The session will explain how your library and organisation could use podcasting and vodcasting, animated gif guides, mobile phone e-book solutions, dedicated e-book readers, augmented reality applications, GPS applications, social networking developments and bluetooth solutions amongst many others, to enhance the present learning environment for your students.

14:00 hrs  >Opportunities for Mobile Enhanced Library Services and Collections 
 
Tito Sierra / Associate Head for Digital Library Development, North Carolina State University, NCSU Libraries, Digital Library Initiatives Department, USA.
 
The 2010 Horizon Report from the New Media Consortium identified Mobile Computing as one of two emerging technologies likely to have a significant impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression in higher education in the coming year. How can libraries approach the opportunity created by pervasive mobile computing?.
 
The presentation introduces one model for planning mobile initiatives within an academic library context, informed by the experience of mobile library initiatives deployed at North Carolina State University. The model advocates for thinking about mobile as a use context rather than a content delivery channel, and leveraging existing digital assets where possible.

16:00 hrs >  eReaders in Education and Libraries 
Rudolf Mumenthaler / Head Innovation and Marketing, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich (ETHZ), ETH Library, Switzerland
 
The year 2010 is already acclaimed "year of eReader". The second generation of eReaders is on the market. Amazon launched its Kindle and this was followed by new models and an increasing number of eReaders basing on the eInk-Technology. Book stores and libraries are afflicted by the new business models. Also, user behavior is changing if books are bought and read in digital format on mobile devices. Mobile devices can be eReaders, netbooks, mobile phones, and tablets.

In this presentation, different technologies, digital eBook formats and business models are presented and discussed. The possible impact of eReaders on libraries and their services is a crucial issue for university libraries and a second focus of the presentation. How can we integrate the new technologies in our product portfolio? And which new technologies are already appearing on the horizon?

 “Wikis: Disruptive Technologies for Dynamic Possibilities” reviews the general nature and structure of select wikis, the features and functions of popular wiki software engines, and describes the content and use of wikis by select businesses, colleges and universities, and libraries.

The presentation also speculates about the wiki as an environment, framework, and venue for Disruptive Scholarship, my proposed model for alternative scholarly authorship, review, and publishing
