The document discusses the Bruges Public Library's "Cabrio" system which aims to integrate, advise on, and mobilize access to the library's resources in three ways:
1. It integrates the library's catalogue with resources from other libraries and databases to provide a more comprehensive search experience for users.
2. It provides advisory services such as personalized recommendations, subject guides, and enriched metadata to help users discover relevant resources.
3. It mobilizes access to the library's content by optimizing its website and blog, encouraging sharing on social networks, and planning to integrate review and list-making tools to better engage users outside of the library.

This document summarizes Scott Berkun's presentation on how progress happens. It discusses that change is difficult because it requires work, thinking, and puts people at risk. However, change often happens through power, persuasion, and intuition. Progress typically occurs through a process of piloting an idea, showing success, finding allies, asking for more resources while staking one's reputation, and then repeating this process. The document provides tactics for both individuals and managers to drive change, such as hiring for change-mindedness, encouraging failures, and providing cover fire for new ideas.

This document summarizes the key findings from research analyzing policies and practices regarding the digitalization of cultural heritage in Poland. The research included analyzing legislative documents, websites containing digital cultural heritage objects, and academic dissertations. The analysis revealed a gap between policies promoting digitalization and actual online strategies and practices in Poland. Preliminary findings indicate that while EU policies view cultural heritage as a shared European resource to promote economic growth, Polish policies emphasize preserving national cultural heritage. The research is ongoing but aims to understand changes over time in digitalization standards, types of objects digitized, access to resources, and audience interaction with digital cultural heritage.

Editor's Notes
Good morning everyone! Fist of all, let me introduce myself. I’m Karolina Minch and here is my colleague Matylda Filas. We are librarians from Warsaw University Library. Our topic today is „ Polish Digital Libraries System in Historical and Geographical Outline ”. By the end of this talk you will be familiar with Polish experiences with digitization from the first attempts in this domain to creati on of national network of digital libraries.
The presentation is divided into four main parts: In the first part the historic and geographic background will be outlined, what is important to understand the complicity and multiculturality of Polish libraries’ collections. In the second part we will describe dLibra software, developed since 1999 by a public research and development institution the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Centre (PSNC). The third part we will discuss a notable Polish phenomenon which is the wide network of regional digital libraries. Finally, i n the fourth part will present the PIONIER Network Digital Libraries Federation – the next stage of the development of the network of distributed digital libraries and repositories in and out of Poland.
Right away, I’d like to show you short movie which will demonstrate proces of changing Polish borders. The size and shape of Poland changed many times during its history . The late 1700s was a crucial time in the history of Poland as it was cut up and subdivided among the Kingdoms of Prussia, Russian Empire, and Austria in three stages. Poland regained its independence after the First World War, only to be ocupied twenty years later by Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War. In the consequence of the Second World War Poland lost more than 70% of total librarirs holdings (over 50 mln volums). Each time Polish borders were being reshaped, ethnic groups were dislocated. Thus Polish libraries also display holdings originally coming from Poland’s neighbouring countries and representing these languages.
dLibra is Digital Library Framework and is the first Polish software to create and manage a digital library. N ow the most popular software of this type in Poland , enables building professional repositories of digital documents . dLibra system is composed of main module dLibra - Server and modules of client applications: dLibra - Reader and dLibra - Editor. dLibra repository web pages are specially prepared for communication with Internet search engines, therefore digital objects stored in dLibra repositories are better exposed on the Internet and it is easier to find them in different search engines .
The metadata of digital objects is harvested automatically with the OAI-PMH protocol. The basic metadata scheme used for harvesting is the Dublin Core schema, which is obligatory in the OAI-PMH protocol. dLibra system helps to create digital library by offering technical support. As we can see on the example of record form Warsaw University Digital Library e-BUW.
This diagram illistrates the Polish Optical Internet Network PIONIER connecting all libraries which agree to participate in project. Now there are 57 digital libraires therein 26 are regional and 31 instituional. There are two main organizational models of digital libraries : Regional digital libraries assemble/bring together institutions from a particular region of the country to display objects related to the history and culture of this region . The first regional digital library was Wielkopolska Digital Library created in 2002. - Institutional digital libraries are created by one institution and contain mostly materials related to the institution. I n stitutional digital libraries are often created by academic and research institutions as repositories. Our University digital library is an example of institutional digital library and it has been accessible since the end of 2007.
The Digital Libraries Federation (DLF) is the next stage of the development of the network of distributed digital libraries and repositories in Poland . DLF is available from June 2007 DLF system capacities include : - Distributed searching in all participated libraries (simple and advancced) - A ccess to digitization schedule - Creating personal account - Search plug-in - M echanisms for d uplication detection and prevention of concurrent digitalisation a particular book by different libraries - Statistics - Promotion and visibility in paneuropean projects like Europeana, DART etc. Of our over 400 000 publications. 2 slides ago we saw the result of local search. This is the result of distributed search of the same record in Digital Libraries Federation.
This map illustrates PIONIER network for distribut ion of digital libraries resources. The PIONIER DLF is a Polish metadata aggregator for Europeana since December 2009 and for DART-Europe since January 2010. And it is a co-operation partner of ViFaOst since May 2010. On this map we can see administrative division of Poland. Each region has its own regional digital library.
In sum : Thans to super-high-speed optical internet PIONIER network And OAI-PMH metadata standards Users can search polish digital resources Or Locally – through the specific digital library Or By distributed searching in Digital Libraries Federation, Europeana, Dart, VifaOst …
In bried we want to say that: Polish resources are interesting for foreigners because Polish digital libraries offers international cultural heritage. In Poland the system of digital libraries is decentralized. It seems that social projects, are much more effective in Poland than centralized government policy. Thanks to hard work of enthusiastic and charismatic librarians and IT engineers polish resources are visible all over the World via Europeana, DRIVER, DART, VifaOST. For example Polish resources already amount 3% of Europeana resources.
