Abstract

Die Universitätsbibliothek Bielefeld hat vom 3. bis 5. Februar fast 400 Informationsexperten aus 30 Ländern zur 9. Internationalen Bielefeld Konferenz willkommen geheißen. »Up-grading the eLibrary: Enhanced Information Services Driven by Technology and Economics« lautete das Thema der diesjährigen Konferenz. Im Mittelpunkt stand das Thema »eLibrary«. Geänderte Modelle wissenschaftlicher Zusammenarbeit, neue Technologien, die Anforderungen der Nutzer, aber auch ökonomische Entwicklungen erfordern eine Weiterentwicklung der »electronic library« zur »enhanced library«. Diese Entwicklung birgt neue Herausforderungen, eröffnet aber auch neue Möglichkeiten für eine Optimierung wissenschaftlicher Informationsdienste.

Abstract

This volume is the first book coherently summarizing the current issues in digital libraries research, design and management. It presents, in a homogeneous way, thoroughly revised versions of 15 papers accepted for the First International Workshop on Digital Libraries, DL '94, held at Rutgers University in May 1994; in addition there are two introductory chapters provided by the volume editors, as well as a comprehensive bibliography listing 262 entries. Besides introductory aspects, the topics addressed are administration and management, information retrieval and hypertext, classification and indexing, and prototypes and applications. The volume is intended for researchers and design professionals in the field, as well as for experts from libraries administration and scientific publishing.

This in turn will accelerate the already widening economic inequality around the world. The internet and the platforms which it makes possible allow very small groups of individuals to make enormous profits while employing very few people. This is inevitable, it is progress, but it is also socially destructive. We need to put this alongside the financial crash, which brought home to people that a very few individuals working in the financial sector can accrue huge rewards and that the rest of us underwrite that success and pick up the bill when their greed leads us astray. So taken together we are living in a world of widening, not diminishing, financial inequality, in which many people can see not just their standard of living, but their ability to earn a living at all, disappearing. It is no wonder then that they are searching for a new deal, which Trump and Brexit might have appeared to represent. It is also the case that another unintended consequence of the global spread of the internet and social media is that the stark nature of these inequalities are far more apparent than they have been in the past. For me, the ability to use technology to communicate has been a liberating and positive experience. Without it, I would not have been able to continue working these many years past. But it also means that the lives of the richest people in the most prosperous parts of the world are agonisingly visible to anyone, however poor and who has access to a phone. And since there are now more people with a telephone than access to clean water in Sub-Saharan Africa, this will shortly mean nearly everyone on our increasingly crowded planet will not be able to escape the inequality.
The consequences of this are plain to see; the rural poor flock to cities, to shanty towns, driven by hope. And then often, finding that the Instagram nirvana is not available there, they seek it overseas, joining the ever greater numbers of economic migrants in search of a better life. These migrants in turn place new demands on the infrastructures and economies of the countries in which they arrive, undermining tolerance and further fuelling political populism. For me, the really concerning aspect of this, is that now, more than at any time in our history, our species needs to work together. We face awesome environmental challenges. Climate change, food production, overpopulation, the decimation of other species, epidemic disease, acidification of the oceans. Together, they are a reminder that we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity. We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it. Perhaps in a few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amidst the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it. To do that, we need to break down not build up barriers within and between nations. If we are to stand a chance of doing that, the world's leaders need to acknowledge that they have failed and are failing the many. With resources increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, we are going to have to learn to share far more than at present. With not only jobs but entire industries disappearing, we must help people to re-train for a new world and support them financially while they do so. If communities and economies cannot cope with current levels of migration, we must do more to encourage global development, as that is the only way that the migratory millions will be persuaded to seek their future at home. We can do this, I am an enormous optimist for my species, but it will require the elites, from London to Harvard, from Cambridge to Hollywood, to learn the lessons of the past month. To learn above all a measure of humility."

Abstract

Attempts to synthesize the findings of American writers of disparate viewpoints on the social phenomena of virtual environments. Travel in virtual communities is always accompanied by tension between the real and the virtual. By observing user behaviour, the authors under review are attempting to discover what happens on networks; how a community can form from a database; how rules, conventions and new cultures are formed; and the effects of virtual environments on personality

Abstract

The current and future applications and implications of the Internet within and for libraries are indicated. Aspects of the virtual library are considered, followed by the impact of the Internet on aspects of library holdings. Features of online access, including search engine performance, are noted and collection development effects pointed out. Security issues, including pornography and copyright are described, and finally future implications of the Internet for libraries, through home versus library use and discussion groups, and influences on the Internet of library science are discussed.

Abstract

The author takes on the assertion posed in recent educational articles that technology is driving down book circulation and contributing to the decline of reading-center learning. In his interview with Richard Cochran, Dean of the Ferris State University Library for Information, Technology, and Education, the two discuss the importance of incorporating technology to support all types of learning, and using faculty buy-in to insure that as many media as possible are integrated into the final building design.

The more dehumanization caused by technology in libraries, the more critical become the presence of librarians to provide a gracious human component as they fulfil their resposibility for teaching library concepts and for easing the transition from card catalogues to online catalogues and from printed periodical indexes to CD-ROMs

Abstract

The form in which knowledge is described and encapsulated has a major impact on the design of libraries and the functions performed within them. New technology and the logocentric, practicentric and democentric elements of the information infrastructure have created profound changes compelling the flexible design of libraries. The book of the 17th century, television in the 20th century, and perhaps the Internet in the 21st century, open the door to self education with little economic discrimination. New roles for libraries are emerging that require flexibility in building design for moving collections, services, functions, and equipment; restructuring staff organizations, introducing new services associated with new technology; eliminating unnecessary or unaffordable services; and housing other institutional departments within the structure of the 'new' library

Abstract

In the future, frontier research in many fields will increasingly require the collaboration of globally distributed groups of researchers needing access to distributed computing, data resources and support for remote access to expensive, multi-national specialized facilities such as telescopes and accelerators or specialist data archives. There is also a general belief that an important road to innovation will be provided by multi-disciplinary and collaborative research - from bio-informatics and earth systems science to social science and archaeology. There will also be an explosion in the amount of research data collected in the next decade - 100's of Terabytes will be common in many fields. These future research requirements constitute the 'eResearch' agenda. Powerful software services will be widely deployed on top of the academic research networks to form the necessary 'Cyberinfrastructure' to provide a collaborative research environment for the global academic community. The difficulties in combining data and information from distributed sources, the multi-disciplinary nature of research and collaboration, and the need to move to present researchers with tooling that enable them to express what they want to do rather than how to do it highlight the need for an ecosystem of Semantic Computing technologies. Such technologies will further facilitate information sharing and discovery, will enable reasoning over information, and will allow us to start thinking about knowledge and how it can be handled by computers. This talk will review the elements of this vision and explain the need for semantic-oriented computing by exploring eResearch projects that have successfully applied relevant technologies. It will also suggest that a software + service model with scientific services delivered from the cloud will become an increasingly accepted model for research.

Abstract

References to virtual libraries, virtual technology, virtual reality and the Information Superhighway fill technology and library journals, conference programmes, and the popular press. Discusses various definitions of the virtual library and observes that what has so far taken place in academic libraries is merely modernization and automation. To move beyond this stage to a transformation of the academic library and its services new strategies are required, including a reengineering of organizational structures and processes. But ransformation cannot occur in isolation and collaboration and cooperation must reach beyond individual departments, libraries, and campuses, and include commercial as well as academic interests. Suggests how a transformed academic library of the future might function in terms of the physical library; the library's services; organizational structure and personnel; and library networks. 4 potential network models are examined
