The libraries held over 61 million documents.

Folklore Museums of today: Make them Come Alive! - Victoria Pervizou, Histori...WeAreMuseums
The Historical and Folklore Museum of Nikiti aims to showcase the history and culture of the village of Nikiti through a collection of over 1,500 objects. However, the museum faces challenges of limited resources, funding, and communication. To address this, temporary art installations were set up outside the museum to promote it, attracting visitors who then shared about their experiences online. Partnering with local businesses for events like open-air cinema and concerts helped increase awareness of the museum in innovative ways. Continued engagement with the community is needed to establish sustainable solutions for these initial challenges.

The document summarizes a study on how visitors of Estonian public libraries view the roles and cultural participation opportunities of libraries. It finds that expectations are grounded in four characteristics: as a cultured place providing literature and cultural events; a place for socializing with others; as a place for self-education and browsing materials; and as a service in transition, adapting to ebooks but not replacing printed materials or other non-core functions. The study used qualitative interviews with 15 public library visitors of different ages and library types to understand their perspectives on current and potential library roles.
The library-like civic institutions: new Renaissance of a book in EstoniaMai Poldaas
The results of the study about spontaneous library services offered by civic institutions in Estonia are introduced. Why do communities feel the need to create their own libraries? What is their motivation behind these activities and what are they missing in already existing public library services? Two cases were investigated as examples of this phenomenon: library at Sänna Cultural Mansion in a small village in Southern Estonia and library of the New World Society in Tallinn. Qualitative research methods were used to carry out the study.
Understandings of the role of a public library in EstoniaMai Poldaas
Methodology and some results of the study about understandings of the role of a public library in Estonia are introduced.

Role of Libraries as key agents of change in European e-inclusion ContextJānis Ziediņš
Libraries in Latvia serve as key agents of change by promoting e-inclusion. There are over 1,000 libraries in Latvia serving a population of 2.27 million people. Libraries have digitized collections and provide access to digital resources through an integrated online portal. The portal allows users to search library collections, cultural websites, and museums across Latvia. It also gives librarians a way to promote programs and events and add local content. The goal is for libraries to become community centers that provide access to information, knowledge, innovation, and socialization.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Maria Haigh on the evolution of libraries in Soviet and post-Soviet Ukraine. It discusses how libraries played an ideological role in the Soviet Union by controlling access to information. While some changes have occurred since Ukrainian independence in 1991, including a shift towards open access, the legacy of Soviet control continues to influence modern Ukrainian libraries through institutional inertia and resistance to change from librarians. The future direction of Ukrainian libraries and their role in society reflects broader questions about Ukraine's political and cultural transition.

Examples of popular library board topics include events, displays, crafts, and literary or film adaptations.
Bursting the Bubble: connecting with communities making culture on their own ...Tim Jones
Slides from a presentation I made to the annual Arts & Audiences conference of the Nordic States, which in 2014 had a focus on the role of digital in audience development for the arts.
From the programme: "Bursting the community arts bubble: connecting with communities making culture on their own terms. Is the game up for the traditional model of "community art" making (& funding)? This session offers a few provocations towards re-thinking our approaches to producing "community arts", in an era when the digital shift blurs the line between professional and amateur creative, but also creates new kinds of cultural disenfranchisement."
Here is the presentation from our event. Have you ever wondered how today’s Information Professionals got their start? How they keep up with the ever changing demands of technology and information needs? Or how you too can have a career as an Information Professional? Join us for our upcoming panel presentation and discussion with Linda Swarlis, Nancy Lensenmayer, Rachel Rubin, Sue Wolford, and Susan Yutzey at the State Library of Ohio.
The document discusses priority directions for developing modern museums in Kazakhstan.

Spatial history of the State Historical museum: bringing the physical and the...Anna Mikhaylova
My PhD research is focused on the spatial history of the State Historical museum (Moscow, Russia). With 5 million objects in its collection it is one of the largest museums in the world.

And can the digital media somehow help?

They also bring cultural and social benefits to communities by hosting events and activities that allow people to engage with each other. Special services ensure that disabled users and those who live far from libraries can still access library resources.

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.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
It is wise to use all the possibilities of internal publishing If a library wants to have an excellent relationship with the media it should adopt a reporter or better couple of them from the local newspaper What is newsworthy? new or unusual library services, library building projects, Celebration of major library anniversaries, Public training programs sponsored or co-sponsored by the library-major success stories, Exhibits and displays-special programs 2) Get some airtime in the local radio to talk about library services, events, new literature 3) Public service announcements on the radio will reach an additional audience
1)On the 21st century it is expected that culture institutions have a functional webpage with all the useful information about the library and the services 1)If the city webpage has an event calendar then libraries exhibits and events should reflect there too. www.kultuuri.net www.virumaainfo.ee
Our library is keeping two separate blogs- on Lääne-Viru County Central Librarys’ Blog we focus on local and national librarianship- news, developments, problems and on events what have got our attention
As the title already says- this blog consists of book suggestions from books what have impressed or moved us
Besides libraries newsletter information about our exhibitions and events is also available through Rakvere culture mailinglist
every library should have so called highlight event Different events for interest groups- simpliest way to market is to offer guided tours in the library cooperation projects- in a community there are endless possibilities to market library in cooperation with other local institutions like museums, city goverment, schools, theatre We marketed estonian literature with Rakvere Theatre help- every library reader who lent estonian literature got a special password which abled to get 10% discount from theatre tickets
Rakvere book fair has been a part of Rakvere city days programm since 2005
Free second hand book fair- citizens can bring books what they dont need or want anymore, library organizes them and opens the second hand fair
We all know that usual (book)exhibits and dislplays doesnt attract anymore-
Nordic poetry exibition on the windows of library
Islandic writers in Lääne-Virumaa County Central Library on a Nordic Libary week
1. All the written marketing material should have professional appearance (brochures, flyers, posters etc) 2. Annual report is the best way of marketing library to the local government and library board
Provocative marketing campaign- in march 2011 there were parlament elections in Estonia , like we all know all the media is concentrating on politics and politicians then and we tried to take advantage of that. We created our own election campaign- we recycled the slogans and promises of main political parties in Estonia, rephrased them more librarianlike.
