Biblioteksdebat

Jeg har tidligere skrevet om mine oplevelser på NEXT konference Århus. Et af de mere interessante oplæg kom fra Anthony Townsend der er director for Institute for the Futures Technology development. Her styrer han IFTFs investeringer i fælles forecasting platforme, fremtidens medie- og visualiseringsteknologier og værktøjer til web-kommunikation. Anthony Townsend arbejder desuden med bl.a. mobilitet og urbanisering, innovationssystemer og –strategier og bæredygtighed.

Hvis du vil opleve han indlæg kan du se det her:

The development of ‘open library’ in Denmark #wlic2013

In occasion of my participation in the World Congress for Libraries IFLA, I have made a presentation of the libraries in Denmark and especially the concept we call OPEN LIBRARIES. The theme of WLIC 2013 is "Future Libraries: Infinite Possibilities" and OPEN LIBRARIES is one of the possibilities. In Denmark, all the libraries is free to use, In the way, that all the basis services are free of charge for the public. In Denmark almost all the Libraries are funded by tax. The libraries are obligated to make all kinds of materials available, both physical and digital. Not just books. We have 98 municipalities and all of them are obligated, by legislation, to have a library and to finance it. Some of the municipalities have more than one library. We have approximately 450 public libraries, to a population of 5,5 mil. people. Half of the libraries are closed in the last ten years, but the development has hopefully stopped now. It seems that development lead to fewer and few

Hvad læser børn i en skole uden et bibliotek?

Mine største børn siger stadig at de går på skolebiblioteker, men jeg tvivler på at min den yngste på 4 kommer til at kende begrebet. I kølvandet på folkeskolereformen er skolebiblioteket nemlig blevet afskaffet eller i hvert fald erstattet af pædagogiske læringscentre . Hvad betyder det for skolen og elevernes kompetencer i forhold til traditionelle biblioteksdyder som litteratursøgning, kildekritik og læselyst, når man ændre fokus fra bibliotek til læringscenter. Det er tanker der er inspireret af at jeg er på vej til generalforsamling i Aarhus hos Kommunernes Skolebiblioteksforening eller de har naturligvis også skiftet navn til Kommunernes Forening for Pædagogiske Læringscentre . En forening som vi I Danmarks Biblioteksforening har et godt og udbytterigt samarbejder med, hvilket vi desværre ikke har med den anden "skolebiblioteksforening" Pædagogisk LæringsCenterForening som har meddelt at de ikke længere ønsker at deltage i biblioteksparaplysamarbejdet da de ikke l

Open libraries - without staff ............. all the time

Do you know this when you visit the library? The experience is no longer as common in Denmark North Beach: San Francisco Public Library yesterday at 9:55 am When I as a Dane participant in such a big event like IFLA or the ALA Annual Meeting is one of the questions we often get; is it true that in Denmark the libraries are open without staff? The answer I give is; no, we do not have libraries without staff, but we have libraries that are open even when the staff is not there. More than half of all public libraries in Denmark are now "open libraries" In Denmark, all the libraries is free to use, In the way, that all the basis services are free of charge for the public. In Denmark almost all the Libraries are funded by tax. The libraries are obligated to make all kinds of materials available, both physical and digital. Not just books.
