Cost-cutting effort attempts to save four Hertfordshire County (England) libraries by relocating them to "modern new facilities" in village fire stations. "Richard Thake, cabinet member for community safety, said: “Fire stations and libraries are both at the heart of the communities they serve and it makes perfect sense to use spare space at our village fire stations to support other important local services. “This scheme will help to guarantee the long-term future of both our local fire stations and local libraries. It’s a great example of how public services can work together creatively to improve value for money.” -- spotted via Twitter by Ian Sutherland (@iansuth)

To speed up adoption/access to OERs librarians need to play a more active role & think about how we can integrate them into our collections/communities resources.

This program allows seniors at two nursing homes and an independent living facility to have access to museum collections without having to leave their homes or the local library. Using Skype as the communication vehicle it allows seniors to ask questions and explore their local cultural institutions. What a great model to be expanded to other cultural institutions and other library systems.

The SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries, German: "Semantic Web in Bibliotheken") is an annual conference focusing on Semantic Web and Linked Open Data (LOD) in the library world. It is held by turns in the Cologne region and Hamburg. The topics of talks and workshops at SWIB revolve around opening data, linking data and creating tools and software for LOD production scenarios. These areas of focus are supplemented by presentations of research projects in applied sciences, industry applications, and LOD activities in other areas. SWIB mainly targets IT staff, developers, librarians and researchers. |
