Moving Library Cooperation to Web Scale

• Moving Library Cooperation to Web Scale: Denver Public Library  [PDF, 3 slide presentations]
  

  Everyone seems to be throwing around phrases like, "in the cloud," or "paradigm shifts of Web-scale proportion." But do you have the knowledge to formulate how you will elevate your library's critical services—including acquisition, circulation and license management—to the cooperative cloud? To help you get the knowledge you need, OCLC and LYRASIS partnered to present Moving Library Cooperation to Web Scale. This event took place on May 18 at the Denver Public Library. Participants discovered how Web scale is revitalizing traditional services through shared workflows, activities and data.

• The future is web-scale  [PDF, 52 slides]
  Many business environments today provide Web-based management applications that host software and data ‘in the cloud’. Does it make sense for libraries to transfer their management functions and data to the Web? What are the advantages of ‘Web-scale’ to a management and end-user environment? What cooperation opportunities can be created between libraries? And does such a technology shift allow libraries to provide better services to their communities? Norbert Weinberger, Managing Director, OCLC Germany gives an overview of developments and thoughts on cloud computing for libraries, and what benefits libraries can expect to receive from this new generation of library management services.
• Industry Symposium: Innovation and Mobile in Libraries  [PDF, 2 slide presentations]
  Historically, disruptions to the library industry have come from both inside and outside the sphere of the profession. No matter where changes originate, however, libraries must increase the pace at which they innovate to meet the ever accelerating demands of the public. Mike Teets discussed library user demographics and how commercial and consumer technology races have become a primary driver for library technologies. He also addressed the challenges and potential that mobile technologies bring to the table. Jay Jordan joined Mike to put OCLC's strategy and innovation efforts into perspective relative to the overall library landscape.

ALA Annual 2008

• The Mashed-Up Library (OCLC Symposium) [Streaming video: 02:08:52]
  Developing new library services can now mean mixing data and functionality from several sources into “mash-ups” to provide a unique and powerful user experience. Some librarians have discovered how to use Web applications to adapt or create new services. Others are investigating this trend and looking for further guidance. Still others have found creative ways to deliver traditional programs to new populations.

  Join our keynote speaker, Michael Schrage, author of Shared Minds—The New Technologies of Collaboration and columnist for CIO and MIT's Technology Review, and our panel of three librarians who have developed their own mash-ups.
