Welcome

Conference Overview

Welcome to the 13th year of Internet Librarian International – the innovation and technology conference for information professionals.

Conference Keynotes

At Internet Librarian International we focus on the technologies needed to move forward in our organisations and careers, and on innovative implementations of these technologies. We look at technology trends, new models for the provision of library and information services, resource management, search and discovery, and developing innovative services to engage users. The programme for Internet Librarian International is designed to provide delegates with tools and inspiration so they can succeed in the rich information world confronting them.

How the Future Internet will Shape Libraries Klaus Tochtermann, Director, German National Library of Economics – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and Professor of Computer Media, University of Kiel (Germany) With a background in both computer science and digital libraries, Klaus Tochtermann shares his vision of the future of the internet and how it will affect information professionals and libraries. Changes in publishing strategies, information distribution models, and search behaviour present both risks and opportunities for internet librarians. At the German National Library of Economics, Tochtermann has introduced innovative use of new technologies, social media, and international professional networking, including EconBot and EconBiz. Exciting developments lie ahead for those in the information sphere.

We are now in a time best characterised as the ‘New Normal’. The new normal isn’t just about austere budgets or doing more with less – it’s also about new technologies. The new normal is having library patrons, users, customers or clients who know as much, or more, about technology as we do. It’s about partnerships and transparency, about new ways to develop and disseminate knowledge, about the increasing importance of communication skills, about opening up access to information, data, and knowledge.

Digital Innovations: Harnessing the Power of Technology and Social Media Kevin Anderson, Journalist (UK) Suw Charman-Anderson, Social software consultant and journalist (UK)

At Internet Librarian International a wide range of professionals share their experiences about information services in this new normal environment. What strategies have been successful? What have information professionals done to re-think and revitalise their libraries, information departments, and organisations?

As the BBC’s first online journalist and, later, digital research editor for The Guardian, Kevin Anderson focused on evaluating and adapting digital innovations. Now he's a freelance journalist and digital strategist. Suw CharmanAnderson is a social software consultant and advocate of blogs and wikis. Their opinions on data journalism, social media, semantic search, digital rights and press freedom will resonate with information professionals. The intersection of journalism and libraries is robust, with many shared philosophies and actions from which internet librarians can take heart.

Internet librarians – and we use ‘librarians’ in its broadest possible sense – are amazingly proficient at revolutionising their work environments, at understanding and using new technologies, at bringing creative thinking to problem solving, at creating order out of chaos, and at demonstrating their value.

Closing Panel

Whether you’re working in a library – public, academic, commercial or government – or if you’re outside the traditional library embedded in a different department, designing websites, evaluating content, or acting as an independent researcher, you must be ready to get outside your comfort zone and embrace the new normal. Internet Librarian International 2011 brings together an international group of speakers to inform and invigorate you. They emphasise the practical over the theoretical, talking about what actually works, not what might work.

The New Normal Needs a New You Michael Stephens, San Jose State University & Tame the Web (USA) Ulla de Stricker, de Stricker Associates (Canada) What are the skills that information professionals need to cultivate and acquire to meet the demands required by employers now and in the future? What changes do we need to make in our attitudes and attributes? New technologies, new ways to develop and disseminate knowledge, collaborative working patterns, altered expectations, open access and information security not only affect how we do our jobs but also where and why. This lively closing panel discussion pulls together what we’ve learned from the conference presentations and provides suggestions for future success.

Attend Internet Librarian International 2011 to learn from your fellow professionals, to be stimulated by new ideas and to take home with you the knowledge to succeed in this new normal environment.

Sponsor Showcase Internet Librarian International’s unique Sponsor Showcase provides a central networking hub for informal demos and conversations with the event’s sponsors – global information product and service providers. The Showcase is open throughout the conference on 27 and 28 October.

See you in London!

How the Future Internet will Shape Libraries

New Ways of Analysing to Prove Value

Mandy Phillips, Liverpool John Moores University (UK) Frank Cervone, Purdue University Calumet (USA)

Klaus Tochtermann, Director, German National Library of Economics – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and Professor of Computer Media, University of Kiel (Germany)

Library collections are going digital and librarians are increasingly using social media. One way to determine if these resources and activities benefit the organisation is through evidence-based analysis. Students at Liverpool John Moores University use blogs, wikis, Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare, as well as the library website. The challenge is to look at all avenues of the library's web presence and determine cultural shifts that need to be made. Frank Cervone will explain how librarians can use scientific methodologies for analysing social networks, to ascertain whether using social media is having the desired effect. From both libraries, lessons can be learned that affect other institutions' web presence and convey the value of the library.

With a background in both computer science and digital libraries, Klaus Tochtermann shares his vision of the future of the internet and how it will affect information professionals and libraries. Changes in publishing strategies, information distribution models, and search behaviour present both risks and opportunities for internet librarians. At the German National Library of Economics, Tochtermann has introduced innovative use of new technologies, social media, and international professional networking, including EconBot and EconBiz. Exciting developments lie ahead for those in the information sphere.

Innovations in Usage Analysis

Coffee break and Sponsor Showcase opens

A study at the University of Huddersfield found a strong correlation between library use and final grades. The latest findings from the JISC-funded Library Impact Data Project extends the research across eight campuses. Charnock and Land discuss the SALT Project (Surfacing the Academic Long Tail) which mines circulation data to uncover the value of under-used materials for research. At a time when the value of libraries, both academic and public, is being questioned, proof of a positive link between library usage and educational attainment could provide libraries with a strong argument to demonstrate their continued worth to educational institutions and to wider society.

Three libraries from around the world are working on exciting projects related to recent breakthroughs in new technologies. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology is looking at the practical creation and hosting of linked data, with particular interest in using semantic technologies to leverage content across multiple sites and media; this has led to changes in technology and the library organisation. The University of California, Berkeley is studying recent breakthroughs in data retrieval using a new form of analytical software widely known as “meaning based computing”. MBC analyses language patterns in ways that mimic human reasoning. A meta-union catalogue project in Belgium has adopted web 2.0 functionalities, customisation options and content enhancement from social networks. Learn about the implications of these new technologies for your workplace.

Andrew Woolfson, Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP (UK) Tony Hirst, The Open University (UK) In the new normal world, experimentation and nontraditional technology implementation are one way to stay ahead of the game. Andrew Woolfson explains how law firm RPC have developed ‘Edge’, a new social platform designed to understand the way people work, married to the attributes of social media within the unique demands of a legal environment and the broader business context. Tony Hirst reveals how non-developers can bypass the IT department and mash up their own web apps, from rich interactive visualisations to powerful, realtime current awareness monitoring systems.

Not So Secret Weapons – Advocacy and Influence

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development put forward a business case for developing an extranet for its legal department and is now developing a system to share information with external law firms and the legal reform community. This case study shares successes and failures that the project has encountered. The Wellcome Digital Library engages a global audience with meaningful content and a vibrant web presence. Content strategy for its new website involved auditing the current content, identifying gaps and areas of improvement, measuring success through user research and analysis, and developing a sustainable plan to create engaging new content.

B101

Gary Green, Voices for the Library (UK) Dean Frey, Red Deer Public Library (Canada) In mid-2010 Twitter brought together a group of information professionals from across the UK who were concerned about the future of public libraries. These virtual discussions on Twitter led to the formation of the national campaign Voices for the Library. Within two weeks, a website and various online social networking presences had been set up for the campaign and strong support from inside and outside the profession was quickly established. In Canada, The Red Deer Public Library is the licensee and a key partner in planning for the first TEDxRedDeer conference. This gives libraries an opportunity to take a leadership role in their community, connecting with decision makers, influencers and library customers in a new way. Find out how the event was planned, what went wrong, what went right and how others can learn from the Red Deer experience.

How can information professionals confronted with a myriad of resources make correct choices and maintain levels of service – particularly with less money to spend? Management options, using the health sector in Australia as an example, include looking at the types of resources available and evaluating them in light of budgets, patron needs, and usage patterns. What about an organisation with no clearly defined information management policy that is heavily geared towards creating content? The SQA is rolling out an enterprise content management system and pushing the ideas of social software and shared ways of working. As a government body that conducts and sponsors research, Dstl is piloting different methods for eliciting knowledge to make the most of the knowledge it generates and curates. This means encouraging an institutional cultural change from “need to know” to “need to share”.

Linda Vidlund and Cecilia Petersson, Uppsala University Library (Sweden) Steven Buchanan and David McMenemy, University of Strathclyde (UK) How can digital materials be made more visible in the physical library and how can the physical library become both a social and a learning space? Uppsala University Library is experimenting with QR codes, TV monitors, photo frames and skills. Although the trend is toward digital collections, print books are still in demand. As digital libraries evolve from content-centric systems to person-centric systems, Buchanan and McMenemy highlight how emergent public library collaboration in the UK offers the opportunity to enhance and extend services.

The e-Book Revolution in Libraries

The London Libraries Consortium brings economies of scale and benefits to more than two million library users. It is much more than a procurement vehicle, and works across geographical borders and political boundaries to meet the needs of its diverse communities. This session explains how technology underpins the drive for growth, and how the consortium model can be used to gain a voice for library services with politicians and policy makers. Library consortia in the US are experiencing a need to reaffirm their relevance, both because of budget and new ways of acquiring and managing information. The transformation of a consortium in Missouri involved redefining itself to help libraries remain focused on their primary mission.

Kate Worlock, Outsell (UK) Thomas Brevik, Lindaas Public Library (Norway) e-Books and e-publishing of all kinds continue to evolve. Kate Worlock of industry analyst firm Outsell takes a look at some of the publishing trends underlying the eBook revolution, and explores the impact on libraries and information services.

Beyond Digital Collections

Alison McNab, DeMontfort University (UK) Trevor Dawes and Jennifer Baxmeyer, Princeton University (USA)

In the UK the government is radically changing the way teaching is funded. This has serious implications for JISC Collections, which is reviewing its banding scheme. Hugh Look presents the first comprehensive review of the scheme and explains its effects on libraries. Leeds University is being asked to manage all kinds of object types, including open access publications, video, data sets, images and more. Success requires rethinking services and workflow while engaging with faculty. Open access is now well established in academic libraries. Changes in the publishing industry have led to experimentation with different models, with thousands of journals now offering some form of open access publishing option. A study carried out by Nottingham’s Centre for Research Communications investigated academics’ beliefs and behaviours and suggests ways to encourage open access publishing.

There are significant promotional and support issues for libraries offering mobile applications. Alison McNab explores the challenges of reference management software delivered via web and mobile applications that can be used by researchers on the move. Princeton University library set up a project to purchase several new electronic devices for library staff to experiment with in preparation for the launch of a library programme to circulate electronic devices (Kindles, Nooks, iPads, and ARCHOS tablets) to its patrons. Trevor Dawes and Jennifer Baxmeyer provide insight and practical information on how participants can develop a similar programme in their own organisations.

Ceri Hughes, KPMG (UK) Esben Fjord, Gladsaxe Bibliotekerne (Denmark)

Drinks Reception

KPMG is a global business with over 130,000 employees many of whom need access to mobile knowledge and information services. As Director – Global Knowledge Business Leader, Ceri Hughes understands what it takes to keep a dispersed workforce informed. Gladsaxe Public Libraries are experimenting with how iPad tablets can be used in the library. The project did not set out to develop apps or content, but rather to expose and collect readily available apps that have already been developed and take them into an everyday library context, as well as to find solutions to practical matters like security and presentation. Discover the lessons learned and get practical advice on how you could start your own initiatives.

All conference delegates and speakers are invited to a Drinks Reception from 17.00 – 18.00 in the Sponsor Showcase, hosted by Information Today.

Keynote

Web Scale Discovery: Reaching Maturity?

Digital Innovations: Harnessing the Power of Technology and Social Media

Athena Hoeppner, University of Central Florida (USA) Web Scale Discovery (WSD) is taking the library world by storm. While all the systems offer a Google-like search across catalogues and subscription content, WSD vendors each have their own philosophies, technologies, content agreements and related services, not to mention new concepts and terminologies. Athena Hoeppner explains WSD concepts and terminology and shares the results from interviews with the major WSD vendors.

Kevin Anderson, Journalist (UK) Suw Charman-Anderson, Social software consultant and journalist (UK)

As the BBC’s first online journalist outside of the UK and, later, digital research editor for The Guardian, Kevin Anderson focused on evaluating and implementing digital innovations. Now he’s a freelance journalist and digital strategist. He talks about how new social and semantic technologies are helping news organisations reveal the richness of their journalism to audiences and looks at how news organisations are developing new ways for audiences to add metadata to content and gather data for stories.

Phil’s Latest Discoveries

Phil Bradley's blog, bolstered by his observations on Twitter and Facebook, is read around the world by information professionals trying to keep up with the latest in search engines, search technology and useful websites. In this session, he shares his latest finds and gives his opinion on their value to information professionals. Why sit at home and read the blog when you can see Phil in person and benefit from his insights?

14.45 – 15.30

Searching without Google

Having problems with Google? Fed up with it ignoring your search terms and giving you something completely different? Or confused by irrelevant tweets from complete strangers in your results list? Personalisation, localisation, social networks and semantic search are all being used by Google in an attempt to improve relevance but it can go horribly wrong. It is time to rethink your strategy and look at other search engines and specialist tools that are out there. This session looks briefly at how Google works and explores the effect this is having on relevance and accuracy.

Making Connections

Phil Bradley, Internet Consultant (UK)

Suw Charman-Anderson, a social technologist and writer looks at crowdsourcing, where the public is asked to help transcribe records or add metadata. This not only adds immense value to digital collections, it can also enhance accessibility and provide new data for analysis. Crowdsourcing not only helps institutions tackle huge tasks inappropriate for computational solutions, it also engages and educates the public and provide opportunities to grow online communities of interest.

The New Normal Needs a New You

Andy Powell, Eduserv (UK) Bethan Ruddock, Mimas, University of Manchester (UK)

Michael Stephens, San Jose State University & Tame the Web (USA) Ulla de Stricker, de Stricker Associates (Canada)

‘Openness’ and ‘linkedness’ can provide a powerful platform for social interaction, which in turn provides opportunities for research and learning. Andy Powell shares his view of new ways of thinking about the provision of digital library services. Bethan Ruddock will describe the LOCAH project, a JISC-funded project to open up Copac and Archives Hub data as Linked Data which aims to put archival and bibliographic data at the heart of the linked Data Web, making new links between diverse content sources, enabling the free and flexible exploration of data and enabling researchers to make new connections between subjects, people, organisations and places.

What are the skills that information professionals need to cultivate and acquire to meet the demands required by employers now and in the future? What changes do we need to make in our attitudes and attributes? New technologies, new ways to develop and disseminate knowledge, collaborative working patterns, altered expectations, open access and information security not only affect how we do our jobs but also where and why. This lively closing panel discussion pulls together the learnings gleaned from conference presentations and provides suggestions for future success.

Knowing Your Library Users

Cathrine Linn Fjeldstad, Gjøvik University College (Norway) Donna Saxby, International School of Amsterdam (The Netherlands)

New Users, New Audiences, New Behaviours 10.30 – 11.15

Library Users in Turbulent Times

For planning purposes, librarians need to understand the behaviours of those who physically enter the library, whether it’s a public library or an academic one. Cathrine Linn Fjeldstad explains how a ‘count the traffic’ method will help show a library’s value. Small school libraries know their audience very well and enjoy freedom and flexibility. Innovative uses of technologies, such as QR codes, social bookmarking, embedded widgets and, even, Batgirl’s adventures, help students looking for information and something good to read.

B201

Kayo Chang, Bahrain Polytechnic (Bahrain) Fed-a Kulenovi´c, Peace Support Operations Training Center (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Mohamed Mekawy, Madinet Nasr for Housing and Development (Egypt) Upheavals in Bahrain have forced the Bahrain Polytechnic’s Library Learning Center to change how it delivers information. Librarians can learn from the youth of Bahrain, particularly their use of social media to spread information more widely. Bosnia and Herzegovina provides insights into the role of libraries in post-conflict societies. How can libraries in Egypt work to increase information literacy and bridge the information gap between younger and older generations? This panel discussion tracks the vital role that libraries can play within society as a whole.

Driving Collaboration with Repositories

B204

Stephen Prince, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Natural Environment Research Council (UK) Claire Bundy, BioMed Central (UK) Howard Stansbury, Unlimited Priorities (UK) Themes of collaboration, digitisation and technological innovation permeate the information world. NERC’s repository went live in 2007 and has undergone further development to increase partnership working, improve efficiency and develop new business processes. BioMed Central's observations about open repositories describe how a repository can become an in-depth research collaboration tool. Howard Stansbury explains how information repositories of all kinds are being challenged to adapt to a changing paradigm in facilities, resources and services.

B202

Joanna Ptolomey, Ptolomey Information Services (UK) A. Joyce Gozo, UNISA (South Africa) András Kardos, library.me.uk (Hungary) László Ladi and Péter Király National Library of Hungary (Hungary) Three information services in three different countries reveal how they are innovating to better serve their users. When people become ill they need information – not just health information, but also social care, finance, housing, and citizen rights. Their quest could take them to many different agencies, each with a unique, closed information repository system. A better way to share information may lie in the community itself. Joanna Ptolomey explores how users can effectively curate and moderate content for themselves. The University of South Africa (UNISA) harnesses web 2.0 technologies to provide information resources and services to students in a distance education environment. The central library portal of Hungary aims to bring librarians and readers closer in a cooperative environment. Current goals include deep integration with social networking sites like Facebook, going way beyond a simple “Like” button, and a Google map-based search engine for locally relevant books.

TRACK C

Developing Ourselves Julio dos Anjos, INCITE (Portugal) Jo Alcock, Birmingham City University (UK)

Teaching Others, Developing Ourselves 10.30 – 11.15

Teaching Others

In Portugal, an analysis of the evolution of 23 Things tries to answer the question, ”Is the new normal 2.0 or 1.5?“ Come and hear the answer. Alcock wonders if it’s bad to be a twit and explores how you can use microblogging and social software to Get Things Done. This philosophy, articulated by David Allen in 2001, works on the principle that to progress toward our goals we must effectively manage incoming information. Alcock, a self-confessed productivity tool geek, shares her experiences with a variety of different tools and demonstrates how to integrate the best of these tools into the research librarian workflow.

C201

Michael Stephens, San Jose State University & Tame the Web (USA) Expanding on his research on the effect of Learning 2.0 programmes in Australian libraries, initially done when he was the 2009 CAVAL Visiting Scholar, Michael Stephens, whose background is in public libraries, presents an overview of emerging literacies related to digital media, information exchange and education. The phrase "information literacy" has expanded well beyond its original meaning and now encompasses a wide range of media with which information professionals should be familiar and able to explain and teach to others.

Teaching Information Skills

C203

Jenny Evans and Ruth Harrison, Imperial College London (UK) Andy Tattersall, ScHARR – University of Sheffield (UK) Karen Marie Øvern, Gjøvik University College (Norway)

To be effective, information professionals must keep up with their own professional development. New opportunities can be found in social media, virtual learning environments, embedded librarianship, and delivering mobile access. These new roles require multiple skills and adjusting to the new environment can be a challenge. The speakers in this session help you identify which skills to widen and develop to make the most of the new roles and opportunities that are available.

The Learning 2.0 programme at Imperial College, based on Helene Blowers’ 23 Things idea, is now moving ahead to Research 2.0. The programme has been adapted to best meet the needs of PhD students. Engaging with the web 2.0 community has been a key objective. At ScHARR, Bite Size technology sessions, lasting only 20 minutes, have effectively helped staff and students learn something new about technology. In Norway, new methods of performing and assessing information literacy courses suggest that embedding the courses makes learning meaningful.
