Innovation Enablers: Culture, Community & Code
How to infuse a culture of innovation to advance digital transformation
In this session, Angel Diaz, VP Cloud Architecture and Technology, will share how enterprise clients are successfully instilling a culture of innovation in support of their organization's digital disruption goals. The session will include examples on how today's business leaders are cultivating workplace environments that drive continuous improvements, innovative thinking and reward employee-driven initiatives. How to instill and support a start-up culture within the Enterprise and why developer ecosystems are typically at the heart of digital disruption will be reviewed. Central to establishing a culture of innovation is a focus on the right code and right community. Specially, Angel will explain how an "open cloud architecture" has become the technology behind today's business imperatives and the foundation for tomorrow's competitive advantage. Angel Diaz will present a roadmap to innovations being delivered by IBM and open communities such as OpenStack, Cloud Foundry, Node and Docker. Angel will be joined by Stephanie Trunzo, PointSource, Chief Operations Officer, to share how top-performing organizations are applying these innovative practices in order to advance mobile application development, infrastructure and management practices within their organizations.
Business Value and Business Model Innovation in Decentralized Interoperabilit...Boris Otto
NisB—short for “The Network is the Business”—facilitates a network of heterogeneous information producers and consumers that share a common interest in harmonizing their knowledge assets. By trading knowledge assets, the network establishes and refines interoperability between its parties. The value of the accumulated interoperability knowledge in the network improves as more the network grows in parties and assets and that interoperability knowledge constitutes economic value in its own right.
The innovative idea is to maintain and refine knowledge, striving for overall consistency. Knowledge creation leverages crowd concepts and the multitude of relationships among individual information items in the same domain.
NisB introduces business model archetypes that base the sharing of interoperability assets on a sound economic model balancing investment with gain while stimulating usage. Based on the understanding that many small contributions generate a great value, incentive models and mechanisms will be developed by which realized value consumed by one will compensate the other underlying contributors
Bloomsbury LMS Kuali OLE project critical success factorsAndrew Preater
I presented this talk on the project critical success factors for our implementation of Kuali OLE at Senate House Libraries, University of London for a SCURL event titled at the University of Edinburgh on 12th April 2013.
I co-presented with our project manager, Sharon Penfold. My sections of the talk are here - I describe 1) the reasons for choosing an Open Source / Free Software LMS; 2) our reasons for choosing Kuali OLE in particular; 3) the actual work done at Senate House Library towards OLE implementation so far; and 4) the project success factors for technology in particular and staff workflows and culture as well.
My presenting style is very light on text - you want to look at the notes in the downloaded version.

6. Current m-library
initiatives
Mobile chat (library enquiry service).
Location of free PCs in library
Status of printers in library
Newswires from news agencies
Mobile access to eBooks, audiobooks thru Overdrive, mobile download of free
music thru freegal, and mobile access to ebsco databases...all accessible from
mobile website.

8. Future m-library
initiatives
Am very interested in Adobe Content Server for serving ebooks flexibly to
mobile readers
We're looking at redeveloping our library website presence using
responsive web design principles
AR to aid orientation esp at induction
Development of mobile enquiry service
We are considering adding tablet computers to the collection that would circulate
to students with disabilities
M-libraries Conference 25 Sept 2012
10. Overcoming barriers to m-
library developments
Go for quick wins, using apps/services that are free or low cost,
whilst beginning to embed mobile considerations into
processes/projects
Re-prioritizing staff time
Making it a priority over some traditional services that are no
longer meeting users needs
By making a strong business case
Staff training and hiring new skill sets
Utilising expertise from other departments (e.g. IT
department) and other institutions
By determining what our users would want to access on mobile devices,
and making the service user-led.

M-libraries Conference 25 Sept 2012
Introduction to JISC Mobile Infrastructure for Libraries programme JISC m-library community support project - evidence gathering and community building Evidence gathering included collating online resources, co-ordinating case studies, and producing pathways to best practice. Community building included organising information sharing event, delivering presentations and workshops, blogging, and establishing community website which has recently moved to mailing list.
Survey aimed to get snapshot of situation across libraries - what are they doing, what are they planning, what barriers are there. Initial survey launched in November 2011 and closed in December 2011. Second survey launched in July 2012 and closed in August 2012. Both promoted via mailing lists and social media.
Although there were a lower number of respondents in the second survey (likely due to the time of year), proportionally the representation was very similar with the majority of respondents from academic libraries. In both surveys, the majority of respondents were from UK (66% and 65%), with other responses from USA, Australia, Canada, Europe, Africa, South America and Asia.
Dramatic increase across all types of m-library initiatives. This could be skewed because in the initial survey we gave an open box whereas in the second survey we gave tick boxes (based on categories from previous survey). QR codes seem to have experienced an increase in popularity, and we see that organisation mobile apps appear to be now more common than library specific mobile apps. CAVEATS: Self-selecting respondents therefore data likely to be inflated.
Other initiatives currently being used in libraries included the following, though most of these only had a very small number of respondents.
You will immediately notice that these figures are much smaller, possibly due to the fact that people are not yet sure what they plan to do in future (many said they were planning to use mobile technologies but not sure how). Areas to highlight in this graph are the fact that mobile catalogue, mobile website, QR codes and mobile app have all decreased (possibly because many libraries either already have or are working on developing). However, mobile roving has shown a dramatic increase. Over the course of the project the growth of tablets has been huge, and as most open responses refer to iPads or other tablets we suspect that this growth has led to more libraries planning to use them in future. This has also been a key topic for discussion at events and on social media and there is a clear strong desire to implement this in many libraries.
Sample of other ideas for future m-library initiatives
Some additional options were added to the second survey based on the open comments - these are marked with an asterisk. It is pleasing to see a number of barriers have reduced, though resource constraints and infrastructure/policy constraints appear to have become a more major barrier. In the second survey, we also asked an additional question to establish which of these was the greatest barrier. Resource constraints (45.5%) and infrastructure/policy constraints (17.2%) were by far the major barriers.
Quite a few people mentioned a broken record technique, patience, or prayers - here is a selection of some more practical approaches.
