PROJECT DIAMONDDeveloping know-how in
North Karelia public libraries
-
Public libraries in North Karelia (Finland) will move to the
free and open source Koha Integrated Library System (ILS) during
summer 2014. Simultaneously libraries start using one shared web
library. In changing technological environment the personnel will
need new skills.
Individuals trained in the project will develop their expertise
in order to better meet the new standards of working life as well
as the demand for technological development in the future.
Another important target group is library patrons. Patrons can
participate in developing both new web library and other library
services. One example is to set up customer panel and work with
them continuously.
North Karelia is sparsely populated, has long distances and
small library units - how to enable peripheral participation and to
create a professional network or how to take part in professional
development when working in a small unit?
The solution the instructor travels, not the students. This will
be carried out along with distance instruction, participation and
online communication via our own Moodle - open source learning
platform (discussion forum, study materials etc.)
