Umimirai Library

Bibliotheksbau einer Öffentlichen Bibliothek in Japan durch das Archtitektur Coelacanth-K&H
Der Bibliotheksbau erinnert an eine dreistöckige “Cake Box”.

The building is a large white box perforated with hole-punched windows that light up the interiors naturally in the day and at night glow out like portholes of a giant ship. There is a maritime feel to the place, probably unintended, or maybe since it was designed by a firm whose name evokes the ancient deep sea the contrary feelings of floating and drifting and being submerged are all by design.

We know that so often our libraries and museums are doing the critical work to help us achieve those goals in the first place. We can’t get to our goals without the work that you all do on the ground. […]But the services that you all provide are not luxuries; just the opposite. Every day, your institutions are keeping so many folks in this country from falling through the cracks.” Michelle Obama

Der Library Compass – eine Wissensreise für Öffentliche Bibliotheken in digitalen Zeiten

Für Bibliotheken sind digitale Technologien Fluch und Segen zugleich. Der “Library Compass” ist ein Navigationsassistent, der Bibliotheksnutzern beim Suchen, Finden und bei der Schaffung von Verbindungen hilft. Der Service verbindet Nutzer/-innen und Bibliothekare mit kontextbezogener Information, welche auf, die an den Ort  und an Nutzerdaten gebunden ist. Dies schließt die Lücke zwischen digitalen und traditonellen Medien durch die Beacon-Lokalisation und einer Smartphone App. Der Library Compass vereinfacht Augaben, spart Zeit und bereichert die Nutzererfahrung und kann eine lokale Wissensplattform bilden.

[Zitat] Unkommentiert – 1920-1992

“It isn’t just a library. It is a space ship that will take you to the farthest reaches of the Universe, a time machine that will take you to the far past and the far future, a teacher that knows more than any human being, a friend that will amuse you and console you — and most of all, a gateway, to a better and happier and more useful life.” Isaac Asimov
