Speaker:
The future of knowledge repositories: researching, collecting and teaching in the 21st century
During the last decade, the way we produce and handle knowledge as well as the relationship between knowledge and information have been subject to major changes due to the advent of digitisation and changing societal expectations. All institutions dealing with “the resource knowledge” are affected by these changes, especially archives, museums, libraries, universities and research institutions. Various areas need to be restructured for us to be able to meet the new challenges posed by digital and global user requirements and increasing information density. However, it is not only institutions that are affected. Our intellectual culture, our understanding of knowledge and our knowledge systems are also subject to fundamental changes.
