Das ist spannend, weil die Initiative des Instituts of Museum and Liebrary Services, US) sowohl Fallbeispiele integriert als auch ein Dokument publiziert hat zum Thema "21st century skills". Ausserdem wurde ein "self assesment-tool" entworfen. "The tool allows museums and libraries to determine where they fit on the continuum of 21st century skills operations and programming." Und die Seite des Instituts sammelt News und Veranstaltungen zum Thema.

"How to measure and define the success of cultural websites and online services is a problem common to all parts of the cultural sector - museums, archives, galleries, arts organizations, libraries and publishers. Worse, funding agencies and government departments lack the expertise to offer guidelines or set standards. The result is a confusing mixture of statistics and reporting that reveals little about genuine user satisfaction."

Last week I had the fun experience of leading a couple of internal training sessions at COSI about Yammer.  As a service to those who were unable to attend and as a resource to those of you who don't work at COSI, I will be blogging through the content we covered in these sessions.  At any point, you may also elect to go rogue and just read the tutorials and help documents at www.yammer.com (which conveniently enough is also where you sign up for Yammer…but that will be covered in my next post).

Likewise, software and services (just like our content) can today move with us. This year UKMW will look at digital heritage in the everyday - situated, sensory, social.

"A recently launched service in Germany called PaperC (Twitter: @Paper_c) looks like it might become a pretty handy resource for students and researchers. It is an online library of commonly used textbooks for studying. You can read all of them online for free, but you can also download PDFs, make notes and bookmarks, and copy and paste quotes. The latter functions cost something, but not much. A PDF of 10 pages costs 1 Euro. The idea is not that it replaces books, as such, but replaces the photocopier. So far they have 2,799 books in their library."

The next Stage: Moving from isolated digital Collections to Interoperable Digital Libraries: Online collections do not yet function like conventional libraries. Many digital collections are experimental and lack service components, and few have preservation components. The function of searching across collections is a dream frequently discussed but seldom realized at a robust level. This paper places a conceptual framework upon digital library development, and discusses how we might move from isolated digital collections to interoperable digital libraries.
