Digital Infrastructures that Embody Library Principles: The IMLS national dig...Trevor Owens
Digital library infrastructures must not simply work. They must also manifest the core principles of libraries and archives. Since 2014, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has engaged with stakeholders from diverse library communities to consider collaborative approaches to building digital library tools and services. The “national digital platform” for libraries, archives, and museums is the framework that resulted from these dialogs. One key feature of the national digital platform (NDP) is the anchoring of core library principles within the development of digital tools and services. This essay explores how NDP-funded projects enact library principles as part of the national framework.
Recollection is a tool that allows for the dynamic interaction with and understanding of digital cultural heritage collections by tapping into temporal, locative, and categorical metadata. It was initially developed for NDIIPP partners to develop common interfaces for distributed collections, but is now more broadly available. Recollection ingests data from various sources, augments it with additional metadata like dates and locations, allows for the design of views and interfaces, and publishes and embeds these views while also sharing the underlying data and views with others.
Good Practice by Focuss.Info: Community Contributed Content with Web 2.0 Soci...Richard Lalleman
The document discusses the Focuss.Info Initiative, which uses social bookmarking tools and Web 2.0 technologies to allow individuals and institutions to share and contribute favorite websites. It enables users to save websites on the internet for multiple people to access. Key features include minimal technical maintenance and a focus on sharing to disappear disciplinary borders in research. It also addresses questions around whether these tools are driven by the majority or can replace generic search engines.
The document discusses how cloud computing could impact the future of libraries. It argues that while the cloud removes the need for a physical location by putting information online, the idea of the library commons is based around a physical space. It outlines different types of cloud services and provides an example where a library head argued buildings will still be needed as warehouses but services and content will live in the cloud. The document reviews past predictions about the end of physical libraries and integration into virtual reality as everything moves online.
The document discusses the changing nature of metadata and libraries' role in discovery. It argues that metadata must be integrated across systems to provide users with easy, comprehensive discovery and access to materials. Libraries should share metadata openly and partner with other institutions and technologies. The goal is a global network where users can easily find and access information from any starting point.
The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can UseTrevor Owens
As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.
The document discusses the evolution of the web from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and the concept of Library 2.0. It describes how Web 2.0 enables user participation and collaboration through social software. Library 2.0 aims to harness collective intelligence and user participation by implementing Web 2.0 technologies and principles in libraries, such as wikis, user tagging, and user-driven services. The document provides examples of libraries that have implemented Library 2.0 ideas and discusses practical considerations for libraries looking to adopt Web 2.0 approaches.
This document discusses rethinking the library services platform (LSP) model to improve interoperability between systems. It notes that while new LSPs have emerged, significant lack of interoperability remains between components of the library technology ecosystem. The author argues that libraries should adopt a platform approach like Windows or Apple, where vendors provide tools and services to allow third parties to build applications on their platforms. This could encourage more applications and make platforms more valuable. Prioritizing the library user perspective may change how libraries think about LSPs. Standards bodies are working on interoperability issues but more remains to be done to fully integrate solutions.

Exploring Digital Libraries: Chapter by Chapter Summary by Facet PublishingKaren S Calhoun
From Facet Publishing, on the new book by Karen Calhoun. From book cover: "thought-provoking and practical, [the text] not only weaves an enormous amount of content into a manageable resource for teaching and learning, but also covers new topics in the field, including digital library roles on the social web and in libraries' digital future."
The document summarizes key concepts about linked data and the semantic web. It discusses how linked data uses URIs and RDF to publish structured data on the web in a way that is machine-readable and interconnected. It provides examples of how linked data is being implemented in projects from the UK government and BBC to link disparate data sources on the web. While progress is being made, challenges remain around getting organizations to publish their data as linked open data and proving the business value of doing so.
Web 2.0 refers to a set of technologies and principles that promote user participation, openness, and network effects. It includes user-generated content through blogs, wikis, social bookmarking and social networks. While promising new ways for users to engage with information, Web 2.0 also raises issues around ensuring quality, managing risks, and protecting user data and privacy that information professionals must navigate. Overall, Web 2.0 has the potential to greatly benefit users and organizations if adopted carefully and guided by its principles of openness, sharing and harnessing collective intelligence.
Technology Trends in Libraries - Today & TomorrowRachel Vacek
This presentation discusses the basic concepts of Web 2.0 and how they are being used in libraries.
