This document discusses the role of public libraries in providing digital resources and support to patrons in the 21st century. It describes how GLL, which manages libraries in London, provides a range of physical and virtual ICT resources including computers, WiFi, online resources, and classes to encourage digital literacy. GLL recognizes its responsibility to serve as technology hubs and help patrons engage with technology. It is working to expand its digital offerings through initiatives like a mobile Library LAB, increased social media presence, and virtual programs. The document stresses that ICT ensures the continued relevance of libraries.
The document discusses restructuring national collection policy in Finland through increased cooperation between different types of libraries. It notes the changing needs of library patrons and proposes a more patron-focused model of resource sharing. Specifically, it suggests a system where libraries voluntarily cooperate nationally by identifying their unique collections and making less-used materials available for sharing through new resource sharing software. This would allow patrons to access more resources while potentially reducing duplication between library collections. The working group identifies challenges to this approach, such as copyright issues and the roles and responsibilities of different libraries, and proposes further actions to strengthen resource sharing in Finland.
Pursuing the Digital Libraries Dream: Perspectives on Becoming a VendorRichard Huffine
A presentation for the Career and Personal Development track at the Catholic University of America's 2014 Bridging the Spectrum Symposium for the Library and Information Science Department within the School of Arts and Sciences.
The document summarizes the reasons for building a new library in Herning, Denmark, to replace the old 1970s library. It needed renovation, and the new library provides better facilities, activities in the city center, visibility, access, and student areas. The construction process is outlined from 2013-2014. Facts about the new library include its total space, floors dedicated to collections, children's areas, cafes, and staff work areas. The organization, service standards, challenges of the new space, and high visitor numbers after opening are also summarized.

It also notes challenges like competing with online information sources. The review discusses expectations for user experiences and access. Key recommendations include improving the library system, increasing discovery and access through new interfaces, strengthening instruction and collaboration, and improving the library's online presence and visibility on campus. The goal is for the library to be a place for innovation, service, and leadership.
Danish library association and the danish digital libraryMichel Steen-Hansen
In The Danish Library Association we are always happy to have guests from around the world. This week we had a visit from Estonian Librarians Association and the National Library in Ljubljana.
On this occasion I made a short presentation on Danish Library Association and The Danish Digital Library.
Today we have visitors from a Turkey. Therefore, we have made a presentation of the Danish Library Association and our special organization's structure. We will also present the Danish think tank Future Libraries and their study
Economic Value of Public Libraries
Danish Library Association
Danish Library Association has a special association structure of library professionals as well as local politicians on the Council. The President is always politicians and local politicians always constitute the majority.
I think this mix of politicians and library professionals Works in a constructive way. Because the professionals inspire the politicians and the politicians give a good insight into how we need to prioritize. And other times it functions inversely.
So I hope we also in the future will be able to get this symbiosis to function and that local politicians want to put as much thought into the matter and will work in our Board, like they do today.

Libraries of the Future – Knowledge, debate and Network
The Danish Think Tank has the ambition to:
• Produce knowledge, analysis and cross-disciplinary activities about the future role of the libraries
• Generate professional, public and political debate and awareness of the role of libraries now and in the future
A bottom-up initiative
The Danish libraries face many challenges such as digitalization and changes in expectations and demands on both physical and digital services; lack of public awareness of library services, changes in library user behavior, lack of political awareness and changes in the role of the librarian. The Think Tank was initiated by the Danish Library Association (DB).
The Think Tank is a two-year project, started October 2012, and co-financed by the participating libraries, library organizations and central library players
The Economic Value of Public Libraries
The Danish Think Tank Libraries of the Future & Copenhagen Economics has
conducted the first study on the economic impact of the Danish public library. The
Danish public libraries provide multiple services to the Danish public today,
which overall seems to be well received by the public. However, the
contributions are often measured in terms of library use (e.g. how many books
were borrowed) and user satisfaction surveys, which are far from adequate when
we want to discuss the role libraries play in modern society. This study digs
deeper and provide the first assessment of the economic value of the public
libraries in Denmark.

MOOCs for Language learning and OpportunitiesLangOER
This document summarizes a discussion about making MOOCs more reusable in different contexts. Key points addressed were how to build in adaptability from the start using open source programs and low adaptation costs. Another topic was the downfalls of openness in online education, with solutions focusing on making it easier to add third party support services for translation, English as a second language, and online study skills. Recommendations included collaborating with other institutions to stimulate communities of practice and making it easier to add third party support services.
The document summarizes the Europeana Fashion project, which aims to aggregate over 700,000 digital fashion items from 22 partner institutions in 12 countries to improve access to European fashion heritage online. It discusses the objectives to improve interoperability and exploitation of fashion collections, as well as efforts to engage communities through an online thesaurus, social media, conferences, and Wikipedia edit-a-thons. Workflow details are provided for data ingestion from key partners like the Victoria and Albert Museum and Archivio Emilio Pucci collections.

The document summarizes the creation of a new centralized library and information services within the Finnish government. Key points:
- Previously, each ministry had its own small library services which were consolidated into a single unit under the Prime Minister's Office in 2015.
- Over 450 staff from ministry libraries were transferred to form the new Information Support and Publication Unit, which manages collections, databases, and provides research support.
- The consolidation aims to provide equal access to resources for all government staff and allow specialization of roles. It also reduces overlaps and enables more efficient contracting and use of space.
- Transition involves merging collections from various ministry libraries into three main library locations over several years, along with transferring staff and operations
Sapienza's 21st century libraries for a new generation of users Mary Joan Crowley
Sapienza University in Rome has over 70 faculty and department libraries containing print and electronic resources to support learning, teaching, and research. The libraries recognize that to engage the next generation of students, they must adopt new strategies that position the library where students are already working online and collaborating socially. This includes providing virtual access to services, participating in social media conversations, and developing mobile apps to extend the library's reach beyond physical spaces.
The document provides information about the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). IFLA is the leading international body for libraries and information services.

The National Library of Finland has outsourced several of its library systems and services over the years to reduce costs and focus on its core tasks. It outsourced server maintenance to CSC which led to savings and improved support. It also took over integrated library system administration for some university libraries. The Linnea consortium outsourced its interlibrary loan hardware to a Canadian company. Outsourcing requires careful planning and contract negotiation to define responsibilities and service levels.

Developing a national digital library stapel - meijers 20160302Enno Meijers
In 2015, the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) became legally responsible for the digital infrastructure of the Dutch public libraries.
The KB wants to offer a platform where people and information come together. Their most important task for the years to come is the development of a national digital library - together with their partners in the network.
In this session, representatives from the KB will present their approach towards the Dutch digital library infrastructure. They will address some issues and welcome input from colleague librarians that are facing the same challenges.
2014 Bringing Libraries on the agenda - a political QuestionMichel Steen-Hansen
The Danish Library Association (DLA) has a unique organizational structure that involves both local politicians and library professionals on its Council. The President is always a politician, and local politicians always constitute the majority. The DLA advocates for library development to municipalities and secures members' influence over issues. It also serves as an inspirational network for politicians, library employees, and others interested in libraries. The DLA lobbies decision-makers and raises awareness through conferences and projects to support the transformation of libraries into 21st century institutions that go beyond books to serve communities physically and digitally.
Europeana is a digital platform that provides access to over 31.5 million digitized items from European cultural heritage institutions. It aims to make cultural works openly accessible online. Content is aggregated from over 2,300 institutions and includes books, photographs, paintings, newspapers, and more. Europeana's goal is to engage people with cultural heritage through its website and by facilitating reuse of its data through APIs and hackathons.
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.

The University of Glasgow Library developed a strategy to deliver mobile services over multiple phases.
Phase 1 involved developing a mobile catalogue, implementing QR codes, testing instant messaging and e-books, and conducting user surveys. Based on survey findings that most use mobile internet for email, social media and browsing, the top requested services were searching articles, checking out books and reading e-books.
Phase 2 will focus on improving the mobile website, expanding access to e-resources beyond e-books, using QR codes in physical locations, teaching digital skills, and utilizing mobile devices to improve workflows. The strategy is being implemented and promoted in phases based on user research.
The document summarizes several ongoing reviews that will impact post-16 education in Scotland. Key points include:
1) Reviews cover college governance, ICT infrastructure, and the role of colleges. Recommendations include regionalization and shared services.
2) Budget cuts of 7-23% are expected over the next few years for colleges. Capital funding is also being cut significantly.
3) The "Putting Learners at the Centre" review proposes a more interconnected, sustainable, and learner-centered post-16 system focused on employment.
4) Colleges will receive regional funding to enhance regional provision and outcomes. Courses must focus on recognized qualifications and job skills. Funding models will
The document summarizes the work of SLIC (Scottish Library and Information Council) in supporting further education (FE) libraries in Scotland. It discusses SLIC's annual FE library survey which benchmarks resources, technology, and staffing. The survey found that most colleges cite JISC ebooks as their most used online resource and are making good use of technology like QR codes. It also notes future challenges for FE libraries like reduced budgets, restructured services, and changing user expectations. SLIC helps FE libraries respond by promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, workforce development, and digital initiatives to support quality library services across Scotland.
The document summarizes the SCURL Walk-In Access to E-resources Project which investigated technical and operational solutions to enable higher education institutions to provide access to electronic resources for external and walk-in users where licenses permit. The project aimed to deliver a toolkit identifying good practices and built on outcomes of previous UK projects. It discusses various approaches taken by member institutions to provide access within the terms of licenses, including the use of Shibboleth, EZProxy, dedicated computers and IP ranges.
The British Library is facing significant budget cuts while still aiming to fulfill its mission of enabling access and supporting research. This has required developing new digitization and funding models, moving from selective "boutique" digitization to larger-scale "mass digitization" projects pursued through public/private partnerships. Examples discussed include newspaper digitization through a partnership with Brightsolid and book digitization through agreements with Microsoft and Google. While innovative approaches are needed, traditional efficiency improvements also remain important to make progress despite budget challenges.
The document summarizes research from two surveys on students' use of mobile technologies and attitudes toward using library services on their phones. It finds that most students own smartphones and browse the web daily, with Apple and Samsung being the most popular brands. While over 90% of students would like to access library services on their phones, about a third said data limits restrict their mobile web use. The document concludes that libraries need to design accessible services for a variety of mobile devices and operating systems while keeping pace with the rapid changes in mobile technology.
The document discusses the University of Glasgow's experiments with demand-driven acquisition (DDA) models for ebooks. It implemented a small patron-driven acquisition trial through an ebook aggregator, spending a limited amount on about 1500 ebook titles over 4 months. Usage was high, with 10% of titles receiving 10 or more access and the average cost per used title being £55.96. Only 10% of titles saw no repeat use after initial purchase. The university is considering further DDA trials and evaluating different models to help build its ebook collection in a responsible way while supporting user needs.
The document outlines three deliverables for a project: 1) Install a prototype digital research space, 2) Design and build user interfaces and workstation arrays demonstrating a vision for multimedia digital research, 3) Evaluate user experiences in the technology-rich environment. It then summarizes findings from evaluating the prototype space, including that researchers want advanced search functionality and better organization of research papers, and that Wi-Fi access and using their own devices were important to users. The recommendation is to focus on greater remote access to resources, advanced search and reference tools, and training to facilitate their use while acknowledging a role in the full digital research process beyond content provision.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
