Integration: some findings
Bruges Public Library
win-win > Bruges public library (40.000 users) is a useful channel for external providers; New issue: Where does the library end? > library is being enriched and becomes more appealing, also to people who aren’t focused on the traditional library resources
hybrid content > advisory services> focusing on user needs, rather than collection or medium> making the choice for medium within the library system
Integration: some findings
ADVISINGADVISINGThis girl was looking for

Discovery:Connecting people to knowledge and inspiration- of which they had no prior knowledge or interest- of which they couldn’t formulate the need
Simplifying:- reducing overload & noise
Advising
Bruges Public Library
sight and sound (cf Gardner multiple intelligences)- covers- podcasts and trailers
advisory data- subject headings, awards, original language, etc.- media mentions (including canon and authoritative guides- bestsellers- lastfm mashup- references to external information: e.g. Librarything, Google Books and muziekweb
- heritage collections: provenance, exhibitions, publications, etc.
Data enrichment
FRBR clustering of different editions and
languages
summary of availability information
linking to external advisory data (public domain + subcription databases)
internal advisory data: descriptive + rich browsing
(acquisition ranking)

- connecting content with what happens in the library, in the city or the general media- is independent, but has Cabrio as a primary channel- centripetal: activating content- leading to conversations
- 1 message per subset per week- based on calendar- on screen basis and on year basis attempting to achieve a good representativeness
Blog integration
physical cd
concert in Bruges
digital loan item
blog item:connecting content with real life,
activating long tail on basis of what happens in the city
Bruges Public Library
finding without searching: 1/3 of the queries is not search box initiated (subsets: 40%)
looking for balance between current interest and long tail
diversity in advisory data reflecting diversity in life styles and media preferences
guidance = pointing out alternatives, rather than imposing choices
>90% use of first page + refining or rich browsing to new first page (rather than to current second page)= making chains of clicks on advisory data
Advising: some findings
