• Enabling Learning• Creating Content• The Internet is a democratic
device:
– enables people to create, share and use content and to enhance cultural ‘conversation’
– dissemination is easy
– it is popular
– it is interactive
Using a Librarian's 2.0 Manifestoto get focus on the users (by Laura Cohen 2006) We should● Meet the users both online and in physical spaces
● Experiment and not wait until something is perfect before releasing it
● Allow users to contribute content in order to enhance their learning experience.
Demonstrate how they can be used
● Get our users involved in using the applications, listening to their feedback
● Make our users aware of the new services (marketing)
The Light Operation● The LIGHT Operation, EU INTERREG IIIC programme, has
focused on promoting cultural heritage and strengthening its contribution to regional development. The main stated goals of LIGHT were to:
● * strengthen the cultural identities of the participating regions
* raise public awareness of cultural resources
● * support the regions in better exploiting their cultural heritage for educational, tourism and other regional development purposes on the Internet.
* establish networks of relevant institutions, in particular libraries, museums, archives and cultural sites.
