Virtual Knowledge Studio

"The Virtual Knowledge Studio for the Humanities and Social Sciences (KNAW) supports researchers in the humanities and social sciences in the Netherlands in the creation of new scholarly practices and in their reflection on e-research in relation to their fields.

A core feature of the Virtual Knowledge Studio is the integration of design and analysis in a close cooperation between social scientists, humanities researchers, information technology experts and information scientists. This integrated approach provides insight in the way e-research can contribute to new research questions and methods."

CRADLE

Center for Research on Activity, Development and Learning – CRADLE. We are a multidisciplinary research unit, focused on transformations and learning in collective activity systems and individuals facing new societal, cultural and technological challenges. Our work is inspired by cultural-historical activity theory and more broadly sociocultural approaches to human development. We are a community of researchers based at University of Helsinki.

Talking with you...

http://ibec.ischool.washington.edu/static/ibeccat.aspx@subcat=teen%20programs&cat=projects.htm

"“Talking with You: Exploring Interpersonal Information-seeking” was recently funded by the National Science Foundation. The study explores why people turn to other people for everyday information ranging from finding new jobs and lower mortgages, to healthcare, housing, childcare, social activities, and other aspects of daily life. It aims to expand empirical and theoretical knowledge of interpersonal information-seeking with a long-term focus on devising ways for improving information systems."

Collaborative librarianship

http://www.collaborativelibrarianship.org/index.html

"Increasingly, libraries are moved to seek partnerships with other libraries, with other organizations in the information and technology fields, with other entities in our institutions, and with other groups and enterprises in our communities. While partnerships of all sorts have had a long history in the field of librarianship, today, as never before, there is greater urgency to develop and exploit library partnerships, and to think widely and creatively on new types of, and potentials for, partnerships.

Published materials appear from time to time on library cooperation and partnerships. Most recently, the America Library Association produced the volume, Burgett, James, John Hear and Linda L. Phillips. Collaborative Collection Development. A Practical Guide for Your Library (Chicago: ALA, 2004), 211 p. From time to time, articles appear in various library journals. These welcomed items provide insightful analyses of cases and opportunities of cooperative librarianship. At present, to my knowledge, there is no journal dedicated to the topic of cooperative librarianship, or dedicated to any aspect of resource sharing or coordinated library services.

As the issue rises in importance and urgency, perhaps now is the time to create an organum for treating consistently and comprehensively the matter of cooperative librarianship.

Features of Collaborative Librarianship include:

Open Access/Online Availability
Peer Reviewed Scholarly Articles
Better/Best practices
Engagement of a Wide Scope of Issues
library-to-library cooperation
sharing resources and expertise
library-to-business partnerships
local, regional, national and international collaboration
professional, consortium and association partnerships
history of library collaboration
The journal contains six sections: Editorials, Scholarly Articles, From the Field, Viewpoints, Reviews and News."
