Ideas page!
Enter Your Idea Here
Please add your initial idea as a comment on this page by 5pm, Monday 24th of September, 2012. Please include the following information:
- The name of the team/individual
- The names of the individuals and where they work
- A description of the idea and how you will implement it technically. Remember, it is not a requirement to produce working code (unless you really want to!)
- How long it would take to code, if you/someone hasn’t already written the code.
- A URI to some more information about the entry if possible
Please note: Anyone can post ideas here, but entries will only count if the entrant is able to present the idea live at on Day three of the workshop (if you have to present remotely, please contact Mahendra Mahey)
It would be good to have a global webcast conference on m-libraries in the upcoming year.
Hi there, I won’t be able to attend the pre-conference workshop but would be interested in feedback from people on how mobile can help deliver content from digitised collections in innovative and imaginative ways either as way to enhance teaching and learning or to promote an institution’s assets, such as special and unique collections – and the challenges too.
Good examples of this are the SCARLET project (Special Collections using Augmented Reality to Enhance Learning and Teaching, blog at http://teamscarlet.wordpress.com/) or from the commercial sector the work of Touch Press on apps such as The Waste Land http://www.touchpress.com/titles/thewasteland/ and Shakespeare’s Sonnets http://www.touchpress.com/titles/shakespeares-sonnets/.
The JISC Content portal http://www.jisc-content.ac.uk provides examples of collections that have been digitised with support from JISC.
Thanks For mentioning SCARLET Paola, I was part of the SCARLET team and I”m here for all of the conference so happy to talk to anyone about it, I’m also presenting on Wednesday.
GeoLocation Idea –
App that provides a research profile based on location, i.e. if a the river cam, you will find papers and researchers related to the river.

Usability and User Experience
A responsive website that ‘saves state’ so that if you are logged in, you can move between devices halfway through a session of browsing.
The requirement for this is supported by Google’s recent “Multi-screen world” report, which states that ““.
Usability and User Experience (UX)
1. Redirect google, internet searches to libraries and deliver library material in response to search.
