計畫你的未來 ,不一樣的圖書館 -IM即時通訊的創新與發展

• In this session we will cover:– Internal and external pressures on library and

information management services– How high quality research is crucial to

addressing the challenges– Examples of research which makes a

difference.

PART A:

The pressures on libraries and information services, and winds of change

• Technology has changed the way information is produced, stored and accessed dramatically

• There is no let up in that trend

• Computer technology• Internet • Mobile technologies• Augmented Reality, QR codes, the Internet of

Things are transforming the information delivery landscape

• Changing user attitudes, behaviour and needs

• Concepts such as Knowledge Management, the Knowledge Economy

• Information Literacy and Transliteracy (the ability to use the wide range of communication platforms we now have at our disposal)

Legislation and regulatory requirements

• Privacy and Data Protection Act legislation is driven by market forces and globalisation as much or more than by ideology

• New complexities brought about by technologies – not least Social Media

• Intellectual property is now a key resource – organisations need to comply with the law and know what assets they have in order to be able to exploit them

• Freedom of Information and the Right to Know• Information Management has a key, and

growing, role to play in the above• Regulators increasingly require Records

Manager and Archivist expertise as part of regulatory compliance

• Need to listen to customer needs and respond effectively and creatively

• The role of the trusted intermediary with key Information Management expertise is still very much needed, perhaps more than ever

• Awareness of that need among movers, shakers, budget holders and customers is relatively low

PART BResearch navigating us to new days and calmer waters

• Examples of Research 1:Knowledge Management – cultural, technological and practical issues

• Examples of Research 2:Mobile friendly library services

• Examples of research 3:Augmented Reality, QR Codes, The Internet of Things – new concepts in what libraries and museums are;

• they are part of the wider environment rather than being a stand-alone entity.

• Examples of research 4:The Regulatory Framework – Copyright, Privacy and Data Protection, Freedom of Information and the Right to Know

• Examples of research 5:Demonstrating value and promoting services
