Web 2.0: Addressing Institutional Barriers

This document discusses the shift towards personal clouds and the implications for users and institutions. It notes that users are either residents or visitors online and are increasingly bringing their own devices and infrastructure. This leads to issues around personalization, privacy, control and accuracy of user profiles. The solution is seen to be empowering users to control their own data through personal clouds and agents that act on their behalf. Libraries and institutions need to respond by supporting this shift and ensuring services work within users' personal clouds. Overall it argues for a more user-centric approach online.

This document discusses how elearning is changing with new technologies that allow users to access learning resources from anywhere using their own devices.

When staff and researchers leave their host institution, it is important to ensure they can continue their professional work and engage with their communities. They should develop lifelong skills to manage their digital assets, publications, and online identities beyond their institution. Institutions could help more by providing training and support for staff transitioning away, and ensuring important digital content is not lost.
