People in the workshop says: - social capital & partnerships - Dialogue, learning democratic citizenship - making events Sundays with brunch combined with presentaions and discussions about the library - mayby outside? - encourage students to coorperation and partnership - new skills for librarians - catalyst for democracy - library as knowledge crating instituion - librarians roles and coorperation wiht other instituions - competences - inspirations about dissemination, integration, cooperation, librarians roles as part of the library policy in Aarhus

Lotte Duwe Nielsen: De Balie is a fantastic place and idea. For instance the Black Marked http://www.mobileacademy-berlin.com/pexperten/index.html

Jannik Mulvad: Mobile trends: 1 Digitization - eBooks: Kindle, iPhone 2 Mobile children - New mobile services 3 Near field Communication - Payment, ID 4 Contextualization - Location-based services, Augmented Reality: Sekai Camera 5 De-Contextualization - Palce as an optional experience, not a requirement

Jannik Mulvad: Martin: Q: focus on mobil tec. But is the library ending up in the pocket of the users, and mobilphones? Is that the future we want? Martin: Q: Where is the interaction with the library?

Bo Fristed: Comments from the presentation (2) Rolf Hapel: TING must be a platform for the user to use for creation of their own mashups. It's needed to make demands to the vendors. It's not the creation of technology that's interesting, but the services which can be build using the technology. Now there is a burning platform. Things are moving very fast. Public libraries need a solid backend system.

Bo Fristed: Comments from the presentation: Why a new strategy? Needs for more flexible ILS solutions with much higher grade of user and library based selections among the total amount of services and content. Demands for better integration between ILS and digital world of content and service, as wlee as services from other platforms: SOA!! We ILS-vendors need to be kiched........!!

Bo Fristed: Bo W. is presenting the workshop. The participants is invited to give answers to the given questions. Why a new strategy (for integrated library systems) Can a SOA-based platform satisfy and support userinterfaces? Can we designate the most important valuedrivers.

Jannik Mulvad: Hi Michel, im uploading the slides this minute to www.slideshare.com/nextlibrary kindly Jannik

Marie Ostergaard: Jens Thorhauge's will be on the website afterwards. The same for the rest if the speakers accept

Michel Steen-Hansen: Can I see the PowerPoint somewhere?

Marie Ostergaard: 214 people playing together - can it get much better?!

Jesper Woeldiche: We are experiencing technical difficulties with the site as of saturday morning. There have indeed been engaged discussions on the site during the last months, and we are right now trying to bring them back online.

Jesper Woeldiche: The programme and the related comments have returned. We are still ironing out some minor glitches, but the important stuff seems to have returned. The cause was a human error on our part, but Crowdvine Support came to the rescue!

Jens Hofman Hansen: True - users are not interested in searching but finding. But if they are going to find, we need to work more with powerful search technologies :-) Looking forward to seeing you!!

Jesper Woeldiche: Original comment missing due to aforementioned technical difficulties. Antti Pakarinen wrote: "I like the beer thing. But why on Earth would be want to search, if we can find? Normal people hate searching. Only librarians love searching. But otherwise, I hope to meet you. The agenda (and the beer) is valid. We really should address these questions."

Jens Hofman Hansen: Knowledge you can use, a competition AND free world class beer - if you don't show up for this session, you are down right ungrateful :-)

Boris Zetterlund: Hi I will try to uploaded the presentation. The discussion were more like a Q&A emphasizing the presentations themes. Some were worried about the demise of the physical media but I was stressing the change of work. The media should and will be there, in many forms including the local productivity, the local stories. Please be in touch! bz@axiell.com

Iryna Matveeva: I unfortunately missed the presentation but would be very interested in the discussion and ideas from your workshop! Thanks in advance! Iryna

Lotte Duwe Nielsen: Ideas about the networking next library are most interesting. I think public libraries often network with organisations and associations that are very similar to libraries. I look forward to this workshop to learn more about innovative partnerships building the new library by alliances with communities, companies and citizens.. Regards, Lotte

Jannik Mulvad: Hi Heber, at the dinner/party at Varna, it´s live music. So dount bring your iPod to the party, but put on your Dance shoes ;-)

Heber Lopez: Hi everybody, in this moment I’m not sure what kind of music I want to listen at the party, but what do you think if we take our ipods and decide in that moment. Best

Iryna Matveeva: Report on the workshop: The team of 7 countries (Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Mexico, Poland and Ukraine) where the program is implemented, aspired to not just present their programs. They wanted to share their challenges and aimed to pick up the ideas from the other conference participants on how to successfully address them. So each country briefly presented their program and the issues they are grapping with. The team posed the following questions: 1. How to convince Local Authorities to invest and finance training for librarians? 2. How to encourage transition from information to taking action? How to encourage replication of good practices and innovation? 3. Can and how relevant can local content be on the national level? 4. How to be flexible and innovative when managing a huge state program? 5. What are best practices on e-content creation and Europeana Local? 6. How to do many things with little resources (challenge of 1-librarian libraries)? Here are some of the suggestions from the participants: On getting support from local authorities: - Invite politicians and involve them; - Have the right message; - Understand that people believe what they see: have small identifyiable successes and demonstrate benefits; - Have small projects that the mayor can open; - Have a plan for your advocacy effort; - Involve citizens. On encouraging transition from information to action: - Training – teach librarians to assess their communities and create their projects in response; - Start with small projects: it's easier to engage local community members in small projects rather than big scale programs; - Motivation – people need to see it themselves before they can model innovation; - A library can benefit from skills and competencies that the local community members have; - Remember that the library should adjust to the community needs, not the community to the library needs; On flexibility for large-scale programs: - Training could be one way to meet local needs and innovate in a local environment in the context of a national program; - Think of allocating money for libraries according to analysis of demographics, economic level; On e-content production: - Excellence must be defined locally; - Develop a framework of digital skills for librarians; - Become the local connector, open UP; - Think of distance learning in digitalization and content creation for librarians (especially in smaller communities); On doing more with less: - Aggregate resources of community for development of small library; - Think in local alliances – there are more resources available than you think. Thank you all for great ideas and suggestions!

Heber Lopez: Hola amigos, I think it’s a good idea to divide the workshop in sub-themes; we could also divide our team in smaller groups to address those sub-themes, in this way we could focus on specific topics and try to link them to make the presentation. I’m not sure but I think we are seven colleagues working on this, so we all could pick a topic to work with and then we could define the number of groups and how long is going to be each presentation. We could give us maybe a week to work with our groups and at the end find the better way to link each group presentation. Do you think this way could work to organize this workshop? Best, Heber

Iryna Matveeva: Dear all GL teams, I have copied Anna's 4 suggested priority topics and indicated team's preferences so far(from the emails I've received): 1. CO-CREATION (4 votes): -creating local e-content; -libraries building community - sharing experience and problems to be solved in our countries; 2. USER-CENTERED INNOVATION (2 votes)- services (existing and potential) to be promoted through our Program, for example: library web page design usability; training and other programs responsive to user needs, etc.; 3. YOUTH CULTURE (1 vote)- best practices from our leading public libraries to be multiplied and promoted through GL target libraries for example: Information literacy for school children; library programs “Let’s save children from the streets”, etc; 4. COMPETENCIES (2 votes)- Competency profile of a successful GL librarian. I like Anca's idea of covering several topics. In this case we could organize the workshop in several sub-themes. If we decide to do this, should we flesh out those sub-themes a bit more and see where each team could contribute? Thank you all! Looking forward to meeting you soon, Iryna

Lisbeth Maerkedahl: Summary What is Knowledge Landscape? - What makes it important and what are the key landmarks?This was the focus for this workshop. Knowledge has always been the raw material of learning, creativity and understanding and it’s found in every place today. The landscape of knowledge is rather complex and changes rapidly. Fx people in trains have replaced the reading book with ipods etc. Therefore libraries as knowledge institution need to think in terms of recreating because changes in behaviour, changes faster than services. The routes to knowledge also need to be redefined: Prior Knowledge Value Chain: Collection -> Connections -> Customers Todays Knowledge Value Chain Collection <-><- Customers In helping libraries to cope with the complex knowledge landscape cooperation with other institutions are essential and necessary. There is no specific strategy to this cooperation, but among the audience for this workshop several has had an a kind of cooperation with other institutions: - UK: Hampshire – Discovery Center - UK: Idea Stores - DK: Adult education – Open Education - Helsinki – Mediapoint In the future we have to think in terms of, how do libraries become an attractive place, innovative etc – and not just an information store? One way to go is to identify attractive and relevant partners to cooperate with.

Chris Batt: PROPOSAL: Libraries in the Knowledge Landscape PURPOSE: To consider the wider context of the public library in a rapidly changing landscape of knowledge institutions and social behaviours. Where should the library fit into the emerging knowledge value chain? Who will be the other key agents in that value chain? What is the knowledge value chain anyway? APPROACH: Short presentation of factors, questions and challenges followed by a discussion ANTICIPATED OUTCOME: Perhaps six action points that focus on the external relationships that libraries will need to build in the future

HenrikFink Isaksen: Dorthe pointed out that it is very important to choose a "story" to focus on. A lot of good stories about lifelong learning projects will help lifelong learning succeed. Kirstine Jakobsen, DK told about her experiences in teaching Information searching for schools. She also used the Entitle-tools in working with IT for elderly peaople. Kirstine evaluated the templates, and her conclusion was, that if you have an ongoing service she would definately use it. Paula Kaaksonen, told about their "laptop-services". Their story was a "laptopclub" - and the idea was that the people decided what to meet about. It was a huge success. The concept was concentrated about themes e.g. Facebook. The people were mostly people between 45 . 84 years old, and they were very happy to participate. We made an evaluation and a report telling where we made mistakes, and what people said. 15 people participated in the workshop, and the first question they discussed was: 1. Why evaluate learning services in libraries Erik Thorlund Jepsen asked: What do we do if the story is wrong ? If we have to change direction ? 2. Do you evaluate your learning services? Adie Batt (UK) In the UK we do so, but we should use it even more, because it establish a solid base for improvement. Erik Thorlund Jepsen argued: But how do we find out if people improve their skills ? 3. Could the Entitle tools become a part of everyday routine in libraries when planning and implementing new learning services ? The tools are best for ongoing courses, and it gives good dialogues with the teachers. 4. In practice, how can we convince participants to take part in evaluation and to spend extra time to do it ? Adie Batt (UK) - You have to insist, and you have to plan the evaluation in time, and work hard to give the participants motivation to fill out the forms. At the end of the workshop people filled out post-its for the presentators further use.

HenrikFink Isaksen: The workshop presented the outcome of the project. Dorthe Brandt Larsen was first on stage, and she started out to present the 6 guidelines for the project. 1.Strategies and Policies on Lifelonglearning in PL. 2.Landscape 3.Planning and managing learning services 4.Ressourcing 5.Evaluation 6.Learning Invironment

Anne-Marie Schmidt: Presentation of the ENTITLE project - guidelines, impact assessment framework, based in GLO - a method developed by MLA, London

Next Library Crew: The afternoon consists of 10 open sessions. The conference team will introduce the content and format for the sessions. You can suggest subjects, moderators and ideas for the sessions in the programme . The conference team will help manage all the comments and ideas and set up the workshops and contact suggested moderators.

Helene Blowers: Very cool! I'm looking forward to not only doing the session, but also meeting an mingling with so many other library innovators
