Head of Idea Store) - http://www.ideastore.co.uk/

We are not building a library for the city. We are
building the city.
PLACEMAKING
Public spaces and activities created by people
Placemaking according to PPS (Project for Public Spaces)
”Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Put simply, it involves looking at, and asking questions of the people who live, work and play in a particular space, to discover their needs and aspirations. This information is then used to create a common vision for that place.”
The concept of public by Rosalyn Deutsche
”has democratic connotations. It implies ”openness”, ”accessibility”, ”participation”, ”inclusion” and ”accountabiblity”…”Public space” in this view does not simply refer to already existing physical urban sites as parks, urban squares, streets, or cities as a whole…
The concept of public (space) (cont.)
”Public space can also be defined as a set of institutions where citizens … engage in debate; as the space where rights are declared, thereby limiting power; or as the space where social group identities and the identity of society are both constituted and questioned.”
IFLA:s Trend Report -The Insights Documenthttp://trends.ifla.org/
• The Insights Document pulls together and summarises all of the information contained on the Trend Report website for IFLA members. It identifies five high level trends and considers possible future "collision points" between trends affecting the role and identity of libraries.
• The Insights Document is the conversation starter for the library community. It's the ‘way in’ to the Trend Report, and opens up discussion about how information trends are shaping your library, whether it's a public, academic, specialist or national library, within your region.
TREND 1:NEW TECHNOLOGIES WILL BOTH EXPAND AND LIMIT
WHO HAS ACCESS TO INFORMATION
An ever-expanding digital universe will bring a highervalue to information literacy skills such as basic readingand competence with digital tools. People who lack these skills will face barriers to inclusion in a growing range of areas. The nature of new online business models will heavily influence who can successfully own, profit from, share or access information in the future.
TREND 2:ONLINE EDUCATION WILL DEMOCRATISE AND
DISRUPT GLOBAL LEARNING
The rapid global expansion in online educationresources will make learning opportunities moreabundant, cheaper and more accessible. There will beincreased value on lifelong learning and morerecognition of non-formal and informal learning.
TREND 3:THE BOUNDARIES OF PRIVACY AND DATA
PROTECTION WILL BE REDEFINED
Expanding data sets held by governments and companies will support the advanced profiling of individuals, while sophisticated methods of monitoring and filtering communications data will make tracking those individuals cheaper and easier. Serious consequences for individual privacy and trust in the online world could be experienced.
TREND 4:HYPER-CONNECTED SOCIETIES WILL LISTEN TO AND
EMPOWER NEW VOICES AND GROUPS
More opportunities for collective action are realised in hyper-connected societies – enabling the rise of new voices and promoting the growth of single-issue movements at the expense of traditional political parties. Open government initiatives and access to public sector data will lead to more transparency and citizen-focused public services.
TREND 5:THE GLOBAL INFORMATION ECONOMY WILL BE
TRANSFORMED BY NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Proliferation of hyper-connected mobile devices, networked sensors in appliances and infrastructure, 3D printing and language-translation technologies will transform the global information economy. Existing business models across many industries will experiencecreative disruption spurred by innovative devices thathelp people remain economically active later in life from any location.
Cross-European survey to measureusers’ perceptions of the benefits of ICT in public libraries
Final reportMarch 2013Susannah Quick, Gillian Prior, Ben Toombs, Luke Taylor and Rosanna Currentihttp://www.minedu.fi/export/sites/default/OPM/Kirjastot/kansainvaelinen_ja_eu-yhteistyoe/Liitteet/Final_Report_-_Cross-European_Library_Impact.pdf
% of adults who have used a public library in the last 12 months/last month
% and estimate of number of adults who have used a PAC in the last 12 months
Perceptions of public libraries – strongly agree
Value placed on PACs compared to usage levels
The chart below shows how countries cluster together in terms of usage and the value placed on the service by users. There are five distinct clusters:o High usage, medium value – Denmark and Finlando Medium usage, medium/high value – UK, Latvia, Lithuania, Belgium, Netherlandso Low usage, high value – Portugal, Poland, Bulgariao Low usage, medium value – Spain, Czech Republic, Romania, Greece and Franceo Low usage, low value – Germany and Italy
My conclusions
• Be open-minded: look at people´s lives and at the society, not at your services
• The role of library as public space is important• Be people-oriented: from collection and transactions to
relations and communication• Not ”to people”, yes ”for people”, more ”with customers”,
and even ”by customers”• Intelligent and smart becomes social and intellectual through
users• The role of librarians important, but other specialists are
needed, too
