Text of the page (random words):
rd library innovation lab that i used to co direct many of the ebooks are being provided straight to a platform mainly amazon by the authors there are lots of jobs public libraries do that are unrelated to books e g the boston public library is heavily used by the homeless population the way forward dan stresses working together collaboration dpla is as much a social collaborative project as it is a technical project it is run by a community that has gotten together to run a common platform and digital is important we don t want to leave it to jeff bezos who wants to drop anything on you that you want by drone in an hour andromeda she says she s going to talk about libraries beyond thunderdome echoing a phrase from sue kriegman s opening comments my real concern is with the skills of the people surrounding our crashed boeing libraries need better skills to evaluate and build the software they need she gives some exxamples of places where we see a tensions between library values and code 1 the tension between access and privacy physical books leave no traces with ebooks the reading is generally tracked overdrive did a deal so that library patrons who access ebooks get notices from amazon when their loan period is almost up adobe does rights management with reports coming page by page about what people are reading unencrypted over the internet she adds you need a fair bit of technical knowledge to see that this is happening she says it doesn t have to be this way it s the drm and the technology that have these privacy issues built in she points to the nypl library simplified program that makes it far easier for non techie users it includes access to project gutenberg libraries have an incentive to build open architectures that support privacy but they need the funding and the technical resources she cites the library freedom project that teaches librarians about anti surveillance technologies they let library users browse the internet through tor preventing or at least greatly inhibit tracking they set up the first library tor node in new hampshire homeland security quickly suggested that they stop but there was picketing against this and the library turned it back on that makes me happy 2 metadata she has us do an image search for beautiful woman at google they re basically all white metadata is sometimes political she goes through the 200s of the dewey decimal system 90 christian this isn t representative of human knowledge it s representative of what melvil dewey thought maps to human knowledge libraries make certain viewpoints more computationally accessible than others our ability to write new apps is only as good as the metadata under them our ability to write new apps is only as good as the metadata under them as we go on to a more computational library world which is awesome we re going to fossilize all these old prejudices that s my fear my hope is that we ll have the support conviction and empathy to write software and to demand software that makes our libraries better and more fair jeffrey he says his peculiar interest is in how we use space to build libraries as architectures of knowledge libraries are one of our most ancient institutions libraries have constantly undergone change from mausoleums to cloisters to warehouses places of curatorial practice and civic spaces the legacy of that history has traces of all of those historical identities we ve always faced the question what is a library what are it s services how does it serve its customers architects and designers have responded to this assuming a set of social needs opportunities fantasies and the practices by which knowledge is created refined shared these are all abiding questions contemporary architects and designers are often excited by library projects because it crystallizes one of the most central questions of the day how do you weave together information and space we re often not very good at that the default for libraries has been build a black box we have tended to associate libraries with collections if you ask what is a library the first answer you get is a collection but libraries have also always been about the making of connections i e how the collections are brought alive e g the alexandrian library was a performance space what does this connection space look like today in his book with matthew battles they argue that while we ve thought of libraries as being a single institution in fact today there are now many different types of libraries e g the research library as an information space seems to be collapsing the researchers don t need reading rooms etc but civic libraries are expanding their physical practices we need to be talking about many different types of libraries each with their own services and needs the library as an institution is on the wane we need to proliferate and multiply the libraries to serve their communities and to take advantage of the new tools and services we need spaces for learning but the stack is just one model discussion dan mike o malley says that our image of reading is in a salon with a glass of port but in grad school we re taught to read a book the way a sous chef guts a fish a study says that of academic ebooks 75 of scholars read less than 50 pages of them i may have gotten that slightly wrong sorry assuming a proliferation of forms what can we do to address them jeffrey the presuppositions about how we package knowledge are all up for grabs now there s a vast proliferation of channels and that s a design opportunity there s a vast proliferation of channels and that s a design opportunity how can we create audiences that would never have been part of the traditional distribution models i m really excited about getting scholars and creative practitioners involved in short form knowledge and the spectrum of ways you can intersect the different ways we use these different forms that includes print there s an extraordinary explosion of innovation around print andromeda reading is a shorthand library is really about transforming people and one another by providing access to information reading is not the only way of doing this e g in maker spaces people learn by using their hands how can you support reading as a mode of knowledge construction ten years ago she toured olin college library which was just starting the library had chairs and whiteboards on castors this is how engineers think they want to be able to configure a space on the fly and have toys for fidgeting e g her eight year old has to be standing and moving if she s asked a hard question we need to think of reading as something broader than dealing with a text in front of you jeffrey the dpla has a location in the name america 8212 the french national library wants to collect the french internet but what does that mean the net seems to be beyond locality what role does place play dan from the beginning we ve partnered with europeana we reused europeana s metadata standard enabling us to share items e g europeana s 100th anniversary of the great war web site was able to seamlessly pull in content from the dpla via our api and from other countries the dpla has materials in over 400 languages and actively partners with other international libraries dan points to amy ryan the dpla chairperson who is in the audience and points to the construction of glass walls to see into the boston public library this increases permeability when she was head of the bpl she lowered the stacks on the second floor so now you can see across the entire floor permeability is a very smart architecture for both physical and digital spaces jeff rendering visible a lot of the invisible stuff that libraries do is super rich assuming the privacy concerns are addressed andromeda is there scope in the dpla metadata for users to address the inevitable imbalances in the metadata dan we collect data from 1 600 different sources we normalize the data which is essential if you want to enable it for collaboration our metdata application profile v 4 adds a field for annotation because we re only a dozen people we haven t created a crowd sourcing tool but all our data is cc0 public domain so anyone who wants to can create a tool for metadata enhancement if people do enhance it though we ll have to figure out if we import that data into the dpla jeffrey the politics of metadata and taxonomy has a long history the enlightenment fantasy is for a universal metadata school what does the future look like on this issue andromeda you can have extremely crowdsourced metadata but then you re subject to astroturfing you can have extremely crowdsourced metadata but then you re subject to astroturfing and popularity boosting results for bad reasons there isn t a great solution except insofar as you provide frameworks for data that enable many points of view and actively solicit people to express themselves but i don t have a solution dan e g at dpla there are lots of ways entering dates we don t want to force a scheme down anyone s throat but the tension between crowdsourced and more professional curation is real the indianapolis museum of art allowed freeform tagging and compared the crowdsourced tags vs professional crowdsourced sea and orange were big which curators generally don t use q a q people structure knowledge differently my son has adhd or nepal where i visited recently a dan it s great that the digital can be reformatted for devices but also for other cultural views that s one of the miraculous things about the digital e g digital book shelves like stacklife can reorder themselves depending on the query jeff yes these differences can be profound designing for that is a challenge but really exciting andromeda this is a why it s so important to talk with lots of people and to enable them collaborate me linked data seems to resolve some of these problems with metadata dan linked data provides a common reference for entities allows harmonizing data the dpla has a slot for such ids which are uris we re getting there but it s not our immediate priority blogger s perogative by having many references for an item linked via sameas relationships can help get past the prejudice that can manifest itself when there s a single canonical reference link but mainly i mean that because linked data doesn t have a single record for each item new relationships can be added relatively easily q how do business and industry influence libraries e g google has images for every place in the world they have scanned books i can see a triangulation happening virtual libraries virtual spaces andromeda 1 virtual tech is written outside of libraries almost entirely so it depends on what libraries are able to demand and influence 2 commercial tech sets expectations for what users experiences should be like which libraries may not be able to support 3 people say why do we need libraries it s all online and i can pay for it no it s not and no not everyone can people say why do we need libraries it s all online and i can pay for it no it s not and no not everyone can libraries should up their tech game but there s an existential threat jeffrey people use other spaces to connect to knowledge e g coffee houses which are now being incorporated into libraries some people are anxious about that loss of boundary being able to eat drink and talk is a strong vision statement but for some it breaks down the world of contemplative knowledge they want from a library q the national science and technology library in china last week said they have the right to preserve all electronic resources how can we do that dan libraries have long been sites for preservation in the 21st century we re so focused on getting access now now now we lose sight that we may be buying into commercial systems that may not be able to preserve this this is the main problem with drm libraries are in the forever business but we don t know where amazon will be we don t know if we ll be able to read today s books on tomorrow devices e g i had a subscription to oyster ebook service but they just went out of business there go all my books i had a subscription to oyster ebook service but they just went out of business there go all my books open access advocacy is going to play a critical role sure google is a 300b business and they ll stick around but they drop services they don t have a commitment like libraries and nonprofits and universities do to being in the forever business jeff it s a huge question it s really important to remember that the oldest digital documents we have are 50 yrs old which isn t even a drop in the bucket there s far from universal agreement about the preservation formats old web sites old projects chunks of knowledge of mine have disappeared what does it mean to preserve a virtual world we need open standards and practices missed the word digital stuff is inherently fragile andromeda there are some good things going on in this space the rapid response social media project is archiving e g ferguson preserving software is hard you need the software system the hardware etc q distintermediation has stripped out too much value what are your thoughts on the future of curation jeffrey there s a high level of anxiety in the librarian community about their future roles but i think their role comes away as reinforced it requires new skills though andromeda in one pottery class the assignment was to make one pot in another it was to make 50 pots the best pots came out of the latter when lots of people can author lots of stuff it s great that makes curation all the more critical dan the dpla has a curation core librarians helping us organize our ebook collection for kids which we re about to launch with president obama also given the growth in authorship yes a lot of it is sexy vampires but even with that aside we ll need librarians to sort through that q how will digital rights management and copyright issues affect ebooks and libraries how do you negotiate that or reform that dan it s hard to accession a lot of things now for many ebooks there s no way to extract them from their drm and they won t move into the public domain for well over 100 years to preserve things like that you have to break the law some scholars have asked the library of congress for exemptions to the dmca to archive films before they decay q lightning round how do you get people and the culture engaged with public libraries andromeda ask yourself who s not here jeffrey politicians dan evangelism comments off on liveblog the future of libraries it s good to have hoder hossein derakhshan back after spending six years in an iranian jail his voice is stronger than ever the changes he sees in the web he loves are distressingly real hoder was in the cohort of early bloggers who believed that blogs were how people were going to find their voices and themselves on the web i tried to capture some of that feeling in a post a year and a half ago instead in his great piece in ...
