B103 discovery dissemination and outreach

Esben Fjord, Gladsaxe public libraries in Denmark
Experimenting with new forms of digital forms in physical space
Reasons - bringing electronic resources into physical space where users are, exposure of resources in context, take advantage of librarians competences, beta culture and fun.

Experiment that will become part if service
4 digital platforms:
Digital signage
Music chair (sonic)
Drawing machine
Interactive floor (the cube)

Screens controlled with digital signage system via web
Factual Info, reviews, recommendations, events
10 editors, each responsible for 1 or more screens
For the future want screens to be interactive
Data from users, competitions, surveys
Exposing electronic resources

Drawing machine
Touchscreen interface, can print
Outlines from national web portal
Future - support events, upgrade software
Children love it.

Music chair (same as DOK)
built in speakers, interactive.
Librarians playlist recommendations
Content from Youtube and Grooveshark
Future - user created playlists and recommendations, special event playlists
Content from national streaming service, better interfaces, other kinds of media

Interactive floor
Play and gaming, textexpo, supporting special events, fun,
Future - better interface, library specific presentations, expose electronic resources

Text display - books with display of words on screens
Copyright and drm are problem. Competances and organisations.



Rob Haran
Marketing and outreach of Shire info services
Things need to be simple and linked together
Can't say fairer than that really


Amazed again at variety of library/info workplaces
Need to have ponder about library presence in school, esp homerooms
