? When we make openly licensed material available to the creative industries, will this result in new businesses and economic innovation?
We we decided to put our framework to the test on one of our most successful projects, the 1914-1918 collection days. This project has been running since 2013, and since we have collected almost two hundred thousands postcards, diaries, photographs helmets from thousands of people in over 20 European countries.
But how do you do that? What questions do you ask and how do you evaluate the results? Tanner’s model gave us some clues but his notions are- and he will hate me for saying this - not easily translatable to questions you can ask normal people. So we refactored them a little ;-)
On the one hand we had the two roadshows we had planned in May in Prague and in Poznan (Poland). In video you see Ms. Elsbieta Sobiak, who brought to us photographs of her grandfather who got injured in Verdun. She recalled that she remembers him vividly, crying while singing German songs when at work. Nothing particularly remarcable or unique from a historic perspective. But as you can see she was clearly very moved when she shared her story. It meant a lot to her, and she had gone through a lot of trouble to make sure that her story would become part of the larger European story that we want to tell.
This is the human interest side of the story, still familiar territory for most of us. But we also wanted hard data, evidence that would go beyond the soft side of the story. Now this is a completely different ballgame. We are now entering the realm of statistics, ruled by data crunchers. So we engaged a band of professionals, created a survey, and started interviewing some of the contributors. We are still digesting the data, but I am going to share some of the preliminary results with you.
We sent the survey out to about 5.000 people on our mailing list and shared it widely on our social media channels. We asked people to help us understand what the service means to them so that we can improve it.
In total we got 1,517 responses- not a bad results by any standard.
After radical sanitation (we took out what is called ‘speeders’, people who complete a survey far faster than average) we were left with 393 what we consider ‘valid’ responses.
Note that because we reached 68.357 people on our site this sample represents 0.58% of users. This means our sample is considered indicative but not fully representative of our users.
I interpret this as a good result.
This is interesting, as it suggests that while the respondents believe it is very important for them, they think it is much less so for their friends who may have less of an interest in the subject.
Apparently the respondents that it is crucial for future generations to take lessons from this tragedy. They value it even higher than for themselves!
We need to improve the product!
This is perceived value. I interpret this question as: how much money do you think we should invest as taxpayers in making this service available?
People who identified themselves as users of the service valued the fact that the service exists higher than the ones who don’t use the service, as one would expect. But non-users also put a decent value mark on it. It is like saying: how much is it worth to you that the Scottish National Library exists. You may never go there but value the fact that it is there.
What have we learned?
It is difficult to be scientific about this and give very hard evidence. In the end I don’t believe we can or should try to translate everything that is meaningful to us into numbers. It would be like asking to value on a scale of 1-10 how much you love your partner or children. But I do think that being more systematic in your approach and to be in direct contact with your customers is vital to understand what you are actually achieving. This is like asking your partner if she loves you. You’ll be surprised to hear what she has to say…
