Proceedings of READIT-2009, Kalpakkam - 603 102, 29-30 Dec 2009 philosophy of academe, which is based upon a collegial sharing of information and new discoveries through the peer-reviewed academic publication process to share knowledge. “Perhaps the cultural disposition for open review and exchange among peers might support the current open-source courseware and knowledgeware movement in higher education and might encourage a greater volume of work in an open-source environment…” (Moore, 2002). Open initiatives in higher education have crystallized around three major areas of activity: 1. the creation of open source software and development tools; 2. the creation and provision of open course content; and 3. the development of standards and licensing tools. The outputs of all three may be grouped together under the term Open Educational Resources (OER). This term has been adopted by UNESCO to refer to the open provision of educational resources, enabled by information and communication technologies, for consultation, use and adaptation by a community of users for non-commercial purposes. The OER movement is breaking down barriers that have blocked access to academic content. Until recently, most electronic course content was locked up behind passwords within proprietary systems, noted the forum’s initial moderator, Sally Johnstone. OER represents a major step toward sharing teaching materials, methods and tools, just as academics have shared their work in scholarly papers for a long time. The result is to augment teaching resources while expanding knowledge opportunities for learners and faculty members. Participants stressed the importance of providing open, accessible and superior higher education content for a global community of teachers and scholars, students and lifelong learners. Whether OERs are categorized as ‘open access’ or ‘free content’, they collectively promote autonomy and self-reliance within the learning community. Without the constraints of time or geography, the power of education is released to combat economic, social and cultural obstacles. Through independent, self-determined learning and open academic content, the individual is able to grow intellectually beyond previous personal, institutional or local boundaries. Other benefits range from developing valuable work skills to engaging in life-enriching, lifelong learning (13). LIBRARY 2.0 AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 9 141
Proceedings of READIT-2009, Kalpakkam - 603 102, 29-30 Dec 2009 The internet phenomenon has changed many jobs. The role of librarians as information brokers in the organisation presents a professional development challenge to the library profession as a whole. Libraries face impatience from their organisations for transition to new and open methods for information service delivery, while facing the need to meet the challenge of professional development of library staff to familiarise with these new technologies. In rural areas, the information technology infrastructure and expertise of computer support staff to implement new technology is often inadequate to keep up with the pace of new developments. Professional development for library staff is necessary to implement change, although meetings are often difficult to arrange for logistical reasons. Teleconferencing and videoconferencing are used to enhance professional development. Nevertheless, change can be successfully achieved through the networking of resources and a willingness to confront the challenges of serving clients spread over a vast area. OPEN SOURCE USABILITY PROBLEMS Open source software has gained a reputation for reliability, efficiency, functionality that has surprised many people in the software engineering world. The Internet has facilitated the coordination of volunteer developers around the world to produce open source solutions that are market leaders in their sector (e.g. the Apache webserver). Usability is typically described in terms of five characteristics: ease of learning, efficiency of use, memorability, error frequency and severity, and subjective satisfaction (Nielsen, 1993). Improvements in the usability of OSS do not necessarily mean that such software will displace proprietary software from the desktop; there are many other factors involved, e.g. inertia, support, legislation, legacy systems etc. However improved usability is a necessary condition for such a spread. 142 10
