Abstract:
The article discusses the main issues related to the organization of reference services in university libraries all over the world in the framework of the traditional reference bureau and virtual reference service. The implementation of the concept of digital reference service requires high professionalism, expert knowledge of digital tools and methods of working with them on the part of the staff of reference services. The development of information technologies changes the format of communication between the bibliographer and the user. Traditional reference services are complemented by specialized research assistance carried out in accordance with research practices of universities. The provision of real-time and deferred virtual reference services, digital transformation of libraries, and the involvement of catboats with artificial intelligence in reference services are current issues in library theory and practice.The turning point in the evolution of reference services has been the university libraries strategic initiative for online learning and additional professional education. Due to the increasing educational mission of university libraries in the professional library community, the role of information curator that the reference librarian can assume is being actively discussed. Reference librarians, alongside with other information professionals, shape the library’s research and educational space. The article bases on the analysis of publications in foreign professional periodicals.

In light of this, this chapter examined the current digital environment of academic libraries. The chapter discusses the concept of the digital environment and academic libraries, describes digital components in academic libraries (old versus new), describes the impact of the digital environment on academic libraries, identify the new knowledge and skills required for academic libraries users’ and librarians’ functionality in the digital environment of academic libraries, and identifies changing formats ofthe environment of information material; the technological issue; the changing role of librarians; a collection of virtual information, archiving or preserving the virtual information; accessing of virtual information; special skills needed for librarians in building a virtual library; the cost factor of information technology; and the likelihood of job loss by the librarians as current challenges associated with the digital environment of academic libraries. The chapter recommends based on the findings that Academic librarians and studentsshould work to develop in-demand skills and continuously learn to use tools that reveal their capabilities and expertise to function in the digital environment of academic libraries and to provide efficient and effective information service. The academic librarians should anticipate and integrate new technologies to redesign access and delivery mechanisms to maximise utilisation of information and to minimise the costs of supporting such services.

Abstract:
A digital library is a combination of textual, numeric, scanned photos, graphics, audio, and video recordings that allows consumers to easily retrieve information from a digital collection. Recent advancements in computer store and processor, communication technologies, e-products, networking, and internet use have resulted in a radical shift in the way libraries and their services operate. Current study discusses a functioning collection of textbooks, documents, newspapers, and audiovisual resources stored and arranged in a library for anyone to read or borrow. Information and Communications Technology (ICT)has had a significant influence on libraries, and it has altered the traditional library idea in which print and paper materials are the primary components of the system. Libraries are transforming into digital libraries in order to fulfill the massive information explosion and rising demand for information. Due to the digitization of library materials and the rapid advancement of technology, a new sort of library has emerged: the virtual library. Most of us are often perplexed by library jargon. In this work, we attempt to clarify the language used in these libraries in a professional manner. Such libraries will increase the efficiency of education in the coming eras.

Abstract:
This study investigated knowledge and utilization of digital applications for effective service delivery in academic libraries in South-South universities, Nigeria. 3 research questions and 3 hypotheses were raised. The population included 181 selected Librarians in the twelve (12) selected universities in South-South, Nigeria as a case study. A sample size of 119 Librarians representing 66% of the population served as respondents. Convenience sampling technique was used for the study. A 25-item questionnaire was used for data collection. Cronbach alpha statistics was used to obtain 0.73 reliability. Mean/standard deviation were used for research questions and z-test statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result amongst others revealed that, Librarian in both federal and state universities are knowledgeable about Library Catalogue Apps, Library Card and Account Management Apps, Digital Preservation and Archives Apps and others. Meanwhile, Librarians in both federal and state universities poorly utilize Digital Citation Management Apps, Digital Library Card and Account Management Apps and Digital Preservation and Archives Apps. The analysis also shows that, Librarians do not utilize Digital Augmented and Virtual Reality Apps, Digital Library Events and Notifications Apps, Reading and E-Book Apps, Digital Study and Collaboration Apps and Quick Response (QR) Codes scanners. The challenges academic libraries face in promoting digital applications are inadequate skilled staff to operate digital libraries, difficulty in the enforcement of intellectual property rights, non-utilization of digital library Apps.

It is freely available in html and pdf formats at the DLF Web site or may be purchased in softcover edition for $20 from DLF.<br>This report, commissioned by DLF, provides an overview of a diverse set of more than thirty digital library aggregation services, organizes them into functional clusters, and then evaluates them more fully from the perspective of an informed user. Most of the services under review rely wholly or partially on the Protocol for Metadata Harvesting of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI-PMH). Each service is annotated with its organizational affiliation, subject coverage, function, audience, status, and size. Critical issues surrounding each of these elements are presented in order to provide the reader with an appreciation of the nuances inherent in seemingly straightforward factual information, such as "audience" or "size." Each service is then grouped into one of five functional clusters: open access e-print archives and servers; cross-archive search services and aggregators; from digital collections to digital library environments; from peer-reviewed "referratories" to portal services; specialized search engines.

Abstract:
This master thesis aims to critically analyze the state of digital libraries in Swedish academic libraries. With the branching theory of sense-making and the methodology of DELOS and IFLA/UNESCOs digital library manifestos, this thesis hopes to bring to light how far Swedish academic libraries have progressed. By accumulating quantitative data encompassing all digital academic libraries in Sweden, and qualitative data from a select few, conclusions regarding the aforementioned are drawn. Focusing on content analysis, this thesis analyzed the different components that can be said to constitute the digital library and compared them to the different manifestos that dictate what a digital library can be said to consist of. By employing the elusive sense-making theory as a general modus of mind, one can begin to understand thought-making processes behind the tapping of digital library resources. Results from this thesis found that some functions and components are present within all academic libraries in Sweden, but that the digital library primarily tends to focus on resource acquisition and not so much on resource presentation. User environments are not prioritized. Different aspects are presented in regards to mobile optimization, social media, information organization, information design etc. This is a two years master’s thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies.<br>Den här masteruppsatsen syftar till att undersöka digitala bibliotek och digitala miljöer på svenska högskole- och universitetsbibliotek. Med sense-making som huvudsaklig teoretiskt ramverk och DELOS och IFLA/UNESCOs olika manifest gällande digitala bibliotek hoppas uppsatsen visa hur långt svenska bibliotek har kommit i relation till det digitala. Via samlandet av kvantitativ data från alla svenska akademiska bibliotek, och kvalitativ data från ett fåtal utvalda, kommer uppsatsen till diverse slutsatser. Med fokus på innehåll och funktion så undersöker uppsatsen vilka komponenter som kan sägas utgöra det digitala biblioteket i jämförelse med manifesten och deras ideala digitala bibliotek. Med hjälp av sense-making kan man få en förståelse för tankessättet och hur användare angriper de digitala resurserna. Resultaten från uppsatsen visade att det finns en viss grad av framsteg och utveckling som alla bibliotek har nått, men att den digitala satsningen oftast endast inbegriper samlandet av resurser och uppbyggandet av databaser snarare än presentation och design. Miljöer som gör att användarna frodas prioriteras ofta bort. Olika aspekter presenteras i relation till detta såsom mobil-optimering, sociala medier, informationsorganisation, informationsdesign osv. Det här är en tvåårig masteruppsats inom Arkiv, Bibliotek och museum.

RESUMO: O novo modelo de ensino-aprendizagem introduzido por Bolonha e a implementação de tecnologias nas bibliotecas académicas, trouxeram mudanças profundas ao modo como o conhecimento é produzido e disseminado e conduziram à necessidade de uma reengenharia de espaços, serviços e competências, conferindo às bibliotecas um maior dinamismo e inovação nos serviços que oferecem, cada vez mais centrados nas necessidades reais dos seus utilizadores. Este estudo, analisa as tendências conjeturais centradas na triologia utilizadores/ bibliotecas/ tecnologias, recorrendo à triangulação de dados, baseada na revisão de literatura, na realização de inquéritos aos utilizadores e bibliotecas portuguesas e europeias e na observação de bibliotecas através de visitas de estudo, análise das homepages e planos estratégicos. Os resultados obtidos, permitiram delinear um modelo de biblioteca académica inserida numa rede de bibliotecas, demonstrando-se que a colaboração entre instituições e a integração comum de serviços são essenciais para o desenvolvimento futuro destas estruturas académicas, produtoras e geradoras de conhecimento; ABSTRACT: PHYSICAL OR VIRTUAL LIBRARIES? Spaces, services and expertise reengineering in the university libraries of 21st century The new teaching and learning model introduced by Bologna process and the implementation of technologies in academic libraries, changed the way how knowledge is produced and disseminated and have created within academic libraries, new needs of space reengeneering, new services and new librarian skills that increased the offer of dynamic and innovating services with high level quality, based on new technologies and user centered. This study is focused in the library trends and based in the analysis of the triology: users / libraries / technologies and applied as methodology, the data triangulation method, based on the literature review, user survey / questionnaires to portuguese and european libraries and observation of libraries in study visits and analysis of their homepages and strategic plans. The results, brings to the light a new model for the academic library in 21st century embedded in a network of libraries, showing us that collaboration between institutions and the integration of services (shared services) are essential for the future development of these academic structures responsible for producing and sharing knowledge.

Abstract:
The advances in ICTs have decisively changed the library and learning environment. On the one hand, ICTs have enhanced the variety and accessibility to library collections and services to break the barriers of location and time. On the other, the e-Learning has emerged as an additional medium for imparting education in many disciplines to overcome the constraint of physical capacity associated with the traditional classroom methods. For a vast developing country like India, this provides an immense opportunity to provide even higher education to remote places besides extending the library services through networking. Thanks to the recent initiatives by the public and private institutions in this direction, a few web-based instruction courses are now running in the country. This paper reviews different aspects of e-Learning and emerging learning landscapes. It further presents the library scene and new opportunities for its participation in the e-Learning process. How these ICTs driven advances can contribute to the comprehensive learning process in India is highlighted.

Nesse sentido, este estudo tem por objetivo investigar as características dos leitores e dos tipos de leitura desenvolvidos na Biblioteca Central da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, considerando que, atualmente, os recursos de leitura e pesquisa tradicionais dividem espaço com novos produtos e serviços, influenciados pelas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação. Para tanto, envolve uma pesquisa exploratória baseada em uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo como instrumentos de coleta de dados, a observação, o questionário, a entrevista estruturada e a observação participante. A pesquisa de campo foi dividida em duas etapas principais, sendo a primeira, a elaboração de um perfil socioeconômico e cultural, e a segunda etapa, a realização de entrevistas e observações dos processos de navegação dos usuários/leitores da biblioteca. Na primeira etapa, entre outros aspectos, observamos que os leitores da Biblioteca Central correspondem a um público diversificado e dinâmico, composto, em sua maioria por alunos de cursos de graduação que se encontram cadastrados no Sistema Pergamum. A maioria dos usuários/leitores utiliza a biblioteca frequentemente, sendo constatada também uma quantidade significativa de visitantes que utilizam o ambiente de estudo para concursos e similares. A pesquisa acadêmica corresponde à maior razão de uso da biblioteca e, quanto aos produtos e serviços, observou-se que os livros, a consulta local, o serviço de circulação de materiais bibliográficos e a utilização do ambiente para estudo são os recursos mais utilizados pelos leitores, havendo um baixo índice de uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação no ambiente da biblioteca, bem como dos serviços informatizados. A segunda fase da investigação compreendeu três momentos: abordagem dos sujeitos (quando ocorreu o agendamento das entrevistas e observações), entrevista estruturada e observação participante. As entrevistas envolveram questões referentes às características dos leitores, suas relações com as tecnologias, com o ciberespaço, produtos e serviços da Biblioteca Central. A observação participante explorou a solução de três problemas de navegação propostos aos pesquisados, qual seja, a realização de uma pesquisa genérica, a realização de uma pesquisa acadêmica e a exploração dos serviços on-line da Biblioteca Central (pesquisas no catálogo eletrônico, reservas, renovações etc.). Concluiu-se que todos os usuários pesquisados nesta etapa do estudo apresentaram características de leitores imersivos, mas alguns também se destacaram como leitores meditativos, sendo que estes perfis são influenciados pelo ambiente, situação e objetivos de pesquisa, bem como pela cultura dos leitores. Além disso, se por um lado, o fato de serem leitores imersivos não significa que prefiram utilizar apenas o ciberespaço, em detrimento dos livros e demais materiais impressos, esta mesma prerrogativa também não significa que estes leitores conhecem, dominam e utilizam amplamente os serviços eletrônicos da Biblioteca Central da UFMT.

Abstract:
Bibvirt, Biblioteca Virtual do Estudante Brasileiro, é uma atividade em andamento da Escola do Futuro, Laboratório de Pesquisa Interdisciplinar da Universidade de São Paulo, Brasil. O presente estudo pretende determinar se esta biblioteca virtual, iniciada em 1997 e disponível gratuitamente através da Internet (www.bibvirt.futuro.usp.br), atingiu seus objetivos originais, suas necessidades e desejos. O número reduzido de bibliotecas escolares, públicas e de livrarias em todo o território brasileiro, claramente incompatível com as necessidades de uma economia baseada no conhecimento, e os limitados fundos públicos disponíveis no passado e aparentemente no futuro, para corrigir esta situação, obriga aqueles preocupados com a futura produtividade do Brasil e sua habilidade para competir globalmente, a experimentar soluções para problemas sociais baseados nas novas tecnologias de comunicação. Apoiada inicialmente pela Fundação AT&T e pela Secretaria do Estado e da Cultura de São Paulo, a Escola do Futuro lançou em 1997 um servidor baseado na web, contendo grande quantidade de textos, cópias recentemente digitadas de obras da Literatura Brasileira em domínio público, imagens da fauna e da flora brasileira, sons de animais nativos, de instrumentos musicais e de vozes de personagens políticos do passado, permitindo assim que os usuários utilizem e reutilizem ambos materiais áudio visual e de texto para suas necessidades acadêmicas ou de lazer. Em 2001, a média diária de usuários distintos excedia 5.000, e ao longo dos últimos três anos, a Bibvirt foi premiada nas categorias de Educação e Treinamento e Arte e Cultura.De 1º de setembro de 2000 a 25 de fevereiro de 2001, um questionário contendo 37 tens, pretendendo definir o perfil dos usuários e a natureza das satisfações e insatisfações dos mesmos, foi disponibilizado no site da Bibvirt, chegando a um total de 528 questionários respondidos, dos quais 479 foram utilizados para o estudo. A metodologia da pesquisa foi orientada pelo. Modelo “ACTION” desenvolvido por Anthony W. Bates (1995) e pela Abordagem “Sense-Making” desenvolvida por Brenda Derwin (1983, 1986 and 1999). 6 Os resultados do questionário revelaram alguns dados inesperados: para um site planejado para estudantes de Ensino Fundamental e Médio, os atuais usuários eram, de certa forma, mais velhos: 10 -13 anos de idade: 7 %; 14 -17 anos: 20,9 %; 18 -21 anos: 17 %; 22 -25 anos: 15,1 %; 26 -29 anos: 8,4 %; 30 -39 anos: 18,7%; 40 para cima: 11,7%. Os usuários habitantes das capitais brasileiras eram 50,8% e os habitantes do “interior” eram 49,2%. Usuários habitantes de cidades com população acima de 1 milhão de habitantes eram 43% do total, enquanto aqueles pertencentes a cidades com mais de 500 mil habitantes e menos de 1 milhão eram 14%, os de cidades com população entre 500mil e 100mil habitantes eram 22%, e os usuários em cidades com menos de 100 mil habitantes eram 14% e aqueles em cidades com menos de 10 mil habitantes eram 7%. Estudantes de Ensino Fundamental e Médio compunham 37,8% dos usuários, enquanto que estudantes universitários representavam 23,8% do total. Estudantes masculinos eram 50,7% e estudantes femininas eram 49,3%. Estudantes de escolas públicas representavam 50,7% do total e estudantes de escolas particulares representavam 49,3%. Estudantes do Estado de São Paulo constituíram 43% dos usuários, do estado de Minas Gerais 10%, do Rio de Janeiro 8% e do Paraná 7%. A renda mensal familiar reportada foi muito mais alta do que a esperada: até R$ 300,00: 8,8%; R$ 301 - 600,00: 8,8%; R$ 601-1200,00:16,7%; R$1201-3000,00:17,6%; mais de R$ 20.000,00: 10,6%. Quando questionado o local do qual os usuários acessavam à Internet, responderam: de casa: 72,1%; do trabalho 17,6%; da escola: 5,6%; da casa de amigo ou parente: 3,1%; de bibliotecas: 1,7%. 84,4% responderam que o uso da Bibvirt era por razõesde pesquisa e estudo, enquanto que 8,4% indicaram lazer e 7,2% relacionaram a trabalho. Talvez vale preocupar-se e dar futura atenção ao fato de que 57,3% responderam que seus professores solicitaram pesquisa na web, mas não deram nenhuma orientação; 25,4% disseram que professores deram um mínimo de orientação; e somente 17,3% apresentaram que seus professores os acompanharam nas pesquisas. Quando questionado se seus professores os encorajavam a utilizar a Internet para pesquisa, houve diferentes respostas de escolas públicas e privadas: “Estavam todos os professores incentivando?”: 10% dos alunos de escolas públicas confirmaram, enquanto que 8% dos alunos de escolas privadas confirmaram esta questão; “alguns professores?’: 50% dos estudantes de escolas públicas e 44% de estudantes de escola privadas confirmaram; “nenhum 7 professor”?: 40% de alunos de escolas públicas e 48% de alunos de escolas privadas confirmaram. Em relação à questão sobre se eram capazes de encontrar com facilidade o material desejado na Bibivirt: 24,4% responderam “sempre”; 44,1% responderam “quase sempre”; 15,7% responderam “às vezes”; 8,4% responderam “raramente”; e 7,4% responderam ”nunca”. Se o material encontrado em bibliotecas correspondia as suas necessidades de pesquisas: 57% responderam que acharam exatamente o que procuravam; 12,1% acharam o material “muito sofisticado” e 30,9% acharam o material “muito simples”. Se eles acharam que o material que procuravam na Bibvirt poderia ser achado também em outras fontes: 36,9% disseram ser possível; 33,8% disseram que “às vezes” isto acontecia; 13,6% disseram ser difícil e 3,5% disseram nunca ser o caso. Em ordem de importância para os usuários, o material contido na biblioteca seguia tal ordem: literatura, material didático, material para-didático, sons e imagens. Com relação à navegação na biblioteca, 90,6% disseram não ter dificuldade, 9,4% tiveram dificuldade; 48,5% disseram usar o Internet Explorer 5x, enquanto que 19,2% disseram usar o Internet Explorer 4x. Em relação a maneira pela qual eles liam o material encontrado na biblioteca, 28% liam diretamente na tela; 13,4% imprimiam o material enquanto conectados a Internet; 34,3% baixavam para posterior consulta no computador; e 23,2% carregavam para posterior impressão e leitura.<br>Bibvirt, the Brazilian Student’s Virtual Library, is an on-going activity of research and development of the “School of the Future”, interdisciplinary research laboratory of theUniversity of São Paulo, Brazil. The present study attempted (1) to determine if this digital library, started in 1997 and available gratuitously through the Internet [www.bibvirt.futuro.usp.br], had met its original objetives, and (2) to identify the profile of its current users, their needs and desires. The reduced numbers of school libraries, public libraries and bookstores throughout Brazil, clearly incompatible with the needs of a knowledge-based economy, and the limited public funds available in the past, and apparently in the future, to rectify this situation, oblige those concerned with Brazil’s future productivity and ability to compete globally, to experiment with solutions to social problems, based on the new communications technologies.Supported by initial grants from the AT&T Foundation and the São Paulo State Secretariat for Culture, the School of the Future launched in 1997 a web-based server containing large quantities of full-text, newly-digited copies of Brazilian literature in the public domain, images of Brazilian flora and fauna, sounds of Brazilian animals, musical instruments and the voices of national political figures of the past, thereby permitting users to download and re-use for their academic needs or leisure material both textual and audiovisual. In 2001, the daily average number of discrete users exceeded 5,000; and over the last three years, the Bibvirt was awarded 5 trophies “I-Best” for excellence in content in the categories of education and training, and art and culture. From 1 September 2000 to 25 February 2001, a questionnaire containing 37 items attempting to determine the profile of users and the nature of user satisfaction or insatisfaction, was placed on the site of the Bibvirt, drawing a total of 528 user responses, of which 479 were actually used for the study. The research methodology was oriented by Anthony W. Bates’s “ACTION” approach (1995); and Brenda Derwin’s “Sense-Making” approach (1983, 1986 and 1999). The results of the survey brought some surprising results: for a site planned for primary and secondary school students, the atual users were somewhat older: 10-13 years of age: 7.0%; 14-17 years: 20.9 %; 18-21 years: 17.4%; 22-15 years: 15.1%;9 26-29 years: 8,4%; 30-39 years: 18.7%; 40+ years: 11.7%. Those living in state capitols were 50.7% and those in the “interior” were 49.3%. Users living in cities withpopulations over 1 million inhabitants were 43% of the total, while those in cities of over 500 thousand were 14%, those in cities of between 500 thousand and 100 thousand were 22%, and those in towns of less than 100 thousand were 14% and those in towns with less than 10 thousand were 7%. Primary and secondary school students comprised 37.8% of users, while university students represented 23.8% of the total. Male students were 50.7% and female students 49.3%. Students from public school represented 50.7% of the total, and those from private schools represented 49.3%. Students from São Paulo State made up 43% of users, those from Minas Gerais 10%, those from Rio de Janeiro 8% and those from Paraná 7%. Monthly family income reported was much higher than expected: up to R$300: 8,8%; R$301-600: 8,8%; R$601-1200: 16.7%; R$1201-3000: 17.6%; R$3001-6000: 8.8%; R$6001-10.000: 11.2%; R$10.001-20.000: 17.6%; mais de R$20.000: 10.6%. When asked from what location they acessed the Internet, users replied: from home 72.1%; from work 17.6%; from school 5.6%; from a friend/relative’s home 3.1%; from a library 1.7%. 84.4% replied that their use of Bibvirt was for study and research, while 8.4% indicated pleasure and 7.2% relation to work. Perhaps worthy of concern and further attention is the fact that 57.3% answered that their teachers required research on the web but gave no orientation; 25.4% said teachers gave minimal orientation; 17.3% indicated that their teachers accompanied their web research. When asked whether their teachers encouraged research using the Internet, there were different responses from public and private schools: “were all teachers encouraging?”: 10% of public school students confirmed, while 8% of private school students confirmed this question; “some teachers?” : 50% of public school students and 44% of private school students confirmed; “no teachers?”: 40% of public school students and 48% of private school students confirmed. To the question of whether they were able to locate desired material within the library: 24.4% answered “always”; 44.1% answered “almost always”; 15.7% answered “sometimes”; 8.4% answered “rarely”; and 7.4% answered “never”. Whether or not the material found in the library corresponded to the needs of their searches: 57% responded that they found “exactly” that they sought; 12.1% found the material “very sophisticated”; and 30.9% found the material “rather simple”. 10 Whether they found that the material they sought in the Bibvirt could be found just as well in other sources, 36.9% said that it was possible, 33.8% said that “at times” they found this to be true, 13.6% said it was difficult, and 3.5% said it never the case. Inorder of importance to users, the material contained in the library was as follows:literature, didactic material, para-didactic material, sounds and images. With regard to navigation within the library, 84.4% reported having no difficulty, 8.4% had difficulty; 48.5% reported using Internet Explorer 5x, while 19.2% reported using Internet Explorer 4x. As regards the form in which they read the material found in the library, 28.6% read directly from the screen; 13.4% printed directly while connected to the Internet; 34.8% downloaded for posterior reading on-screen; and 23.2% downloaded for posterior printing and reading.

Abstract:
Digital Libraries (DLs) are software systems specifically designed to assist users in information seeking activities. Stemming from the intersection of library sciences and computer networking, traditional DL systems impose library philosophies of structure and management on the sprawling collections of data that are made possible through the Internet. DLs evolve to keep pace with innovation on the Internet so there is little standardization in the architecture of such systems. However, in attempting to provide users with the highest possible levels of service with the minimum possible effort, many systems work collaboratively with others, e.g., meta-search engines. This type of system interoperability is encouraged by the emergence of simple data transfer protocols such as the Open Archives Initiative?s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). Open Digital Libraries are an extension of the work of the OAI. It is proposed in this dissertation that the philosophy and approach adopted by the OAI can easily be extended to support inter-component interaction within a componentized DL. In particular, DLs can be built by connecting small components that communicate through a family of lightweight protocols, using XML as the data interchange mechanism. In order to test the feasibility of this, a set of protocols was designed based on a generalization of the work of the OAI. Components adhering to these protocols were implemented and integrated into production and research DLs. These systems were then evaluated for simplicity, reusability, and performance. On the whole, this study has shown promise in the approach of applying the fundamental concepts of the OAI protocol to the task of DL component design and implementation. Further, it has shown the feasibility of building componentized DL systems using techniques that are a precursor to the Web Services approach to system design.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
This dissertation addresses the problem of the «Digital Library» from the point of view of the «Traditional Library». The work comprises an analytical approach to the problem, being proposed a model for the «Digital Library» according to the perspective and requirements of the «Traditional Library» in face of the new emerging technological paradigm. This model is analysed for the cases of the specialized library and the deposit library, when facing the problem of the digital publishing. As a result, it is proposed a strategy for the deposit library based on the identification of scenarios and publication genres. As a consequence of this process, there were also identified and analysed new problem, such as the new concept of agent, the relationship of the concept URN identifiers? space with the problem, and the problem of the metadata. Metadata is now a new concern for the «Digital Library», from which results new requirements and scenarios raising the problem of the interoperability.<br>O trabalho desenvolvido nesta dissertação gira em torno do termo «Biblioteca Digital» e daquilo que ele poderá significar quando considerado segundo os requisitos da «Biblioteca Tradicional». O resultado consistiu numa abordagem analítica ao problema, propondo-se um modelo para a «Biblioteca Digital» gerado segundo a perspectiva da «Biblioteca Tradicional» quando confrontada com o novo paradigma tecnológico emergente. Este modelo é analisado para os casos da biblioteca especializada e da biblioteca de depósito quando posta perante o problema do depósito de publicações digitais, propondo-se ainda uma estratégia para a mesma baseada na identificação de cenários e géneros de publicações. Como consequência são ainda identificados e analisados novos problemas, especialmente os do agente enquanto novo conceito, a relação do problema com o caso do espaço de identificadores URN, e o problema da metadata. Conclui-se ainda ser esta agora uma nova preocupação na «Biblioteca Digital», de onde resultam novos requisitos e cenários que nos conduzem ao problema da inter-operação.

Abstract:
The difference between a digital library and a library with which a digital reference service is affiliated is discussed, and digital reference in these contexts is defined. There are several issues involved in integrating digital reference service into a digital library environment, but two that are unique to the intersection between digital libraries and digital reference: collection development of previously-answered questions, and presentation of specialized subsets of the materials in the digital library's collection. These two issues are explored.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a new perspective on the definition itself that describes the current libraries. We are used to the traditional libraries, with imposing shelves of books. The perception of the library services is changing; people want the integration of the services into the virtual world. The internet is the second world, the second life, we are all part of this new kind of world and the library services are taking part in this virtualization. This research analyses the gamification of the libraries, and how this process is present in these institutions. The aim is to approach the new medium from the perspective of young people, video gaming representing a way of meeting other players, creating communities in a virtual world. Some people tend to reject the term gamer, as people that reject this term believe that gamers are different, disconnected from the real world, there is this stigma of being a gamer. In this paper, we will show that gamers can be an important part of the contemporary culture, that they are important for the libraries. The info-documentary structures are part of this main process of technologization, the new technologies are finding their place in our cultural structures. The libraries are nowadays digital structures at the level of collections and services, adapting to the new habits of young information consumers. This research brings out a new perspective on the mission of the libraries, where we should have modern services, there should be full integration of the systems for the digital medium.

Abstract:
Discovery services have evolved to include not just books and articles, but databases, website content, research guides, digital and audiovisual collections, and unique local collections that are all important for their users to be able to find. Search and ranking remain at the core of discovery, but advanced tools such as recommendation, virtual browse, ‘look inside‘, and the use of artificial intelligence are also becoming more prevalent. This group of panelists discussed how content in their discovery systems can change based on the context of the user, using as examples Primo and Blacklight, and how content is populated, discovered and requested by users through differing customizations and workflows. The session also explored what tools are available today or may become available in the coming years that may be used to highlight different collections and material types in a library discovery system. As this topic impacts many stakeholders—libraries who need to make content discoverable and satisfy the needs of their users, content providers who want to make sure that their content is visible and used, and discovery providers who need to develop their systems to support the changing needs—the panelists posed questions to the audience to encourage conversation around the challenges they face with making their unique content collections discoverable and to share solutions.

Abstract:
The present paper aims to analyze the current mission of "Carol I" Central University Library for library professionals' training and development. We started our methodology from the services and scientific products that these institutions offer to higher education researchers, teachers and students, the extent of the technological developments and (co)relation with the assimilated skills. Taking into account the new tendencies in heritage preservation and cultural sharing through the new tech, dedicated portals and communication channels, library professionals must be specialized in digital technology processing, metadata cataloguing, bibliographic data exchange, digital preservation and data analyzing. Unfortunately, the Romanian library system lacks a well guided training policy, a nationwide unified strategy for digital preservation and also a public strategy for professional training. Our study will focus on how "Carol I" Central University Library, Bucharest understands its unique role of training provider for secondary school library system and also of the academic library system. The librarian profession addresses to a different public, has specific tasks and levels of difficulty, being influenced by the organizational evolution and technical infrastructure. They are also confronted with economic constraints and need to develope the expertise and adjust the library services and scientific products (eBooks, e-portfolios, digital repositories, eLearning platforms) through electronic means of communication, theoretical expertise and sociological tools in order to accomplish the fundamental mission of the institution (to support teaching, learning and scientific research) at highest academic standards. The teaching and learning processes have been transformed rapidly the last decades due to the shifting evolution of communication channels and educational software. Blended Learning as new paradigm became a very appropriate solution for knowledge transfer. The evolution of library services and new strategies for learning and communications required a strong set of specific skills for librarians. In this respect, having as mission to develop the competences of both academic and school librarians, "Carol I" Central University Library might use a common training curriculum for the basic working skills. The purpose of our analysis is to explore the need for blended learning and its influences in the academic environment, highlighting the librarians' training policies. We designed a virtual learning environment dedicated to the professional training, with Moodle, in order to provide professional guidance for librarians, and also applied the last theoretical fundamentals of blending learning in the librarianship field, comparative case studies concerning electronic library services. In this regard, we explored the possible technological foundation that might be used to design a pedagogical model for librarians' blended training framework. This is the reason behind "Carol I" Central University Library, as the only national training provider for two library systems, took into consideration the blended learning as a cost effective solution for knowledge sharing, continuous development and professional solidarity.

Abstract:
We live in a time period when technology is advancing at an incredible speed. What seemed to be almost science fiction twenty years ago nowadays is becoming or has already become reality. As a result, our activities (especially the activities of young people) have started to shift more and more towards the digital world. If our parents used to read books in order to spend their free time when they were in their 20s, nowadays young people prefer in their free time to play a mobile game rather than to read a book. Even though they know reading books can be more useful and even more entertaining than a mobile phone game, people tend to choose the smartphone activity because of the easiness of reaching the desired action. This paper presents the current status of the LibQuest prototype, an application part of Lib2Life research project, that enables the possibility to combine reading with fun and technology, aiming to remind people how important and fun reading can be. Inside virtual libraries, which reproduce real life libraries, people can solve quests (such as RPG quests), can take part in virtual tours or can participate to custom cultural events. All these actions (whether we talk about quests, tours or cultural events) can be created by an admin of the library or can be also created by users of the application. Tours and cultural events can take place only in the virtual world, while quests, in order to be more exciting, can take place in both the virtual world and the real world.

In a highly technologized century, the process of learning must benefit from the advantages of technology. Gamification, artificial intelligence, virtual or augmented environments or adaptive learning are just some of the trends which have evolved in the past years in the field of e-Learning. Collaborative learning is also an efficient learning methodology, where people engage together in learning actions or share one with another their knowledge and resources. Wikis, forums, social media groups are just some examples of successful collaborative learning environments. As the evolution of technology has impacted traditional learning and reading preferences of people, we must think of new ways of improving and modernizing both learning and teaching. Our current paper presents the advantages of using the latest technologies for collaborative learning, with a relevant example from the Lib2Life - Cyber-Physical Library project. Its goal is to revitalize reading and improve the learning process by using emerging technologies, restoring at the same time the popularity of libraries as safeguards of the cultural patrimony. With the help of augmented reality (AR), digitization and optical character recognition, we developed a mobile application meant to help people annotate physical books, view annotations by other users and manage their own social-collaborative library. After registering their favourite books in the application, users can create digital annotations (text, images, videos or links) or see the existing annotations by scanning a book page with their smartphone's camera. Annotations can be rated, commented, shared on social media or on user-configured friend groups, thus creating a collaborative environment which can be easily integrated in a great variety of domains. We present the innovative concept of AR annotations and a tool based on this concept, which can be used for self-learning or as a collaborative tool, revolutionizing handbooks and manuals.

Abstract:
This paper discusses ARL’s position on controlled digital lending of library materials and lays out considerations that may support research libraries in crafting their use case and preparing for a fair-use analysis. The paper also reflects a discussion of digital-lending practices, concerns, and opportunities held by the ARL Advocacy and Public Policy Committee and guests during the October 2021 Fall Association Meeting. That discussion, and subsequent conversations around an earlier version of this paper, informed ARL’s position on digital lending.

Abstract:
The Institute for Policy &amp; Social Research (IPSR) at the University of Kansas received funding from the Economic Development Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce under the CARES Act to study broadband access in the state of Kansas. To conduct this study, IPSR examined existing data, fielded our own survey of broadband speeds and access, conducted focus groups, and commissioned a chapter on the digital divide within the state of Kansas. The report discusses available data sources and introduces the speed test data collected by IPSR in order to map the broadband access landscape in Kansas. Along with speed tests, the Kansas broadband survey collected information regarding broadband access, adequacy, affordability and satisfaction. The survey data were enhanced by interviews and focus groups that allowed Kansans to share their struggles with internet access in their own words. The report also investigates digital equity using surveys and interviews conducted at public libraries that revealed the challenges faced by library patrons, including lack of digital access and literacy. The report that is summarized below indicates a rural-urban digital divide in terms of access, affordability, and satisfaction with broadband services. The data in this report indicate that up to 1,000,000 Kansans live in regions that lack access to highspeed broadband services, now considered to be 100 megabits per second (Mbps) download and 20 Mbps upload (100/20). Close to half of survey respondents (46%) report dissatisfaction with broadband services.

Abstract:
In early June 2021, representatives from a number of CNI member institutions gathered for the third in a series of Executive Roundtable discussions that began in spring 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 emergency. The conversations were intended to inform our understanding of how the pandemic had impacted the research enterprise and to share information about how institutions were planning to shape investments and strategies surrounding the research enterprise going forward. Previous Roundtables were held in April and September 2020 and reports from those conversations are available from http://www.cni.org/tag/executive-roundtable-report. As with the earlier Roundtables on this topic, June participants primarily included senior library administrators, directors of research computing and information technology, and chief research officers from a variety of higher education institutions across the US and Canada; most participating member institutions were public universities with high research activity, though some mid-sized and private institutions participated as well. The June Roundtable took place in a single convening, supplemented by an additional conversation with a key institution unable to join the group meeting due to last-minute scheduling conflicts. As before, we urged participants to think about research broadly, encompassing the humanities, social sciences, and fieldwork activities, as well as the work that takes place in campus laboratories or facilities shared by broader research communities; indeed, the discussions occasionally considered adjacent areas such as the performing arts. The discussion was wide-ranging, including, but not limited to: the challenges involving undergraduate, graduate and international students; labs and core instrumentation; access to physical collections (libraries, museums, herbaria, etc.) and digital materials; patterns of impact on various disciplines and mitigation strategies; and institutional approaches to improving research resilience. We sensed a growing understanding and sensitivity to the human toll the pandemic has taken on the research community. There were several consistent themes throughout the Roundtable series, but shifts in assumptions, planning, and preparation have been evident as vaccination rates have increased and as organizations have grown somewhat more confident in their ability to sustain largely in-person operations by fall 2021. Still, uncertainties abound and considerable notes of tentativeness remain, and indeed, events subsequent to the Roundtable, such as the large-scale spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in the US, have eroded much of the confidence we heard in June 2021, though probably more around instructional strategies than the continuity of the research enterprise. The events of the past 18 months, combined with a growing series of climate change-driven disruptions, have infused a certain level of humility into institutional planning, and they continue to underscore the importance of approaches that emphasize resilience and flexibility.
