My proposed talk for DLF was accepted. Here's the abstract:
-
Interactions of Emerging Gather/Create/Share End-User Tools with Digital Libraries
As the quality, quantity, and diversity of scholarly information grow, end-users tools to access and manage this bewildering array of information have been rapidly evolving. In this talk, we will summarize the range of current strategies and tools that enable users to effectively "gather, create, and share" digital information: next generation web browser technology (e.g., Mozilla FireFox and its extensions); personal information managers such as Chandler, web-services enabled- and XML-aware office suites (such as Microsoft Office 2003 and OpenOffice.org); academic projects such as the Scholar's Box, a tool we are building that enables users to gather resources from multiple digital repositories in order to create personal and themed collections and other reusable materials that can be shared with others for teaching and research; high profile open source "Collaboration and Learning Environment (CLE) software" such as Sakai; evolving next generation operating systems, such Microsoft Longhorn. We will analyze the implications of such end-user tools and environments on digital library infrastructure and technology.
