9. 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.

14. 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.

18. 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

21. 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.

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
Knud Schulz February 2014

82. Intelligent Libraries
How to work smart, efficient, and ad value to
products by creating improved logistics and
library services
On the project: Intelligent Material Management System
Information contact
Britta Bitsch, CEO Branch Libraries Aarhus Denmark
bbi@aarhus.dk
83. Introduction
• Intelligent Material Management System (IMMS)
• Making the most of your library materials, resources and
creating a platform for better library services
– Where are your books and other library materials?
– Where are they most needed? –in branch or among branches
– Are there enough books or other library materials on the
shelves?
– Where can loans of materials and returned library materials be
handled most efficiently?
• These and many other issues can be answered using IMMS.
Knud Schulz February 2014
83
84. Facts from current business
• 30 % of the staff in
Copenhagen is utilized with
logistics in regard to
material handling
• 25 % of all customer
why
inquiries at service desk are
subject to failure.
• An unresolved inquiry may
last up to 15 minutes
There’s room for
improvement!
• Up to 43 % materials are
not in its right places in the
library
Knud Schulz February 2014

85. Intelligent Material Management
System
Be in control of your collection
● Save time, cost and resources ● Innovate your book
presentation ● Improve customer service ●
Knud Schulz February 2014

87. Collection management
THERE’S A HUGE
POTENTIAL IN
LEARNING FROM
OTHERS – AND
GAIN PROVED BY
COMMERCIAL
INDUSTRIES
• Libraries can save up
to 15-40 % by
improving their stock
management
operations like
storage, handling and
transportation.
• 25 % less stock
Knud Schulz February 2014
87
88. The solution
• Detailed data collection of library operationsallowing historical analysis of trends
• Intelligent distribution of shared or floating
collections – materials are distributed to a
location/branch where there’s a demand
and/or space available!
• Central and locally managed data to make
informed decisions about collection
• Real time visibility to collection via smart
phone application- including on-line pick lists
on smart phone
• Introducing Material hotels - local or remote
storage of overflow, slow moving or off season
materials
• Automatic refill from the Material hotel when
shelves are low on materials
• Exact information on the current location of
Knud Schulz February 2014
88
any book or other library materials
89. IMMS – work flow and
smart phones
Without IMMS (before)
• With IMMS
• Printed reservation lists
• Risk of looking for the same
material at different locations
• Risk of looking for materials
not on the shelves
• Manuel sorting of materials
on every location
• High number of individual
material scanning (then
sending and receiving)
• Material visible in the library
system - even though it’s not
available on the shelves
• Online reservation lists with
predetermined collection path on
every location
• Prioritized pick up for reserved
materials (among available collection
groups)
• Online reservation lists only contains
materials on the shelves (and on
display)
• Very low numbers of material
scanning
• Material visible in the library system
WHEN the material is on the shelves
Knud Schulz February 2014
89
90. Benefits and added
values
• Intelligent distribution of collections to branch(es), based on volume,
copies, affiliation, etc.
• Share collections (entirely or partly) between branches as desired
• Exact degree of filling on shelves as desired
• Transparent overview of entire collections through all branches
• Exact position on each individual copy, including copy trace log
• Easy registration via RFID tags / Barcode (individual copies, shelves,
racks, stacks, cards, transporters, etc).
• Improved customer satisfaction
• Improved space utilization
• Reduced collection (less copies)
• No or less paper based Knud Schulz processes
