Sponsor Strategy Update - EBSCO: A Focus on 'Open'

Chair: Dóra Gaálné Kalydy, Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary

Presenter: Marina Milovanovic - Vice President of Sales, Central & Eastern Europe, Central Asia & Caucasus Region | EBSCO Information Services

Much of EBSCO's work over the last few years has focused on ‘breaking down barriers.’ With FOLIO, we believe that libraries now face fewer obstacles and have more choice when implementing their library system as well as meeting current and future requirements. We have also been focused on improving how library users access, search, choose and use information on our platforms.

Join this session to learn how about how EBSCO supports open from research discovery to resource management.

Sponsor Strategy Update - OpenEdition: Understanding digital libraries as open spaces

Chair: Cécile Swiatek Cassafieres, University Library of Paris Nanterre, France

Presenter: Simon Dumas-Primbault, CNRS junior professor at OpenEdition, associate researcher at BnF

Building on an ongoing case study of how readers navigate the corpus of BnF Gallica and on a nascent project at OpenEdition, I will venture an understanding of digital libraries as open spaces at the crossroads of political spaces—with their governance resulting in choices and hierarchization of content—, mediatic spaces—made of interfaces framing their structure and use—, and experiential spaces—appropriated by readers in practice.

For example, the navigation of readers on Gallica is circumscribed within a large corpus of works in the public domain preserved for their patrimonial value, it is structured by a set of inherited taxonomies such as the cotation Clément or the Dewey Decimal Classification, and, finally, it is equipped with a single search engine and a dedicated online reader. As a consequence, actual reading practices hinge upon the articulation of these dimensions and the needs and habits of a great variety of audiences.

Paying attention to the readers informational practices as they are shaped by policies, interfaces, and uses, such a spatial understanding of digital libraries sheds light on how readers actively inhabit such spaces, depending on the values they embody. Eventually, this perspective hints at ways to go beyond the mere extractivism of search engines in order to foster discoverability.
