Innovation



Inspiration space

• The space for meaningful experiences that is to say experiences that move us

• The space should open up to the irrational, emotional and chaotic by communicating a diversion of aesthetic experiences.

• This can happen through storytelling or other artistic expressions within all kinds of media, cultural forms and genres.

• The inspiration space should make the user want to move beyond the usual choices and to come back.

• The library space in itself may also be an experience and work as a stage for events and cultural arrangements.

• The inspiration space especially supports realisation (cognition)/experience and innovation.

Learning space

• Space where children, young people and adults can experience and explore the world and thus strengthen their competences and possibilities through free and easy access to information and knowledge

• Learning is seen as a dialogue oriented process that is based on the users’ own experiences and their wishes to define their own learning needs

• Often takes place in informal settings which do not have learning as the goal – learning happens through play, music and many other activities

• Should meet the needs of especially young people for a more experience oriented learning through the development of playful, interactive and social learning methods.

• Learning is strengthened through the use of homework cafes, study places, open courses and experiment areas.

• The learning space especially supports realisation (cognition)/experience and empowerment.

Meeting space

• An open, public space where citizens as a third space between home and work can meet others who are both as themselves and different from themselves

• Arenaes, where you can meet other people with different interests and values and encounter opinions that challenge you through discussions and debate, are necessary

• In the meeting space both non-committal, random encounters can take place through lounge décor with newspapers and café atmosphere as well as more organised meetings

• This can take place both live and on the Internet in chatgroups, blogs or other social media.

• The meeting space especially supports empowerment and engagement

Innovation


Performative space

• Users can interact with others for inspiration to create new creative expressions in the encounter with art and culture

• Users can get access to tools that support their creative expressions through interactive games and writing-, sound- and video-workshops

• The users can also get support in their creative expressions through workshops with professional artists, designers, multimedia developers etc.

• Can act as a platform for communication by publishing and distributing the work and products of the users and by giving access to stages where users can perform and express themselves.

• The performative space especially supports engagement and innovation. Knud Schulz November 2014 21

Open libraries Users are allowed to:

• lock into the library • check in and out media • use internet, pc,

copy/print • study • read newspapers • arrange study circles,

public meetings


Users are taking control and ownership


Integration of citizens’ service into libraries

• a big chance to be an integrated part of the reinventing of society services

• brings citizens in contact with the library

• brings libraries in close contact with politicians and innovators in the community

Two tasks • focus on speed in

developing new digital services for public administration

• a big learning and marketing challenge


Citizens’ service

• in more than 60 % of the municipalities offer citizens service through libraries – passport – driving licence – health securitycard


Developing community centers private, civic and public sector

Adaptive and innovative supporting spaces

• libraries are changing from storing books to supporting citizens’ needs

• innovation spaces for local communities



The strategy for changing

• The need for rethinking the library

• The need for a fusion between physical – virtual

• Develop partnerships • Focus on innovation • Get new skills into the library

and promote learning in the organization

• Force users to dismiss the book as library brand 32

Libraries and urban development

Model of the public library in urban

development

Casper Hvenegaard Henrik Jochumsen Dorte Skot-Hansen IVA – Royal School of Library and Information Science


New Libraries

• Libraries are signs or symbols on development and innovation in the society

• Drivers in city development • Add new stories about the towns • Arguments for large city engagements


Oslo

• Opera, new Munch museum and the Library creates a new waterfront and brings a new identity to the city


Helsinki

• The traffic and cultural life in midtown are reborn by creating a new art museum, concert hall and the new library


Birmingham

• The library is located on the main street where millions of people are passing every year

• The library is a symbol of the new identity of an old industrial and innovative city (the steam engine)

Modern library practice and strategies – means that roles

constantly change


Innovation Strategy

• Citizens are the focal point • Partnerships promote innovation • Transverse collaboration yields better results • Ideas must be tested • Replicate • Innovation is branding too • Idea development and innovation are creative

processes • Innovation requires prioritised resources • Innovation requires management focus and

commitment • Methodical innovation uses standards • Seven circles of innovation

Making in Libraries

• Contributes to activities that provide public value by stimulating the development of network, skills and innovation

• Contributes to the libraries' relationship with its local community

• Increases the social value of libraries, as public spaces that bridge between different communities and knowledge domains

• Challenges libraries strategic and managerial capacity for innovation


People’s Lab

Why partnerships?

Lack of resources and competences in libraries Knowledge, inspiration from others

Need of diversity, quality, research in service production

Communication and marketing New ambassadors


Mapping the network

Partnership clusters


Examples Strategic Partnerships

90


Seven Core Values

• The Citizen as Key Factor • Lifelong Learning and Unity • Diversity, co-operation and network • Culture and Experience • Bridging Citizen, Technology and

Knowledge • Flexible and Professional Organisation • A Sustainable Icon for Aarhus


Name competion = relations and ownership

• Open internet process – propose a name to the building

• result 1250 proposals • 30 names in open voting • 7 proposals ended up in the jury with

representives from the parties in the City Council



A name with a lot of co-creators


Branding goal

• Project finish at least 90% of all inhabitants knew about the project

• Autum 2013 – 75 % knew about the project UMS/Dokk1


Whats next?
