Talking With Talis :: The Library 2.0 Gang talk about changing library buildings
Originally posted by Talking With Talis on January 10, 2007.
In this Library 2.0 Gang discussion, we talk about the changing role of the library building in delivering a range of services. As more material moves online, and as a growing number of those using library services are remote from their physical library, how do we adapt the services that are offered, and how do we transform the buildings for the 21st century?
Participants in this edition of the Library 2.0 Gang were;
- Thomas Brevik, head librarian at the Royal Norwegian Naval Academy in Bergen, Norway. Thomas blogs in English at Librarian 1.5, and in Norwegian at Blogg og bibliotek. He also podcasts, mainly in Norwegian, at Bibliotek 2.0.
- Paul Miller, Technology Evangelist at Talis. Paul blogs at Thinking about the Future, contributes to panlibus, and hosts the Talking with Talis podcast series.
- T. Scott Plutchak, Director of the Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in Alabama, USA. Scott blogs at T. Scott.
- Richard Wallis, Technology Evangelist at Talis. Richard contributes to the panlibus blog.
During the conversation, the following sites and resources were cited;
- Scott's blog post on 'Better buildings'
- The Saltire Centre in Glasgow [which will feature in a presentation by Les Watson to a Talis/CILIP joint event in London in March]
