http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/ Ariadne is a Web magazine for information professionals in archives, libraries and museums in all sectors. Since its inception in January 1996 it has attempted to keep the busy practitioner abreast of current digital library initiatives as well as technological developments further afield. It concentrated originally on reporting in depth to the information community at large on progress and developments within the UK Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib), covering matters such as information service developments and information networking issues worldwide. It now additionally reports on newer JISC-funded programmes and services as well as developments in the field of Museums, Libraries and Archives within the UK and abroad. en-gb (C) 1996-2010 - Ariadne (University of Bath) and original authors 2010-04-30 ariadne@ukoln.ac.uk http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/massam-et-al/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/massam-et-al/ Diana Massam, Andrew Priest and Caroline Williams describe a recent project to adapt the online Internet Detective tutorial, to deliver a user-friendly mobile site which reflects their market research into user preferences for mobile content. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/nogueira/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/nogueira/ Marta Nogueira describes how three Web 2.0 applications (Facebook, Flickr, YouTube) can work as a virtual extension for archives and other cultural organisations, by identifying benefits obtained from the use of Web 2.0 applications. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/paschoud/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/paschoud/ John Paschoud looks into identity and access management in the pre-digital and digital age, and describes how the JISC Identity Management Toolkit can help us manage identities better. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/paterson-low/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/paterson-low/ Lorraine Paterson and Boon Low highlight findings from the usability inspection report conducted for the JISC-funded research project, Usability and Contemporary User Experience in Digital Libraries (UX2.0). http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/ridolfo-et-al/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/ridolfo-et-al/ Jim Ridolfo, William Hart-Davidson and Michael McLeod present a case example on building a digital archive with cultural and scholarly stakeholder groups, to provide a model for balancing stakeholder needs. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/segbertElbert-fuegi/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/segbertElbert-fuegi/ Monika Segbert-Elbert and David Fuegi describe the National Library of Mongolia's plans to modernise its infrastructure and services. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/stevenson-ruddock/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/stevenson-ruddock/ Jane Stevenson and Bethan Ruddock describe the work that the Archives Hub team has been doing to promote the sharing of content. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/thompson/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/thompson/ Dave Thompson sets out the pragmatic approach to preferred file formats for long-term preservation used at the Wellcome Library. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/niso-d2d-rpt/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/niso-d2d-rpt/ Laura Akerman and Kim Durante report on Discovery to Delivery, Creating a First-Class User Experience, a NISO Forum on today's information seekers and current standards developments held in March 2010 at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/planets-2010-rome-rpt/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue63/planets-2010-rome-rpt/ Matthew Barr, Amir Bernstein, Clive Billenness and Manfred Thaller report on the final Planets training event Digital Preservation -
