"Inspiring Learning for All" is a framework for a new program developed by the British Library for creating accessible learning in museums, archives and libraries. It is founded on four simple principles, which describe the characteristics of an accessible and inclusive organization: People (providing effective learning opportunities); places (creating accessible and inspiring learning environments); partnerships (building creative e-learning partnerships); and polices/plans/performance (placing learning at the heart of the institution). The framework is designed to stimulate professionals to focus on and improve the way learning is supported. Working from a broad definition of learning -- i.e., it is not related solely to formal curriculum, but rather to everyone's ability to access information, cultural resources or entertainment in order to develop as individuals -- the program recognizes that people learn in different ways and require a variety of stimuli to engage them in the learning process. It stresses that museums, libraries and archives need to remove barriers to access; cater for individual learning styles (not just ages); create exciting environments; use innovative methods; value learning experts; consult with users; and reach out to new users. The program will be discussed at the International Federation of Library Associations conference in August.

The British Library has done extensive research on the needs of tomorrow's networked knowledge society and has made recommendations for how librarians can adapt to provide users with the new kinds of service and support they will need. "At the British Library, we have introduced a market-facing approach to ensure that we align our services with the needs of our five key audience groups: researcher; business; library and information sector; learner; general public. We have also restructured internally to support our market-led strategy, and appointed a head of marketing for each audience group," writes British Library chief executive Lynne Brindley. The British Library has actively canvassed its patrons for suggestions, conducting focus groups and surveys with businesses and individual visitors. In response, it's developed a service geared toward the secure electronic delivery of documents to users' desktops, providing access to more than 100 million items under a copyright-compliant arrangement. In terms of managing digital resources, the British Library has focused on guaranteeing the integrity of the national published archive, says Brindley, "not least of which has been our work with publishers and other U.K. legal deposit libraries to secure the extension of legal deposit legislation to cover e-publications… (to) ensure the long-term preservation of our digital heritage." In addition, the British Library is planning to build a digital storage system that "will take any form of electronic material, and be highly scalable." In an effort to incorporate lessons learned from other institutions facing similar challenges, the British Library is active in a consortium that examines best practices in long-term preservation and is working with the Library of Congress and the Dutch National Library to share that knowledge.

British Library audio archive coming 04/16/2004 03:38 PM
The British Library is releasing a ton of audio from its archive on the Web -- though the article implies that it will only be available to higher education institutions.

Examples held on the British Library site include a live recording of Paul Robeson in Othello, Florence Nightingale speaking in one of the earliest sound recordings, as well as the genesis of Sherlock Holmes.

These historic recordings will be made freely available to further and higher education institutions in the UK and will include a wide range of materials, including classical and popular music, broadcast radio, oral history, and field and location recordings of traditional music.

The British Library agreed to sell access to its back catalog of books to Amazon.com . The move should expand users' access to the world of out of print books, by providing a wealth of information. The catalog:

contains 2.55 million books. Crucially it includes 1.7 million produced before the introduction in 1970 of the International Standard Book Number ( ISBN ), a 10-character code that uniquely identifies any modern book.

The British Library has embarked on a series of digital projects, recently, including a large digital archive of its historical materials, Collect Britain , a revamped website , and a national archive of digital materials .

Websites Who Want To Remain Bad

Websites Who Want To Remain Bad 07/20/2004 12:40 PM
Sometimes you have to wonder what certain companies or organizations are thinking. A few years ago, when Ellis Island put their records online, they had a dreadful interface. A genealogist with the skill and the time, created a new, much more user friendly front end that quickly became the preferred way for many genealogists to search the site. Of course, Ellis Island then threatened to sue him to shut down the site. The same thing seems to be playing itself out over in the UK, where someone who had problems with Odeon Cinemas' website built a better version (one that would actually work in non-IE browsers). For his troubles in helping them completely for free and bringing more business to them, he received a cease and desist letter. No wonder no one wants to help anyone out any more. You might get sued.

Don't Visit Websites With Microsoft IE

Don't Visit Websites With Microsoft IE 06/25/2004 02:33 AM
It really is getting ridiculously dangerous these days for anyone to keep using Microsoft IE. People always talk about the day when scammers will start to use "zero day exploits" to smash through security holes before they're patched, and that's clearly already happening. The latest move, which is fairly advanced (and many assume is being done by organized crime groups in Eastern Europe) is to hack into a variety of popular company websites and install some code to exploit a known IE vulnerability that has not been patched by Microsoft. Once this is done, any IE user visiting any of these websites (which they obviously would assume to be safe based on the companies involved) ends up with some of the most insidious keylogging spyware. The article won't list the companies, but from the descriptions they sound like sites anyone might visit on a regular basis (banks, auction sites and comparison shopping engines). This sounds quite similar to the Interla nd hack from last year, but could impact many more users.
