Programme group: New Institutions
Chairwoman Mai Aggerbeck
The programme group’s primary task is to ensure the safeguarding of the Ministry of Education’s institutions’ participation and wishes in relation to DEFF. Focus in this context has been that the action lines and the continuous development of these should be supported by dialogue. The overall framework includes the library perspective in relation to a society where knowledge and the knowledge concept feature on the agenda – and the impact the perspective will have for library and education in the work with knowledge and knowledge processes. The formulation of the programme area’s action lines and the concrete projects stem from these reflections that also contain the question of what kind of challenges the library function will be facing in the future. Finally, the aim is to implement systems and solutions which have been developed by the other programme areas.
Activities
New Institutions has in 2008 pursued the following activities within the programme area’s action lines:
Communication
Development of a communication strategy for New Institutions on the basis of a needs analysis with interviews. The objective has been fulfilled. Activities:
- Workshop with participation of librarians, instructors, library-, knowledge centre- and education directors
- Focus group interview with selected DEFF representatives
- Articles in the periodicals DF Revy, Magisterbladet, Uddannelsesbibliotekaren as well as various newsletters.
Information supply and knowledge management
Digitisation of relevant teaching resources and integration in teaching and guidance.
The library function becomes visible in new structures and forms of relations to the users and help to ensure that knowledge-sharing takes place with a view to dissemination in the organisations. Activities:
- E-book and e-scanning project: preliminary study completed
- PURE: adaptation of PURE to university colleges in Denmark has been started
- Knowledge and Information Community: development of an interactive learning repository has been started
- Data well project: New Institutions is represented in the project.
Information literacy and e-learning
Support for the building-up of students’ information literacy at all levels of education and in practice as well as contributions in terms of ideas development in relation to information literacy. The library function is included as a valuable resource in connection with the development of new experimental forms of teaching and guidance. Activities:
Future perspectives
In 2009 the programme group expects to examine the effect of the group’s work at all levels, to follow up on projects already launched and to develop networks and relations, internally as well as externally with a view to continued perspectivation and further development of the work. In concrete terms an extended implementation of adapted technological systems and solutions is expected as well as an intensified effort in relation to the up-grading of the library function as regards knowledge processes in local contexts.
Finally it is expected that New Institutions’ extension with representatives from the upper secondary school area and a representative from the research libraries will contribute towards further ideas development of the programme group’s action lines.
