IOSSPL OFFICIAL VISITS
Back
The delegation of the Italian Ministry of Productive Activities (MAP) has visited
the Romanian libraries - part of the pilot public libraries in the IOSSPL
project - in order to obtain a closer view on the libraries activity and the
practical integration of the IOSSPL system - IBLA Soft - within the daily
informational workflows.
We have welcomed the official representatives of the Italian ministry and
presented to them the implementation of IBLA Soft at the pilot libraries,
as well as the integration of library activities, workflows,
catalogue
administration and asset management functions between different libraries
interconnected by vertical or horizontal hierarchic relationships.
We have organized meetings at the local mayoralties in order to discuss with
the Mayor and the authorities of the local communities about the aspects of
the public library integration within the community cultural and educational
environment.
By following this approach the library functions become interconnected with
the administrative functions conducted by the mayoralty and the local council,
with the educational institutions and other cultural institutions operating
in the local community, for a coherent and efficient cultural development and
synergy.
It can also ensure the web-integration of all the major institutions in the
local community under the same web interface - the Gateway of the local
community within the national web space.
The consultations with the technical experts delegated by the Italian
ministry (MAP) continued on-site for assessing the current implementations
and the possibility of further development.
We had an exchange of opinion and expertise with the Italian experts regarding
the next steps that could continue the IOSSPL research and development
work-plan, with several new R&D directions such as: the development of the
open-source system to provide mobile services and mobile payments for library
services and digital content, as well as the integration of advanced facilities
for visually impaired persons to access the library portal (adaptable multimodal
interfaces).
Another direction of development is the integration of an advanced Workflow
Management system - Triana open-source software environment - for facilitating
the automatic remote updates and technical support on a large scale.
