Guus van den Brekel

Virtual Research Networks: towards Research 2.0

In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks – with its extensive collaborative possibilities – will be dictating how users will search for, manage and exchange information. The network – evolved by technology – is changing the user’s behaviour and that will affect the future of information services. Many envision a possible leading role for libraries in collaboration and community building services.

About Guus van den Brekel

Portrait of Guus van den Brekel (Central medical library, UMCG)

Guus van den Brekel is a Medical Information Specialist as well as IT coordinator at the Central Medical Library of a large academic teaching hospital, the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) He is responsible for Library Services Development and Innovation.

Developing and delivering library services in the users workflow is his main focus. In workshops and presentations he delivers a strong plea for a focus-shift for librarians, a focus on the environments “where the users are”, instead of expecting them to come to the library.

The development of - and systematically offering - of “Library widgets” to users plus a Netvibes Universe for educational and instructional purpose is his latest project. The Web, Research, Virtual and Social Networks in Health and Medicine. The “Infectious Library” is the motto on his personal blog called DIGICMB.

Conor Galvin

Technologizing the higher education teaching and learning space; Red pills, Blue pills and Penguins

There is something of a rush over the past few years to pour technologies into the learning and teaching spaces in higher education. Everyone and everything must be digital, online and 24/7! The student-consumer is queen/king of this new order. While I am a passionate advocate of new technology and its usage in (university) education, I sometimes find myself wondering a little about what exactly we are letting loose in the world and the implications of this headlong rush to technologise. This talk rehearses some of these concerns and deals with elephants, penguins, millenials and – last but by no means least – librarians.
