Ocean state librarian - Bridging Information Resources

The information structure, architecture of Ocean State Librarian brings together traditional methods of information access with current best practices in technology. Knowledge pathways include: government & law , health sciences , historical societies , government and private archives, databases (using the broadest interpretation), libraries and museums , mapping , news , Rhode Island cities and towns , library marketing techniques and various iterations of search.

The central focus of OceanStateLibrarian.com is the information resources located in Rhode Island, USA with knowledge pathways leading to and from there. The peripheral focus includes knowledge management systems and experimental user interface designs (UI) - testing elements that may enhance the delivery of information.

Databases ☼ will be bound to the portal as they are developed. Special attention and emphasis will be given to the goal of providing end users with the guidance needed to effectively navigate the knowledge pathways.

This video was shot in Las Vegas

What are the applications for this touchscreen in library information settings? Could this be the future of reference and bibliographic services - representing 500 cubes or more of simultaneous information sources? How could this be used to instruct in real and virtual collection development in GSLIS settings? With so many information screens shrinking down to phone size - what sort of real world advantage is there for this application?
