6. It just doesn't make sense to chunk it up and put an arbitrary structure around stuff like this, so I won’t.Maybe that is why things like DAMS, ECM, WCM and EDRMS are so hard to do and so painful as experiences?I think we are trying to apply too many techniques and methods from the physical world in the digital world.
7. Trying to put a physical taxonomic protocol on digital material either doesn't work at all or at best, not very well. It is too cumbersome, too slow, too costly, too restricted.There is no "right" way to do it because we cannot agree on the categories & because of the size of the problem and the time it takes to do things the old way (in unhelpful systems, adding formal metadata). http://www.researchchannel.org/prog/displayevent.aspx?fID=569&rID=16134
8. The web is too fluid, too dynamic. It is never finished; a work in progressWe are no longer limited by volume, storage, film, distance, membership, pages, chapters, paragraphs, the concept of the physical object, place, time or even ownershipAnd yes, we're struggling with that last one too - Copyright wasn't designed for a web platform http://frommelbin.blogspot.com/2009/10/cory-doctorow-on-copyright-open-access.html
9. So what helps now? In addition to given subject headings, Dewey, & other taxonomies Tagging, playlists, hyperlinks, shared platforms & data, applications, mashups, ‘digital altruism’ Is it really digital convergence or is it convergence of the best of the physical and digital worlds?
10. . . . by letting users tag URLs and then aggregating those tags, we're going to be able to build alternate organizational systems, systems that, like the Web itself, do a better job of letting individuals create value for one another, often without realizing it. http://www.shirky.com/writings/ontology_overrated.html http://www.librarything.com/home/malboo http://www.last.fm/home http://delicious.com/malbooth
11. We're sharing knowledge & collaborating to do it (think Wikipedia) We're staying connected: social networks and the mobile web, micro-blogging We're helping & engaging with each other Examples from the film: http://www.couchsurfing.org/ http://www.mumsnet.com/ http://theps.net/ http://watch.usnowfilm.com/

17. Institutions It is no longer adequate to wait for people to come to us: physically or via our homepages. Our content MUST be findable open and then we must get out to where the people are! Content is king, but clever access to content is God, no amount of content is good, if you can't access it. @paulhagon (NLA)

These dates may slip and too some extent we are not the master. University priorities (which building/project comes first) may change. Nevertheless, it will be pretty close to the above.Image source:http://www-lib.icu.ac.jp/ASRS/index-e.htm
Barefoot really means mobile or wandering – librarians getting out of the library and mixing it more in the faculties & with researchers to see how we can help, assist and guide.A move towards 24/7 is inevitable, but not the whole library space – just certain areas and limited services during the small hours!Less of a “service from behind the counter” interface.Triaging to do the initial interview to find out how best to provide our service. Triage can be done in a number of ways and even RFID can help – interactive boards on entry that change according to the viewer’s needsClever, simple way finding and signage – also using lighting, environmental design, colours, etc.Images:http://www.archdaily.com/14063/qantas-sydney-first-lounge/http://www.flickr.com/photos/building_ub/3038276269/
We need to meet differet needs: collaborative & individual spaces, noisy & quiet spaces, students and academics, researchers, and those unable to come to the Library.We want to personalise ourselves from the inside out – to expose the people who work here & make them all more visible & contactable.We’d like to offer more personalised and customisable consultation services too.Images:http://homepage.mac.com/sydamug/online/aug08/news_aug08.htmlhttp://www.sindark.com/2007/02/19/oxford-colleges-cataloged/
The vast scope of our goals in terms of the different spaces, hours and levels of access means that we need to reliable means of providing a secure environment for our clients, staff and collections.We’d really like to make our physical and digital services to work together in a truly integrated and mutually beneficial way. To complement each other.We are looking everywhere at new teaching & learning spaces and experiments.We’d like to showcase UTSeScholarship up front as we believe that is our future flagship.Images:http://fistswithyourtoes.blogs.com/fistswithyourtoes/2007/05/index.htmlhttp://www.cox.com.au/projects.aspx?projectId=3944&disciplineId=1208
Sustainability is a big aim and we want to get all of the dimensions correct: the building, the internal environment, carbon footprint, consumption, waste, recycling, procurement, staff and client behaviours. We want to model that in every way including the ways in which we interact with each other as colleagues and also with our clients.We believe we can create a fun environment that is functional and an attractive place to work in.Images:http://www.siteisight.com/green_project.html http://constructionblog.org/tag/green-buildinghttp://www.arnewde.com/architecture-design/architecture-building-of-surry-hills-library-and-community-centre-by-fjmt-architect/
In many ways some of our physical spaces are reflecting improved social engagement in the digital environment.Our community is the University community, but we must also be inclusive to some extent of our local community and an increasing reliance on industry and business partners and collaborators.All images from:http://cedirsd.uow.edu.au/ils/globe.aspx?type=2
We know our new spaces need to be adaptable and easily reconfigured as uses and tastes and purposes always change. We must be dynamic and so too must our building.Students too want flexible adaptable spaces that they can use for different purposes easily.Some spaces can cleverly stimulate things like noise regulation or collaboration just through well-chosen lighting, furniture and design.We are looking everywhere for simulating & inspiring ideas.Images:http://www.sydneyarchitecture.com/NEW/NEW22.htmhttp://www.educause.edu/learningspacesch23http://digitaleskimo.net/blog/2009/09/02/bicycle-parking-and-repair-station-opens
