The document discusses how technology has transformed access and dissemination of cultural heritage resources. It outlines the progression from pre-Gutenberg writing tools and manuscripts, to Gutenberg's printing press, 20th century technologies like word processors and search engines, and 21st century digital access. While libraries' core function of providing cultural memory and extending access has remained the same, the resources they provide have changed from analog to digital formats, allowing ubiquitous access. Libraries must now focus on digital preservation and understanding users to remain relevant memory institutions in the digital age.
For libraries and museums, the best option to digitize is to seek the support of a reliable document scanning company that can ensure excellent output.
Knowledge creation and the expanding role of the 21st century libraryKathlin Ray
Today’s students need (and deserve) a university library that shatters traditional boundaries by envisioning its primary purpose as enabling the creation of new knowledge. A library with a focus on knowledge creation will continue to provide information resources, tools and expertise but it will prioritize innovation and collaboration. And that changes everything in subtle and profound ways. A library with the “construction of new knowledge” as its primary purpose will have non-traditional outcomes and assessment measures. It will communicate and collaborate and innovate differently. It is fundamentally different than libraries organized around resources or services or even clients.
Using the DeLaMare Engineering and Science Library at the University of Nevada, Reno as a case study, this presentation will discuss how the libraries, under the leadership of new director Tod Colegrove, applied theoretical models of learning and innovation in a real world setting. DeLaMare Library needed to be reinvented from the ground up and it needed to become a place that generated innovative and collaborative thinking across disciplines. This required enormous change – organizationally, culturally, and physically – with minimal resources. Over the past three years of this experiment, there have been many challenges but it is clear that DeLaMare Library has been transformed from a dusty little-used backwater into a lively incubator for collaboration, innovation and knowledge creation. (One piece of evidence: use of the facility has risen 600%).
Positioning DeLaMare as a library that facilitates knowledge creation has been a game changer. Now offering 3D printing, DeLaMare illustrates the power of harnessing technology to meet strategic goals. Students are highly motivated to learn new skills on their own in order to take advantage of this new technology. They experiment and problem-solve and can quickly iterate to perfect their designs. Even better, students from engineering are now rubbing elbows with people from biology, computer science, geology, chemistry and even art. There is still work to do but through this ongoing endeavor to transform the library, we have learned many lessons about the importance of organizational readiness, staff development, community outreach and smart use of emerging technologies. Here's what we’ve learned.

Vision liner is a kind of linear request that is generally put on the perimeters regarding eye to formulate an impressive eye charm. Along with developing mindset in the direction of searching a lot better than some other, now-a-days guys have started using vision ship, called person boat.
Tales of Transformation – Learn from Real Experiences of Fellow Librarians wi...ProQuest
As collections become predominantly digital, the needs for managing and providing access to a library's holdings have changed. As a result, the management practices and workflows librarians employ must also evolve. ProQuest believes it's time for systems to transform by adopting a new model in library automation. Join Jane Burke, Michelle D'Couto and three Intota development partners as they discuss new functionality, as well as key findings from the implementation of this Library Services Platform.
Lee Rainie will describe the latest findings of the Pew Internet Project about libraries and the new mix of services they are offering their patrons – and considering offering.
Preparing Research Librarians for Transformed Libraries: Creating a Community...Greg Raschke
Preparing research and subject specialist librarians for transformed libraries through creating a community of practice. Explores informal, organic and formal, credentialed development opportunities as part of a community of practice for testing, developing, and extending research life-cycle services.
From local infrastructure to engagement - thinking about the library in the l...lisld
Libraries are rebalancing services and directions so that they are more active in the lives of their users. This presentation frames this discussion. It looks at shifts in user behaviours, collections, and spaces, and describes how OCLC Reseach is helping libraries make these transitions.
This presentation was given at the Minitex ILL Meeting in St Paul on 12 May 2015.
How university libraries of the future need to make global content accessible locally, and local content accessible globally. Given at Slovakian Digital Library conference, October 2012
How will education libraries best serve their communities in 2015?
Why do we need to organise information more effectively? How do we incorporate the evolving semantic web environments? In a world of API and big data, libraries (and in particular school libraries) are faced with a significant ‘conceptual’ challenge. The new RDA cataloguing standard will substantively influence and then change information organization, focusing on users, access and interoperability. Search interfaces will be the key. We’re not dealing with records anymore. We are working with interrelated nodes of data. Are you prepared?
Library as Place, Place as Library: Duality and the Power of CooperationKaren S Calhoun
This talk, delivered at the February 2010 OCLC Regional Council Seminar in Auckland NZ, explores the turbulent conditions in which libraries are evolving as both places and virtual spaces on the Web. How are these conditions driving change in library collections, catalogues, and cooperative systems? What are OCLC's strategies for helping today's libraries gain visibility and impact through cooperation and data sharing? If we were building a system for library cooperation today, what would it look like?

The facilitated collection: collections and collecting in a network environmentlisld
We often think of collections as local – whether owned or licensed. Increasingly this picture is changing in several ways. Libraries are sharing responsibility for collections. Libraries are providing access to materials they do not own, but which are available to their users (freely available digital book collections for example). Demand driven acquisitions changes the view of local collections. Institutions are also thinking about how to manage locally produced materials (research data for example) and support access across institutions. This trend is supported by changes as discovery is peeled away from local collections. This presentation discusses these trends, and collections and discovery change in a network environment.

How has technology transformed access and dissemination (horstmann)

How has technology transformed
access and dissemination?

do they?”

Atomization of knowledge resources, Ubiquity of Access, Multimodal Interfaces
6. What stayed the same?

Libraries provide a memory for cultural heritage & extend access from the few to the many
7. What has changed?
http://blogs.sas.com/content/text-mining/files/2011/08/computer-head.jpg
Analogue & digital -- knowledge resources atomized -- access and dissemination one
8. Implications
– Libraries to become digital memory institutions
• The Bodleian is preparing for digital preservation
– Libraries to understand better the connection
between knowledge resource and the human
• The Bodleian put the ‘reader’ in the centre of its
strategic plan
– Libraries to transform catalogues into context
• The Bodleian is preparing for a semantic Oxford
9. Conclusion
– Technology massively accelerated access and
dissemination of knowledge resources and this
somehow changed the nature of knowledge
– Thus, libraries still are as facilitators of access and
dissemination, and did not change their function –
but they change their content
