An enormous quantities of money have been spent in the digitalisation of cultural heritage, that are difficult to be accessed to the general public. The enrichment of these collections with human knowledge (the real living archives) through technological efficient tools can help to give value to all these digitised collections and make them accessible.
The Library Living Lab operates in different lines of work, aligned with current, real social challenges, which are updated periodically. Around these lines of work, a number of activities such as regular events, seminars, workshops or specific actions are taking place.
Currently, the Library Living Lab is developing the following 6 lines of work:
COLLABORATIVE CREATION IN 3D
JORDI GARCIA
The 3D printing technology opens a whole universe for creativity. Collaborative work is essential to integrate skills from people of very different profiles working in a common task. Both the dynamics and the final prototypes are object of study.
GLAM: LIBRARIES IN CONNECTION WITH MUSEUMS, ARCHIVES AND GALLERIES
DIMOSTHENIS KARATZAS
The walls between all the repositories science and arts are diluted thanks to the technology. This allows the inter-comunication between disciplines and the expansion of human knowledge.
EDUCATIONAL APPS
MARCOS CATALAN
Mobile technologies are pervasive nowadays. The identification of the best apps, and the study of the new protocols and methodologies are mostly needed for the efficient use of mobile technologies in regulated and un-regulated learning environments.
LINKING PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL DOCUMENTS
DIMOSTHENIS KARATZAS
Physical items, such as books, magazines or sheet music, share information with digital documents, but their are usually disconnected. Technological tools allow for an efficient merging of both types of objects and provides essential value to the recorded knowledge.
