First things first

What is a
digital library

(there is no unique definition..)

but let’s
give it a shot…

-aa

-aa

“a library in which collections are stored in
electronic media formats […] and accessible via
computers.

The electronic content may be stored locally, or
accessed remotely via computer networks.”


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_library

“[..] at Stanford University, some discussion was held as to
what did we mean by the term "digital library“”. [..]


it would be valuable [..] to document a common
understanding of the term, but agreed that […] we could
not and would not aim for a general consensus.

http://www.dlib.org/metrics/public/papers/dig-lib-scope.html


The term "Digital Library" has a variety of potential
meanings,

ranging from a digitized collection of material that
one might find in a traditional library

through to the collection of all digital information along
with the services that make that information
useful to all possible users.

ranging from a digitized collection of material that
one might find in a traditional library

through to the collection of all digital information along
with the services that make that information
useful to all possible users.


[..] the following definition was proposed: The Digital
Library is:
–The collection of services
–And the collection of information objects
–That support users in dealing with information objects
–And the organization and presentation of those
objects
–Accessable directly or indirectly via electronic/digital
means

The Digital Library Reference Model (2011)

(273 pages!)

“…a potentially virtual organisation, that comprehensively collects,
manages and preserves for the long depth of time rich digital
content, and offers to its targeted user communities [..] according to
comprehensive codified policies."

“Digital libraries are organised collections of digital
content made available to the public.“

And there are many
more definitions…*










* Such as https://www.ischool.utexas.edu/~i385d/readings/Borgman-1999-What_Are_Digital_Libraries.pdf

Yes, sorry…. I really need some critical mass here,
each example will become a ‘datapoint’ for making
some trend plots later on
(I will them brief, you can study them in more detail later…)

OK, now we have at least
some understanding of
basic concepts and trends
in DLs…

In terms of
we’ve just looked at…

Let’s now look at
3 less directly visible
ingredients of DLs

strategy

What I’m trying to say here:

Digital libraries don’t just run by themselves.


It takes
organisation, management & strategy
to build them, keep ‘m running and make ‘m
grow….

Let’s take a look at (only)
two trends
in these fields…

Trend 1. Content & brand distribution


↓ Less “Come to daddy”


↑ More “Dressing up as pandas”

http://communist812.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/come-to-daddy-2.jpg
Many GLAMs still expect people to visit
their little, geeky, not-so-sexy DL-sites, to there
consume their DL-content, services &
brand

Many GLAMs still expect people to visit
their little, geeky, not-so-sexy DL-sites, to there
consume their DL-content, services &
brand






They have to make an awful lot of
noise (=institutional marketing) to
draw people into their little boutiques

On the modern web
(nearly all) DL-sites are niche market
“boutiques” with relatively local or
specialized audiences
… but honestly, often
they’re just too small
for that..

http://communist812.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/come-to-daddy-2.jpg
We (ie. GLAMs) expect people to take the
trouble to leave their trusted online
hang-outs to visit our little, geeky, not-so-sexy
DL-site, to consume our DL-content &
brand


We have to make an awful lot of noise
(=institutional marketing) to try to
make people like our little, geeky, not-so-sexy
DL-site & brand

http://www.collaboration-incontext.com/2006/12/enterprise_20_t.html

Web2.0:
“The long tail”

At the same time, GLAMs know the big,
cool, popular platforms & communities
normal people use in their daily lives

Mass markets
“Department stores”
with global audiences
(head of long tail)

At the same time, GLAMs know the big,
cool, popular platforms & communities
normal people use in their daily lives



Because they realize most normal people
won’t take the trouble to come to their little,
geeky, not-so-sexy DL-site,
Most people go to
department stores
instead of boutiques

At the same time, GLAMs know the big,
cool, popular platforms & communities
normal people use in their daily lives



Because they realize most normal people
won’t take the trouble to come to their little,
geeky, not-so-sexy DL-site, they have to find a …

won’t take the trouble to come to their little,

Cunning trick!
They “dress up as pandas” to seamlessly
fit into the existing platforms, communities
and workflows, so they can

more easily distribute their niche DL-
content, services & brand to global
audiences


They set up in-store
boutiques!

Some dressing up styles of GLAMs

1.Search engine optimisation
(dressing up to be liked by Google)

•Collaboration with Wikipedia
(dressing up to be liked by curious people)

•Social content sharing (Flickr, Pinterest..)
(dressing up to be visually liked)

•Ego networks (Facebook, Twitter ..)
(dressing up to be seen & gossiped about)


•Offering APIs
(dressing up to be liked by businesses & developers)

update the trends table

CONCEPT PAST PRESENT
Geo-scope of DL Local
Scope is local (regional, national),
unaware of bigger world
‘Global village’
Local initiatives & services are aware of
the bigger world, and their roles within it
User contribution Institutions add content & value
- 1-directional institutional broadcasting
- Users are passive consumers
Users also add content & value
- Users are creators
- Harnassing collective intellligence,
crowd-curation, folksonomy
Control Institution(s) in control
The wishes of our users are scary and
complex, we know what’s best for them
User voice heard
Our users are our co-developers, they
give us valuable input how we should
develop our DL. P2P communication
Openness of
content
(reuse, revise, remix,
redistribute)
Closed
- You can use our content yourself, but
you can’t build upon it
- © , All rights reserved
Open
- We propagate sharing & remixing our
content, as far as legitimate rightholders
are not harmed
- Creative Commons
Content
distribution
Come to daddy
- People need to visit our website
- Only niche-markets are reached
Dressing up as pandas

Funding of DLs


- Public - Mix of public, public-private, (corporate)
sponsors, crowdfunding
