http:\/\/www.meebo.com\/room\/toptech\/<\/a> – might be testing my multi-tasking to the limit!<\/p>\nMB: Open source – already in public, will come into academic. Make sure that systems are actually open, not just called open etc. Also look for open data<\/p>\n
KS: Broadband – quite political stuff – no proper telecommunication strategy at federal level I think is the basic message.<\/p>\n
Open Access – small literary journals are doing this, because they can in the online world – gets rid of costs. No so visible to librarians, as we tend not to ‘own’ these things<\/p>\n
Lots of tech problems with online participants – sound patchy, video not brilliant etc. Good that it’s being tried though!<\/p>\n
CL: After enthusiasm for Open Source we will see a backlash as people try to come to a realistic view – is he talking about the ‘hype cycle’?<\/p>\n
Collaboration across the network – people need to be able to work together in an agile fashion – sychronous and asynchronous. Report – ‘Beyond Being There’ – looks at the issues around virtual organisations.<\/p>\n
Travel will get much more expensive and less common. Virtual presence in meetings needs to get much better much more quickly.<\/p>\n
Need to look at how we regard privacy of information<\/p>\n
Letting go of ‘holdings’ so they can be reused and put into contexts where they add value outside the normal venues.<\/p>\n
Overload?<\/p>\n
RT: Suprises are the norm! Google digitisation was a suprise. Hope that OCLC can suprise<\/p>\n
We need to retool for constant change.<\/p>\n
Need to get over the system upgrade cycle – need to be on the latest platform, and upgrade in timely manner<\/p>\n
MF: Role of social s\/w in collecting local knowledge.<\/p>\n
Library as social hub, providing technology for community – e.g. slide scanner to digitise peoples slides<\/p>\n
Combine h\/w, s\/w and education that people need to do digital projects<\/p>\n
Blogs as historical artifacts. If someone is taking a class in 50 years time about library history – will they be able to see the blogs that started and developed the library 2.0 movement?<\/p>\n
JB: Green technology – cost and environment concerns<\/p>\n
Adding semantic markup to docs – extracting meaning from text<\/p>\n
Mobile, always on devices<\/p>\n
Personal relationship with information – connections etc.<\/p>\n
KC: APIs!<\/p>\n
ELM: Got to get your ‘stuff’ out there – a Web API is the way to do this.<\/p>\n
KC: Handheld devices<\/p>\n
Give up control on data<\/p>\n
Didn’t get so much of this – too busy taking part in the discussion in the chat room – oh well…<\/p>\n
