  • The Joint Higher Education Library of Lahti: Confluencing for Academic Knowledge - Supporting the Study Paths from Upper Secondary School to University
    2020
    Co-Authors: Johanna Kiviluoto
    Abstract:

    Promoting the development of pre-academic information literacy skills of the so-called Google Generation, and especially among the upper secondary school students, is one of the current topics of discussion in the field of media and information literacy. The Joint Higher Education Library in Lahti, Finland has taken several steps to meet these demands by collaborating with the region’s Educational institutions of vocational, upper secondary and university levels. This paper discusses these issues and presents our approach to supporting and promoting knowledge creation, preacademic information literacy skills and lifelong learning. As a joint Library we are in a unique position to offer our users local access to the licensed digital resources of three universities; therefore the focus of our services has shifted into teaching and guiding users in both the use of these collections and in information literacy. To further promote especially the development of pre-academic skills, we have recently teamed up with Lahti’s Kannas Upper Secondary School’s new IB-programme which, with its critical, innovative and scientific focus, is an excellent starting point for learning the information literacy skills needed in later academic studies. As one part of this collaboration, we are planning to launch a new initiative to create a futuristic and mobile Information Skills Clinic. The aim is to develop new methods for teaching pre-academic information and media skills by using serious gaming and participatory design. As part of their studies, the students themselves will participate as developers and testers of this new service. The Skills Clinic will go mobile for example in LINKKU, a multiservice smart bus that also serves as a modern learning environment, making IL guidance and access to Library’s digital resources available also to the region’s more remote upper secondary schools.

Lahdessa toimivassa Korkeakoulujen yhteiskirjastossa haasteeseen on vastattu tekemalla tiivista ja monipuolista yhteistyota alueella toimivien toisen ja korkea-asteen oppilaitosten kanssa. Tassa artikkelissa kerrotaan, miten yhteiskirjasto on osaltaan tukemassa ja kehittamassa lukioikaisten esiakateemisia tiedonhankintataitoja ja samalla luomassa pohjaa elinikaiselle oppimiselle.

  • the Higher Education Library what will 2 billion buy
    Journal of Library Administration, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jay Starratt, Kim Armstrong
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT U.S. academic libraries have substantial resources to commit to advance the research and teaching and learning agendas of their institutions. In the aggregate, academic libraries annually have $2,000,000,000 in purchasing power for materials. However, the disproportionate increases in the costs of scholarly information continue to erode the ability of libraries to meet the information needs of their users. If academic libraries consolidated their purchasing power and pooled their resources, the results for Higher Education could be transformational. Effectively, a universal digital academic Library could be established to serve Higher Education.

  • Are they open yet? L\'impatto della pubblicazionne Open Access sulle biblioteche per la ricerca
    2020
    Co-Authors: P Ayris
    Abstract:

    The UK Higher Education Library and information environment and the impact of the Open Access movement The purpose of this paper is to look at the information landscape in the academic sector in the United Kingdom, and then to attempt to draw some tentative conclusions from the study on the impact of the Open Access movement. It will do this by considering the:? Information landscape? User as researcher? Student as learner? National UK Frameworks? Institutional Repositories. The paper concludes by suggesting that it is research funders, not Government or universities, who are in the vanguard of Open Access advances in the UK.

  • The UK Higher Education Library and information environment and the impact of the Open Access movement
    2005
    Co-Authors: P Ayris
    Abstract:

    Overview: in writing this paper and the accompanying presentation, I was asked by my Italian hosts to provide an overview of current Library developments in the UK, to look at Open Access developments here and to evaluate the success or otherwise of that work. This paper attempts to provide a snapshot and evaluation of these issues as they exist at Christmas 2005. Introduction: what is progress? How do we know when progress has taken place? And how do we evaluate whether that progress has been beneficial to Society? At the global level, I would have to say that this is a very difficult thing to do and that, ultimately, I do not know the answer to this question. And yet, despite the difficulty of the question, I find that there is a question - related to this general theme - which is being asked by many in the international Library profession, by academic colleagues and by knowledgeable university administrators, by publishers and by research funders. This is the question of Open Access. Is this a revolutionary new way to disseminate research outcomes and research outputs, or is it a false dawn, a cul-de-sac? These questions are far too ambitious for me to answer in this paper. What I shall try to do is to look at the information landscape in the academic sector in the United Kingdom, and then attempt to draw some tentative conclusions from this study on the impact of the Open Access movement.
