#publicsphere Libraries need to be social, and digitally desirable places.
Hacking with - not hacking in should be something that people are encouraged to do in schools and workplaces. Nick Gruen at #rtiqld
Libraryhack getting a positive rap now. Well done to everyone who used the library data. You helped push the concept of open data. #rtiqld
Not just about making available but empowering people to use the data is an issue for libraries. #rtiqld
Use AND re-use. Access is not enough if people can't use it in the ways that they might want. #rtiqld
Open data and user generated content are hot topics in Libraries at the moment. #rtiqld
Libraries have cut their teeth on releasing data in which copyright has expired. #rtiqld
Last speaker up now. Rory McLeod from SLQ will be talking Libraryhack as an example of a practical example of use of open data.
