  • he heart of Library 2.0 is user-centered change
  • nviting user participatio
  • It also attempts to reach new users and better serve current ones through improved customer-driven offerin
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Technological advances in the past several years have enabled libraries to create new services that before were not possible, such as virtual reference, personalized OPAC interfaces, or downloadable media that library customers can use in the comfort of their own homes. This increase in available technologies gives libraries the ability to offer improved, customer-driven service opportunities.
  • Libraries are in the habit of providing the same services and the same programs to the same groups
  • , Stephens believes that “Library 2.0 will be a meeting place, online or in the physical world, where [library users'] needs will be fulfilled through entertainment, information, and the ability to create [their] own stuff to contribute to the ocean of content out there.”
  • . It's never been easy to reach this group with physical services, because libraries are constrained by space and money and cannot carry every item that every user desires
  • Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired, who coined the phrase in an article of the same name in 2004, argues that the demand for movies or books that are not hits far outnumbers the demand for those that are hit
  • Going after the diverse long tail requires a combination of physical and virtual services

  • the vast majority of libraries continue to rely on legacy proprietary systems
  • libraries using open source integrated library systems indicates that the vast majority of libraries continue to rely on legacy proprietary systems
  • there are at least a dozen active OSS projects based in or with their genesis in library organizations
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • xCatalog
  • LibraryFind
  • Blackligh
  • iVia,
  • What makes OSS different from proprietary software is that it is free in every sense of the word: free as in “no cost,” free as in “unencumbered” and free as in “not locked up.”
  • questioned whether OSS is overall less expensive than its proprietary counterparts and has called for libraries to look hard at cost factors
  • OSS projects are thriving communities with leaders, followers, contributors, audiences and reputation systems.
  • Like so many things librarians hold dear – information, books and library buildings themselves – OSS is open, available and visible for all to see
  • OSS presents important opportunities for libraries
  • This is the world we want to be in again. It will not always be easy, and there will be a few spectacular failures. But there will also be spectacular successes – and this time, they will happen in the open.

The Strongest Link: Libraries and Linked Data - 0 views

IMT122 Reading List Supplementary Reading Week 03 Linked Data Topic 03 IMT122

shared by Joanne S on 10 Sep 12 - Cached
  • For many years now we have been hearing that the semantic web is just around the corner
  • most libraries, however, is that we are still grappling with 2.0 technologies.
  • By marking up information in standardized, highly structured formats like Resource Description Framework (RDF), we can allow computers to better "understand" the meaning of content
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • For most librarians this concept is fairly easy to understand. We have been creating highly structured machine-readable metadata for many years
  • By linking our data to shared ontologies that describe the properties and relationships of objects, we begin to allow computers not just to "understand" content, but also to derive new knowledge by "reasoning" about that content.
  • the term "Semantic Web" to refer to a full suite of W3C standards including RDF, SPARQL query language, and OWL web ontology language.
  • This article will outline some of the benefits that linked data could have for libraries, will discuss some of the non-technical obstacles that we face in moving forward, and will finally offer suggestions for practical ways in which libraries can participate in the development of the semantic web.
  • What benefits will libraries derive from linked data?
  • Having a common format for all data would be a huge boon for interoperability and the integration of all kinds of systems.
  • The linking hub would expose a network of tightly linked information from publishers, aggregators, book and journal vendors, subject authorities, name authorities, and other libraries.
  • semantic search could take us far beyond the current string-matching capabilities of search engines like Google.
  • What are the major obstacles for libraries?
  • A fundamental challenge for the development of linked data in libraries is lack of awareness.
  • Linked Data becomes more powerful the more of it there is.
  • Until there is enough linking between collections and imaginative uses of data collections there is a danger librarians will see linked data as simply another metadata standard, rather than the powerful discovery tool it will underpin.
  • a more practical concern is that changing the foundation of library metadata is no trivial task.
  • Privacy is a huge concern for many interested in linked data.
  • Related to privacy is trust.
  • Rights management poses potential problems for linked data in libraries. Libraries no longer own much of the content they provide to users; rather it is subscribed to from a variety of vendors.
  • What needs to happen to move libraries to the next level?
