How the internet continues to sustain growth and innovationEd Dodds
The document discusses how the Internet continues to sustain growth and innovation despite concerns about its ability to handle increasing demands. It argues this is due to a combination of technological advances, investments, and changes in traffic flows. New technologies have continually increased network capacity while investments have expanded and upgraded infrastructure. Additionally, content delivery has become more efficient through distributing content to multiple locations closer to users via Internet exchange points, content delivery networks, and cloud services. These factors have allowed demands from new applications and users to be met without network collapse.

Jeff Patmore, Head of The Strategic University Research for BT Group, talks about Enterprise 2.0 - will it really deliver? at Warwick Business School 19/01/2009
This document discusses the transition from traditional media like television and newspapers to new digital media enabled by the Internet and Web 2.0. It notes that behaviorally targeted online advertising spending has grown significantly while spending on traditional media like direct mail and newspapers has declined. The rise of personalized digital media represents both an opportunity and challenge for companies to engage with citizens directly instead of relying on traditional advertising channels.
This document discusses the implications of Web 2.0 technologies for education. It notes that with Web 2.0, users can upload and edit content, leading to a social construction of knowledge. Blogs, RSS feeds, tagging, and other tools are changing how information is organized and shared. However, education has been slow to adopt these technologies and risks falling behind if it does not rethink many of its fundamental principles in light of new possibilities enabled by the social web.
The document summarizes the iSummit 2008 conference happening in Sapporo, Japan from July 29th to August 1st. The iSummit brings together people from around the world each year to discuss topics related to digital culture and a free culture on the internet. This year's event in Sapporo will include keynotes from leaders in open content and commons-based governance, working labs on topics like open education and global commons, interactive activities showcasing Japanese culture, and social evening events exploring Sapporo. The iSummit is organized by partners from South Africa and Japan and results from almost 12 months of collaboration.

Libraries in China have seen a rapid growth in Intellectual Property Information Service (IPIS) centers over the past few years, with over 100 established. These centers were encouraged by the Chinese government to support innovation and patent applications. They provide services like patent searches, analysis of patent trends, and support for industries. While still developing, they represent a promising new direction for academic research libraries in China. Compared to the US, where similar centers have existed longer in libraries but not transformed them, the growth of IPIS centers could impact the transformation of Chinese academic libraries.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

7. The Future from the Past
Monorail, Incorporated built a short test
track of their suspended system at
Arrowhead Park in Houston, Texas. Each
bogie was powered by a 310-horsepower
Packard automobile engine. The driver
was seated high above the passenger
carriage on one of the two bogies. After
eight months of testing, the track was
dismantled and rebuilt at the Texas State
fairgrounds where it ran for many years. Its
promoters claimed it could reach speeds of
160 km but no Skyway transit installations
were ever built.
The future was exciting in 1956!

18. Has the Future Arrived?
Monorail
Please note that the
monorails listed in these
pages are MULTI-STATION
systems. We do not include
the dozens of recreation or
view-giving minirails
here. Our efforts are
primarily geared towards
proving monorail's ability
to carry people from point
to point as TRANSIT.
18
19. Has the Future Arrived?
Predictions & expectations from the past:
• Have arrived
• Sometimes have exceed expectations
• Often fail to become widely embedded
Can we learn from past expectations of the future?
Note importance of evidence:
“Our efforts are primarily geared towards proving
monorail's ability to carry people from point to
point as TRANSIT”

24. Time of Growth
1990s & early 2000s saw:
• Increased funding across
education sector
• Significant developments
in IT sector
• Willingness by senior
managers & funding
bodies to invest in
innovative IT
developments (e.g. JISC
development
programmes)

25. Time of Growth is Over
Late 2000s and beyond:
• Decreased funding across
education & public sector
• Acknowledgements that
innovation can provide
growth and cost savings
• Significant developments
continue in IT sector
• Investment in innovative IT
developments need to be
based on evidence of
benefits & likleyhood of
success “You want how much? And no

evidence it will work! You’re
25 http://www.flickr.com/photos/drewleavy/339489258// crazy!”
26. Innovation
Invention: Creating something new
Innovation: Using something new
Improvement: Using something that exists
in a better way

27. The Context
In the future mobiles will be smaller & faster;
Data will be Big and content and services will be
open. Lots of opportunities for librarians

34. Sense-making
Need to:
• Understand limitations of evidence-gathering
techniques (including documenting „paradata‟ so
survey findings are reproducible & can be critiqued)
• Provide suggestions of implications of developments
for the sector
In addition need to encourage feedback on:
• Evidence-gathering techniques
• Interpretation of findings
Make sense of my
• Implications of developments talk in realtime: tweet if
you agree, but
In order to inform:
especially if you don‟t!
• Further investigation
34 • Policy-making, planning and funding
37. Significant Trends: Mobile
Opera
We now know of the importance of Mobile: but
did we say the same when WAP came along?
37
38. Significant Trends: Social Media
There were “more than 150 million Tweets about the
Olympics over the past 16 days”. [Twitter blog]
38
39. Significant Trends: Social Media
Survey in Aug 2012 of institutional use of Twitter across
24 Russell Group universities found >320K followers
39
40. Significant Trends: Social Media
Survey in Aug 2012 of institutional use of Facebook across the
24 Russell Group universities found >1M „Likes‟ followers
40
41. Behind The Facebook Page
Trends in Fb „Likes‟ for Russell
group Unis since Jan 2011 show
steady increase
But note increase in Jul 2012 due
to addition of 4 new universities!
Jan 11 Sep 11 May 12 Jul 12
But might trends hide a more
complex story:
• Usage & growth dominated
by one significant player.
• More modest usage
generally
41
42. Need for Paradata and Discussion
Surveys carried out to monitor usage & trends for:
• Institutional use of social media
• Use of researcher profiling services (e.g. Google
Scholar, Academia.edu, …) across institutions
Observations (and feedback):
• Differing results found if quotes used
• Possible inclusion of wrong Unis (e.g. Newcastle
University, Australia)
• Personalised results depending on client environment
Need to provide paradata and encourage feedback
42 on processes and intrepretation of findings
43. Paradata Example
Dates of survey
An example of paradata for a blog post on use
of Blekko for an SEO analysis of Russell
Group Universities
Summary of unexpected findings Limitations of survey methodology
People in host institution can
provide contextual knowledge if
open approaches used
43
44. Sense-Making: Social Media
Social media:
• Is about nodes and connections
• Numbers do matter for effective
engagement and disseminations
• Experiences from other areas:
Nos. of mobile phones
Importance of email
“All bugs are shallow to many eyes”
Implications:
• Importance of best practices for popular & well-
used channels
• Difficulties for new entrants e.g. Diaspora (open
alternative to Facebook) and identi.ca and app.net
44 (new open alternative to Twitter)
45. Open Data
“Is London 2012 a
haven for open
data?”
Conclusions:
• “Not this time”
• “But it is the first
data Olympics”
• “It's hard to see that
by [Rio] 2016 this
won't emerge as
data we can all
use”
45
46. Open Data
“Manchester City to
open the archive on
player data and
statistics”
Example of:
• Public interest in
open data
• Interest from
commercial sector
46
47. Use of Open Data in Libraries
Trends in reusing Library usage data,
e.g. JISC‟s Library Impact Data Project
Average number of books borrowed and e-resource Image & data provided by
Dave Pattern under a CC
logins for ~33,000 students in final year of studies BY-NC-SA licence
47
48. Innovating or Improving?
How should we enhance the visibility of
research papers?
• Search tools “better than Google”
• Richer metadata?
• Exploit potential of Linked Data?
Or
• Make more effective use of existing
infrastructure?
48
49. Evidence of IR Usage
Evidence suggests:
• 50-80% of traffic arrives via Google
• Some traffic may not be recorded (direct links to PDFs)
SEO analysis of 24 Russell Group Universities
Importance of externally-
hosted blog platforms!
Importance of blog
49 platforms, Wikipedia & media
50. Implications
Implications of findings:
• Innovation is important
But:
• We shouldn‟t ignore potential
of implementing best practices
on existing systems
Remember:
• Today‟s mainstream service
was yesterday‟s innovation
• No guarantee that best
practices for innovative
systems will be implemented
50
51. TechWatch Reports

key areas of growth &
importance:
• Data
• eBooks
• Mobile Web
• Augmented Reality

54. Challenge For Librarians
In time of uncertainties:
• Take an evidence-based
approach to
understanding the future
• Understand the changed
environment
• Engage with opportunities
in areas of growth and
institutional importance
• Be open and encourage
discussion on analysis &
interpretation of findings
54
56. Exploiting Opportunities: Data
Opportunities for Librarians in engaging with research

57. Warning From The Past
Gopher
Tim Berners-Lee
didn‟t accept the
evidence of the
popularity of Gopher!
57
58. Serenity prayer
Serenity prayer:
God, grant me the
serenity to accept
the things I cannot
change,
Courage to change
the things I can,
And wisdom to know
the difference.
58
59. Conclusions
The Data will be Big, but our users will continue to use
Facebook and Twitter
But research data will grow in importance as will use of
mobiles.
According to the evidence the future isn‟t quite what I
expected. But it has helped to identify our business
strategies.
