In den letzten Jahren haben sich die Anforderungen an akademische Such- und Discovery-Systeme erhöht. Neben dem stark steigenden Wachstum an Publikationen werden im Zeitalter von Open Science auch neue Output-Typen wie Datensätze, Software und Bilder publiziert. Es geht somit nicht nur um die Frage der Bewältigung der Menge an Publikationen, sondern auch um den Umgang mit der Vielfalt der Output-Typen [1].
Dies bringt auch Herausforderungen für bibliothekarische Suchsysteme mit sich. Klassische, listenbasierte System alleine können beispielsweise keinen adäquaten Überblick über die 800.0000 zum Coronavirus publizierten Texte und deren verknüpften Daten geben. Alternative Technologien wie Empfehlungssysteme, semantische Suche und Visualisierungen können hier Abhilfe bieten und erfreuen sich immer größerer Beliebtheit bei Forschenden und Studierenden [2].
Für Bibliotheken stellt sich nun die Frage, wie sie diese neuen Ansätze in ihre Suchsysteme einbinden können. In diesem Vortrag wollen wir ein Modell für die Einbindung anhand der Integration des visuellen Discovery-Systems Open Knowledge Maps in die bibliothekarischen Infrastrukturen der TU Wien und der Universität Wien (AUSSDA) vorstellen.
Bei Open Knowledge Maps kommen Wissenslandkarten (Knowledge Maps) zum Einsatz. Wissenslandkarten bieten einen Überblick über einen Suchbegriff, indem sie die Hauptbereiche und die zu den einzelnen Bereichen gehörenden Dokumente auf einen Blick anzeigen. Auf der Webseite des Vereins (https://openknowledgemaps.org) können Nutzer*innen eine Wissenslandkarte für beliebige Suchbegriffe erstellen. Mittels einer speziellen Technologie-Schiene, den sogenannten Custom Services, können Institutionen nun ihre Discovery-Angebote um visuellen Suchkomponenten von Open Knowledge Maps erweitern. Diese werden wahlweise als Cloud-Komponenten eingebunden oder können als Open Source-Software am eigenen Server installiert werden.
Custom Services-Komponenten werden in Abstimmung mit der Community entwickelt und sind unter anderem bei der ETH Zürich (https://eth.swisscovery.slsp.ch/) und der EOSC-Plattform GoTriple (https://gotriple.eu) integriert. In Österreich sind die ersten beiden Anwendungsfälle an der TU Wien und an der Universität Wien entstanden.
An der TU Wien wurde Open Knowledge Maps in den Bibliothekskatalog “Catalog PLUS” (https://catalogplus.tuwien.at/) als erweitertes Suchangebot integriert. Die Suchkriterien, die im CatalogPlus erstellt bzw. gefiltert werden, steuern die Suchmaschine PRIMO an, parallel gibt es die Möglichkeit, mit den gleichen Argumenten Open Knowledge Maps über die Custom Services als externe Ressource abzufragen. Integriert wurden dabei die Darstellungsformen “Knowledge Map”, eine Clusterung nach ähnlichen Begrifflichkeiten, und “Streamgraph”, welche einen Überblick über die zeitliche Entwicklung von Themen gibt. In einem nächsten Schritt wird die TU Wien Bibliothek die Nutzung der Custom Services als thematischen Use Case zum Forschungsoutput in Bezug auf die UN SDG (https://sdgs.un.org/goals) weiter vorantreiben.
An der Universität Wien wurde Open Knowledge Maps im Rahmen eines Pilotprojekts in das Datenarchiv von AUSSDA - The Austrian Social Science Data Archive eingebunden (https://aussda.at/ueber-aussda/projekte/open-knowledge-maps/). Es zeigte sich, dass sich auch die vielfältigen Themen von Forschungsdaten visuell darstellen lassen, um einen Überblick zum Datenbestand zu erhalten. Die Darstellung bietet einen Themenüberblick mit einfachen und intuitiven Interaktionsmöglichkeiten zum Hineinzoomen und Navigieren zu einzelnen Studien.
Die Dienste von Open Knowledge Maps werden kostenlos und als offene Infrastruktur bereitgestellt. Um die Infrastruktur zu finanzieren und aufrechtzuerhalten, betreibt der Verein ein Crowdsourcing-Modell mit Fördermitgliedern. Fördermitglieder werden Teil der Governance der Organisation und sind direkt in Entscheidungsprozesse um die technische Roadmap eingebunden.

In the research data life cycle, scientific repositories support scientists in publishing and validating datasets. The ecosystem of scientific data repositories (i.e. listed via re3data.org) consists of a large variety of available categories and types, including discipline specific, interdisciplinary and institutional ones, and mixtures thereof. With this heterogeneity comes large variation in terms of data and metadata standards, APIs, file formats, licenses, archival- and publication guidelines, terms of re-use, and others. This is also a reason why a search across multiple repositories is a time consuming task to be carried out by researchers who want to re-use data, but are unsure where to look for it.
The Leibniz Data Manager (LDM), accessible at https://service.tib.eu/ldmservice/ increases the availability and re-use of scientific digital objects and their metadata with the following features:
To search and explore research data across various repositoriesTo preview data in different interfaces, e.g. via tables, via audio-visual material like AutoCAD files or 2D and 3D data, or via live programming code (Jupyter Notebook(s)).To empower the semantic interoperability of metadata by mapping harvested metadata to DCAT format and providing RDF serializations.Allows the installation of customized and local LDM distributions with open source code through distribution in a docker container.In sum, LDM offers a simple, small-scale and open software distribution, which can connect digital repositories in a way such that datasets and other scientific objects will stay in their respective repositories, with LDM providing an integrated view of the data sets archived by these repositories. Scientists can understand the information contained in digital objects, strengthening, thus, scientific transparency by following the FAIR principles.
Libraries have a track record of developing and contributing open source software to deliver solutions where propriety software may have come to a standstill. From solutions for institutional deposits to data crosswalks, analytics and indeed the Library Services Platform, open-source software delivers important business value to libraries. How then can libraries take advantage of open source initiatives, contribute to continued innovation and meet evolving needs? And how can open source software further address the need for improved interoperability with proprietary solutions to which the library may subscribe? In this presentation, the presenter will discuss the approach and status of FOLIO, the open source library services platform supported by service providers and libraries alike. The presenter will thereby discuss aspects of “open” including the need for interoperable applications within the library’s technology infrastructure. And the presenter will look at a variety of solutions that interoperate with FOLIO including the EBSCO suite of services and beyond.
Academic Libraries in the Czech Republic: Co-Operation to Support Teaching, Learning and Research
(2022)
Academic libraries support the mission, goals, and strategic plans of their universities. Learning, teaching, research, and the third role of the university are all areas where libraries provide spaces, collections, services, and expertise of individual librarians. Join us for the story of the efforts of academic libraries in the Czech Republic. The presentation will focus on critical activities that Czech academic libraries develop. They are providing online information resources, developing information literacy programmes, and supporting open science. That is to mention just a few priorities in strategic documents of academic libraries in the Czech Republic. Co-operation between individual academic libraries is a crucial aspect of success in those efforts. Association of Libraries of Czech Universities (ALCU) was established in 2002 to support academic libraries and academic librarians and represent this group of libraries in discussions and negotiations on various platforms. The mission and priorities of ALCU will be mentioned. The presentation will also highlight ALCU working groups, current activities, and plans for the coming years. The crucial aspect of each library is the team of librarians, their expertise, and their development. Getting inspiration from abroad and developing its educational programmes for librarians and library managers is one of ALCU´s priorities. Various formats of professional development are taking place each year. The presentation will provide details on the most successful events and the feedback from participants.
Czech libraries have been digitizing historical and modern library collections since the mid-1990s. Approximately 4 million pages are digitized every single year. In 2017 the amendment to the Copyright Act of Czech republic was approved that allowed the National Library of the Czech Republic to conclude license agreements valid for all Czech libraries to publish so called works unavailable on the market on the internet. Subsequently in 2019, a five-year license agreement was concluded to guarantee free access to the books published in the Czech Republic by the end of 2007 and periodicals published by 2010. The payment of for this access licenses is paid from the state budget through the National Library of the Czech Republic, which allows to use these services to all libraries and their registered users to read the displayed documents. During the COVID pandemic situation, when libraries and bookstores were closed, even the full opening of the digital libraries was agreed including the latest publications. The service was freely available to the university students, teachers and researchers. Publishers received adequate financial compensation from the state budget to support such an important service. This paper is aimed to introduce the experience with all the process aspects, especially contractual security and the negotiations with collective copyright holders and publishers. The technical solutions is running on the basis of the Kramerius system, which is developed in the close cooperation of the Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the National Library of the Czech Republic and the Moravian Regional Library.
Libraries as intensively used learning places face special challenges these days. To support students holistically in their learning and work, concepts are needed that combine the library's traditional core competencies with innovative services. Because learning is an individual process, very different and sometimes contradictory expectations and needs of users must be recognized and taken into account when developing a learning space. Libraries are evolving into places of residence. They are learning places and information centers and offer space for work individually and in groups. Customers' needs are different: they want to be "alone but not alone" and want an "atmosphere that promotes concentration, encouragement, contagion", in which it is possible to "stimulate space and concentrated separation" at the same time. In Macedonia, too, libraries are increasingly oriented towards the international development of libraries as "teaching libraries", which transfer information and media skills far beyond conventional user training. The role of the library will increasingly be that of the so-called "third place", which, in addition to our home ("first place") and workplace ("second place"), will be of greater importance for the functioning of a society. "Third places" offer everyone the opportunity to spend time with others in an unrelated way, for no apparent or obvious reason. Libraries are destined for this. The project Young St. Clement's University in NUL"St.Clement Ohridski" - Skopje, is an example of developing certain skills among users, using traditional sources, go beyond the everyday, stimulate their creativity and expand opportunities in many areas of living. Keywords: place to study, teaching library, free space, Young St. Clement's University
Libraries and their communities - a symbiosis worth discussing. How libraries create communities, how they work with and for their communities, and what tools they use for collaboration will be discussed in this panel discussion with participants from the two partner countries, the Netherlands (2019-2022) and the Czech Republic (2022-2025). The sensitive interdependence also raises questions about the role and task of libraries and its staff in today's civil society.
In this hands-on lab the attendees will gain insight in the types of misinformation an internet user can come across. Ranging from on-line bullying to the algorithms with which social platforms steer their users into the arms of advertisers, influencers of a questionable kind or political agitators; and from fake news to complete deep fake, AI-generated ‘human’ beings. Jointly we will explore the various forms online, and experience how they work and manifest themselves. We will discuss the role of (public) libraries in this context. Is it enough for libraries to make their clients aware of misinformation and manipulative influencing? What is the effect it can have on their personal lives but also on the society at large? Or should the libraries take a much more activist stance and label or even ban information and algorithms that cannot be completely trusted? This workshop does not only deal with pure misinformation but also with the potential undertow of misinformation. Into which you can easily be lured and then become part of a secluded bubble. On exemplary topics the participants will find out the quantity of misinforming sources and the demarcation of trusted information resource. Take-aways from this workshop: Overview of recent developments in misinformation and counter-initiatives Awareness of the different levels at which libraries can play a role and concrete examples of what is already being done Insight in the role of AI in this
In the multinational and interconnected world of the 21st century, many efforts to diversify or be more inclusive fall flat in achieving their goals. Social media managers post token diversity statements, change their flags to rainbows during Pride, or publish copied and pasted statements about support and solidarity in crises and tragedies. But the world’s events are showing more and more that these gestures and practices are not enough. This workshop will cover the various aspects of culture, visible and subtle, that affect how we and our target audiences see the world. Participants in this workshop will work as a whole and in groups of no more than five participants to examine texts about the perspectives of people of color and people of different minorities from around the world. They will participate in role-playing activities to increase empathy and awareness, and discussions about the challenges of reaching diverse populations. Case studies of multicultural challenges in workplaces and educational institutions will be taken from all over the world and analyzed in discussion groups. The discussion groups will work together to come up with action plans to make their own workplaces more acceptable and embraceable to diverse populations. These applications are relevant for interpersonal interactions within staff and patrons alike. Activities and discussions will be taken from the following sources, among others: Bridges Out Of Poverty: Strategies for Professionals and Communities (Payne, DeVol, and Smith, 2001) Palaces for the People: How Social Infrascructure Can Help Fight Inequality, Polarization, and the Decline of Civic Life (Klinenberg, 2018) Courageous Conversations about Race (Singleton and Linton, 2006) A Framework for Understanding Poverty (Payne, 1996)
The historical facts and the methods and strategies on how threatened book collections
can be protected. What are the traumas from the past? What can we learn from these
for the future? How can libraries strengthen their position? How can they protect their
collections? In addition, the conference also looked ahead to also explore the digital
challenge for libraries in this context namely: how can digital technology and advanced
imaging techniques help preserve the traditional documentary heritage and moreover,
how can the born digital heritage itself be protected for future generations?
Part of the four part book series: Citizen Science for Research Libraries — A Guide
A practical guide designed to assist those organising and participating in a citizen science project to get the most out of the experience. The guide will enable you to have the skills to ensure a project is well set up from the start, is able to communicate to its stakeholders and citizens, manage its data and outputs, and overall ensure research benefits. The guide has been compiled by the LIBER Citizen Science Working Group and pulls on the generous contributions of the open science community.
How students get the materials they need as opportunities for higher education expand but funding shrinks.From the top down, Shadow Libraries explores the institutions that shape the provision of educational materials, from the formal sector of universities and publishers to the broadly informal ones organized by faculty, copy shops, student unions, and students themselves. It looks at the history of policy battles over access to education in the post–World War II era and at the narrower versions that have played out in relation to research and textbooks, from library policies to book subsidies to, more recently, the several “open” publication models that have emerged in the higher education sector.From the bottom up, Shadow Libraries explores how, simply, students get the materials they need. It maps the ubiquitous practice of photocopying and what are—in many cases—the more marginal ones of buying books, visiting libraries, and downloading from unauthorized sources. It looks at the informal networks that emerge in many contexts to share materials, from face-to-face student networks to Facebook groups, and at the processes that lead to the consolidation of some of those efforts into more organized archives that circulate offline and sometimes online— the shadow libraries of the title. If Alexandra Elbakyan's Sci-Hub is the largest of these efforts to date, the more characteristic part of her story is the prologue: the personal struggle to participate in global scientific and educational communities, and the recourse to a wide array of ad hoc strategies and networks when formal, authorized means are lacking. If Elbakyan's story has struck a chord, it is in part because it brings this contradiction in the academic project into sharp relief—universalist in principle and unequal in practice. Shadow Libraries is a study of that tension in the digital era.ContributorsBalázs Bodó, Laura Czerniewicz, Miroslaw Filiciak, Mariana Fossatti, Jorge Gemetto, Eve Gray, Evelin Heidel, Joe Karaganis, Lawrence Liang, Pedro Mizukami, Jhessica Reia, Alek Tarkowski
Libraries, archives and museums have traditionally been a part of the public sphere's infrastructure. They have been so by providing public access to culture and knowledge, by being agents for enlightenment and by being public meeting places in their communities. Digitization and globalization poses new challenges in relation to upholding a sustainable public sphere. Can libraries, archives and museums contribute in meeting these challenges?
Wikipedia and Academic Libraries: A Global Project contains 19 chapters by 52 authors from Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, Scotland, Spain, and the United States. The chapters in this book are authored by both new and longtime members of the Wikimedia community, representing a range of experiences.
Libraries have existed for millennia, but today the library field is searching for solid footing in an increasingly fragmented (and increasingly digital) information environment. What is librarianship when it is unmoored from cataloging, books, buildings, and committees? In The Atlas of New Librarianship, R. David Lankes offers a guide to this new landscape for practitioners. He describes a new librarianship based not on books and artifacts but on knowledge and learning; and he suggests a new mission for librarians: to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities.
The vision for a new librarianship must go beyond finding library-related uses for information technology and the Internet; it must provide a durable foundation for the field. Lankes recasts librarianship and library practice using the fundamental concept that knowledge is created though conversation. New librarians approach their work as facilitators of conversation; they seek to enrich, capture, store, and disseminate the conversations of their communities.
To help librarians navigate this new terrain, Lankes offers a map, a visual representation of the field that can guide explorations of it; more than 140 Agreements, statements about librarianship that range from relevant theories to examples of practice; and Threads, arrangements of Agreements to explain key ideas, covering such topics as conceptual foundations and skills and . Agreement Supplements at the end of the book offer expanded discussions. Although it touches on theory as well as practice, theAtlas is meant to be a tool: textbook, conversation guide, platform for social networking, and call to action.
We intend this book to act as a guide writ large for would-be champions of OER, that anyone—called to action by the example set by our chapter authors—might serve as guides themselves. The following chapters tap into the deep experience of practitioners who represent a meaningful cross section of higher education institutions in North America. It is our hope that the examples and discussions presented by our authors will facilitate connections among practitioners, foster the development of best practices for OER adoption and creation, and more importantly, lay a foundation for novel, educational excellence.
his book focuses on difficulties and opportunities in revitalization of old, derelict or abandoned buildings into a library and investigates the transformation of buildings which originally had a different purpose. The publication shows worldwide best practice examples from different types of libraries in historic environments, both urban and rural, while maintaining a focus on sustainability concerning the architecture and interior design.

"If libraries can loan out books, why can’t they loan out citizen science projects?” Josep Perello The world is facing major challenges. Besides Covid-19 and vaccine scepticism we struggle with fake news, post-factual society, climate change, unsustainable food systems, and a multitude of other global problems. Citizen Science – the inclusion of citizens and communities in scientific research – can help mitigate some of these challenges. But it does not happen overnight. If we want to solve these problems, new roles, infrastructures, and partnerships will have to be emerge. And critically, science needs to move closer to society and into the daily life of citizens. The opening quote by Josep Perello (researcher and founder of the Social Citizen Science movement) highlight that public libraries can play a central role. Libraries can be a first point of contact for citizens. They can recruit and retain citizens, provide infrastructure, disseminate scientific information, host events and potentially manage communities and projects. Also, The UN SDG’s provide a strategic platform moving forward. Building on experiences from Denmark and the European research library community, this talk provides the Big Why for libraries as well as show examples for inspiration. Anne Kathrine Overgaard and Thomas Kaarsted run the SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Center which is placed in the university library. They have extended experience running Citizen Science projects and works internationally to do advocacy within the field.
