The Ulwazi Programme: a Model for Community Digital Libraries in South AfricaNiall McNulty
IFLA 2015: Session 174a
Born of changes in the political context and the policy environment, the Ulwazi Programme is a South African library
initiative that has been set up by the eThekwini Municipal Library’s Libraries and Heritage Department. Its aim is to
record and share, in both English and Zulu, the local histories and cultures of communities served by the municipal
library in the greater Durban area. The Programme does this by using the existing library infrastructure and freely
available social technologies to create a wiki, much like Wikipedia, but localised for the eThekwini Municipality. The
presentation further argues that the Ulwazi Programme advances the library’s efforts to be an inclusive institution
and contributes to social cohesion at a local level.

Public libraries in The Netherlands: a powerful networkFers
In this presentation I will briefly present the structure of the public library network in the Netherlands, with particular emphasis on the way public library innovation is “organised”. There is currently a community of practice (CoP) organised for every specific area of library innovation which at the same time also addresses officially established national priorities, i.e. lifelong learning, development of traditional library services, education of the young population, etc. Librarians in each of the CoPs share experiences specific to their field based on which they identify future activities aimed at the development of the particular field. Librarians included in this CoP system come from libraries of all types and sizes regardless of the province or region.
Keywords: innovation, collaboration, Communities of Practice, network

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.

19. PROSPECTS
• GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
• GROUP OF PEOPLE AT RISK
• “RESTLESS” GROUPS – YOUNG PEOPLE WHOSE
READING HABITS WE SHOULD ESTABLISH AND
TO WHOM WE SHOULD CLARIFY THE ROLE OF
MODERN PUBLIC LIBRARIES
20. HOW WILL WE RESPOND TO THE
“NEW READER”?
• Young people want to access the whole library stock from a distance, from their PCs at home.
• When reading a book, they want to have access to all auxiliary sources (reference
books, dictionaries, bibliographies, magazines and newspapers, card-indices and catalogues).
• When in a reading situation, their interior should include all technical aids or “extensions” –
PCs or laptops, mobile phones, internet connection, flash memory devices, printers and
copiers.
• They need food, drinks, music or silence.
• Their reading bodies need furniture of suitable sizes, personalized temperature, lighting, air.
• Their reading bodies need accessories – not only the so called book wardrobe, but also an
armchair or a chaise-longue, a pillow, a bed, a soft floor mat, a foot stand or just a book/
newspaper/atlas rack.
• Young people also practice non-reading actively – they alternate between half an hour of
reading and half an hour of non-reading and in the pauses, they insist on watching or
listening to something, having a walk or a work-out in the gym, communicating.
21. THE NEW READER
• The reader perceives the documents accessible only in the library
(non-digitalized) as something obsolete and archaic.
• The reader sees the library as something antique and elevated
which they observe but is it necessary in the modern world? Why do
young people still think that the library is a quiet and elevated place
where only complicated questions are answered and silence is
imposed?
• Young readers also cultivate a negative attitude toward the fact
that someone else tells them what to read; dissatisfaction with the
fixed library open hours. They say they want the library open until
22.00 and on weekends.
• The changed reader has invented many ways of circumventing the
“order in the system” by “stealing” the full texts through their
mobile phones’ cameras.
22. Transformation... from a library to a
community center
• Differences, integration, opportunity, participation
• Universal access
• Without limitations
• For all
• Modernization
• Building a new image
• Provision of a free package of services to visitors
• Computers and internet access, online information, e-content of
local importance, training in computer and information literacy
• Implementation of community based projects, space for work and
community events, solutions of the needs of specific target groups
(children, unemployed, immigrants, etc.)
• Enjoyable physical environment
23. Leverage and Tools
• Integration
• Interaction
• The library and the local community
• Cohesion and partnerships
• Ethnic groups and integration
• Volunteers
24. We will continue to…
• Address groups and communities, their needs and
information demands
• Transform the library from a book storage space into a
living organism with an agile and constantly developing
identity
• Focus even stronger on the resources of local
history, archives, genealogy
• Foster the library’s main mission of a crucial public space
for communication and community development
