Current and Emerging Trends- a compilation -

Libraries 2020



Knowledge Management

Discovery

Creation

Dissemination

Evaluation

What is Library service about?



OCLC (OCLC Online Computer Library Center) Academic Library Manifesto 2009 - Support for the Research Process

calls for academic libraries to

“reassess all library job descriptions and qualifications to ensure that training and hiring encompass the skills, education, and experience needed to support new modes of research“

Change is the only Constant in Life

Let`s enjoy our accomplishments - but

Libraries are early adopters of technologies



What do our users want?

Change is driven by users‘ expectations

Let‘s ask Abbey!

• Online-library

• That learns what I like

• Multimedia

• Everything quick and easy

• Be able to add my own stuff

• Share other peoples‘ stuff

• Do it all from my iPhone or eBook reader

• More mashed up contents

• Semantic tagging

• Real time information

• Augmented reality

• Geospacial tagging

• Interactive touch screen

- AND I WANT IT NOW -



Areas of Change

• Changes in higher educationBachelor/master courses

• Changes in technologyNetworking, ubiquitious computing, gesture based computing, cloud, grid

• Change in Communication needs Change in expectancy of experiencing: people are

finding new ways to describe, explain, and interact

with the world around them

• Communication and Interfacing

• Data Management, Dissemination and Data Mining

• Library as Learning Environment

• Collection Development



Communication and Interfacing

Mobile apps are no more the direct translation of the desktop/web applications to a mobile environment

Apps in the sense off iphone or Android apps will dominate end user applications

increasingly users will be coming to the library expecting to use their own devices rather than the library’s computers

web experience can be tied to physical locations, as with QR codes

more and more library technology infrastructure moves into the Cloud WorldCat, IT system hosting

Augmented reality

Gb/s Networks throughout the world

Any kind of library alerts

Catalogues and search engines using semantic techniques, including blogs and social networks



User interfaces might look different i.e.

user friendly interfaces by Web 2.0/3.0 and social networking tools

• integrating library resources into user workflows

•building community around library resources

•helping users to manage their own library

•single interface to multiple resources

Communication and Interfacing



Communication and Interfacing – Ubiquitous Computing Mark Weiser 1991

1989: $150033MHz, 20MIPS

2008: $0.5020MHz, 20MIPS

Everything you can buy will have an embedded microchip able to interact with the rest of the world

… creating the „Internet of Things“



Communication and Interfacing – The Internet of Things

In computing, the Internet of things, also known as the Internet of objects, refers to the networked interconnection of everyday objects. It is described as a self-configuring wireless network of sensors whose purpose would be to interconnect all things. The concept is attributed to the former Auto-ID Center, founded in 1999, based at the time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Wikipedia

• Web 1.0 Universal Access to Knowledge

• Web 2.0 Universal Access to Communication Applications

• Web 3.0 Universal Access to Context

• Web x.x Universal Access to the World around us - Sensors



Communication and Interfacing – The Internet of Things – SpimesDavid Orban http://vimeo.com/8885011

Spime is the name – coined by SF-author Bruce Sterling – of an object,

• knowing its own location in space and time (space and time spime)

• having memory and computational capabilities

• containing some kind of sensors to perceive characteristics of themselves or the world around them

Currently: # cell phones ~ # human beings (~109)

Very soon: # sensors in autonomous agents # human beings

Intel CTO Justin Rattner: „very soon we shall have a trillion nodes world-network (1018) around“http://wn.com/Pervasive_computing



Communication and Interfacing – Spimes – already around

Robot vacuum cleaner finds it‘s power station by itself and knows when it‘s time to go there … and more:

The beginnings of car-to-car commuication: Volvo Distance Alert System

Pachube (pronounced „PATCH-bay“) is a data brokerage platform for the internet of things, managing millions of datapoints per day from thousands of individuals, organisations & companies around the world www.pachube.com

Spimes in a library

•books knowing and communicating when to be taken back to the library

•free chair making itself known to a meandering student – i.e. to his/her cell phone - looking for a place in the library



Data Management, Dissemination and Data Mining

up to now: provision of published data - books, journals, databases

Present and future:

Provision of all kinds of data … published, non-published, multimedia, primary research data

Analysis of all kinds of data … data mining

Dissemination of all kinds of data … publishing consultancy, open access, repositories cloud



Data Management, Dissemination and Data Mining - Catalogues

“Up to now librarians are committed to building their own ‘information ecosystem’ that is self-contained and pure and free from contaminants, like a locally-owned, socially conscious information utility”http://litablog.org/2010/07/lita-top-tech-trends-ala-2010/

Social bookmarking services will become more relevant

•www.delicious.com

•www.digg.com

•www.stumbleupon.com

Interfaces might look different

•gesture based

•touch screen

•voice recognition based



Data Management, Dissemination and Data Mining - Catalogues

Open catalogue

Visualisation of information spaces http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/west-legal/gridl/index.converted.html

Data Management, Dissemination and Data Mining – Research Support

Data management supporthttp://www.soton.ac.uk/library/research/data/index.html

•Curation and management of research/institutional outputs

E-research support

•Virtual research environments

•Digital repositories

Publishing consultancy service•Open access, copyright, publishing

•Plagiarism

Social responsibility of libraries: free access to knowledge



Library as Learning Environment

Integrated learning environment

•adding writing, tutoring, and media centres to provide multiple academic support services in one convenient location

•Finding a balance that serves all clientele

Virtual space in the library expands

Pervasive presence of the library on Campus•marketing•Social/soft skills



Library as Learning Environment

Information Literacy Transliteracy

Transliteracy is the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks www.transliteracy.com

Globalisation•Language skills•Collaboration between libraries•Collaboration within the university/college/polytechnic/institution: embedded librarian

Transforming the user experience



Collection Development

Budget pressuresWe shall have to do more with lessefficiency

Preference for electronic accessIn some decades from now perhaps e-only will have replaced (almost) all print material

Patron driven collection development models•Pay per view•acquisition on multiple access

Licensing issues•course e-reserves•course management systems



… so what?!

Libraries will•provide a context of collaboration and communication•constantly embed services into their patrons‘ workflows•have an organisational structure that is fluent and flexible

Librarians will •be proficient in essential methods of knowledge management and share them•be creative, soft skilled, experimental and open•be lifelong learners

Online services will be as important as services in the library buildingThe libraries toolset for knowledge management will be •comprehensive •up to date

in 2020 ff



… and much more!

Thank you for your attention!
