TabulaDecimal Lab 2.0: Designing a Testbed-based Virtual Learning Laboratory for Information and Documentation Management Software
No full textThe fundamental objective of the project TabulaDecimal Lab 2.0 is to design a Testbed-based Virtual Learning Laboratory for Information and Documentation Management Software; a virtual laboratory for the use, experimentation and learning of applications shared by students, faculty and companies in software production and distribution.
The goals of the TabulaDecimal Lab 2.0 project are:
1. To improve the orientation process in academic studies of Library Sciences and Documentation in professional environment and to facilitate the adaptation ICT.
2. To institutionalize a learning-model based on the online "Test-bed-based learning " concept
3. To create an online learning laboratory for developing of major concepts of testing and experimenting digital management products in librarianship and documentation.
4. To create a knowledge community network using a variety of online communication tools to support the interactions among students and professors of the faculty on one hand and experts in professional world on the other hand to share their interest in the use, experimentation and innovation.
Following the above goals there are four major objectives:
1. To identify, categorize and describe the digital content management programs that are used in different subjects in the Master in Management of Digital Contents as well as Bachelor's Degree in Information and Documentation since 2010.
2. To integrate all selected software applications with teaching activities and incorporate related information and communication resources for individual and group to elaborate on the application software learning activities.
3. To improve learning process through direct access to installed software and learning tools used is professional level.
4. To promote the exchange of knowledge and experience through TabulaDecimal among three target groups
Public libraries engaging communities through technology and innovation : Insights from the Library Living Lab
No full textPublic libraries have proven for centuries to be infrastructures both stable enough as reference centers for access to knowledge yet plastic enough to respond to the social changes of the communities they serve. In these present times of transformation, during which digitalization and the intensive use of technologies are modifying the way in which knowledge is produced, public libraries are facing new and disruptive challenges. The emergence of certain innovation ecosystems within libraries, which place the community at the center of cocreation and codesign processes between different agents, has transformed some public libraries into encountering spaces. The Library Living Lab, in the Miquel Batllori Public Library of Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona, Spain), is an expression of this systemic change. The following paper is a case study based on that sociotechnical infrastructure and analyzes, through two singular examples, how digital technologies can be drivers of social transformation when citizen engagement is placed at the center of innovation processes. The case study also provides insights into how public libraries may become key agents in fostering and strengthening social cohesion through situated, collective, and technology-based innovation practices

Capturing the value of design thinking in different innovation practices
No full textDesign thinking has become a popular notion in the field of innovation. What is design thinking really and—even more important—what could be its value in applying it in innovation practices? This paper presents four studies that together capture the value of design thinking in different early-stage innovation practices. Study 1 comprised a literature review on design thinking to form the basis of an agreed domain of discourse for design thinking in innovation. In Study 2, this shared domain of discourse was validated. This shared domain of discourse provided the input for Study 3, which investigated how innovators apply design thinking in early-stage innovation practices. It shows that the application of design thinking is dependent on the innovator’s aim for the project, his or her vision on innovation, and the main challenge s/he is facing. This combination of characteristics is termed an image of design thinking. The images frame the application design activities in the context of the specific innovation project. Study 4 successfully validated the four images and shows that the combination of the images and the agreed domain of discourse can serve as a common language and a tool that allow capturing the value of design thinking in early-stage innovation.</p
The Library Living Lab: A Collaborative Innovation Model for Public Libraries
No full textNew models of governance advance towards participatory schemes in which citizens not only play an active role in decision-making processes but also the processes by which new products and services are defined and introduced. In parallel, technological innovations, and the new horizons of creativity that they allow, open a huge range of options to innovation in all areas of society, particularly in the cultural field. Under these two premises – participation and innovation – the Library Living Lab initiative was born at the Public Library of Miquel Batllori Volpelleres in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona. The Library Living Lab is a space that gathers all stakeholders around the public library with the aim of exploring new methods and tools that allow us to enjoy culture both individually and collectively. This article describes how technology can be an enabling factor in a citizen-initiated grassroots project. The project implements a complete model of inter-institutional collaboration with all relevant actors around the living lab working group. The specific challenges of developing an open, flexible, and inter-connected space are identified, and the interaction dynamics based on a challenge–action–return methodology definition are described through practical examples. Our conclusions tackle the challenges of a horizon for the implementation of innovation initiatives – such as living labs – in public spaces
Festivals as Living Labs for System Innovation: Experiences from the interdisciplinary innovation programme DORP
No full textThe use of Living Labs is a promising approach to develop and test sustainable system innovations. A Living Lab approach that is yet to be discussed in literature, is that of a Festival Living Lab (FLL). Festivals can be considered as temporary mini societies with systemic sustainability challenges regarding water, energy, housing, logistics, waste management, food and behaviour. Since a festival is built up from scratch every time the event is hosted, adjustments can be made to its overarching system, and mutual interrelations between different aspects of the system can be experimented with. To evaluate the potential of FLLs as effective real-life experimentation settings for sustainable system innovation we present the Living Lab Activity Framework (LLAF), distinguishing various innovation stages and system levels. We deploy the LLAF to evaluate a selection of innovation projects within the DORP Festival Living Lab at the Welcome to The Village festival in The Netherlands, demonstrating that festivals can host various stages of the innovation process on different system levels.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Design for Sustainabilit
