  1. DRIVER & End User Functionalities Yannis Ioannidis University of Athens DRIVER-II Summit October 20, 2009 - Ghent

  2. Overview • Users – who are they and why should we care? • Digital repositories/libraries in today’s world • DRIVER for end users – the present • DRIVER for end users – the future DRIVER-II Summit , October 20, 2009 - Ghent

  3. End Users – Basic Needs • Too many sources of information! • How do I choose my sources of information? • Who gives me the best results? • Can I do something with the items I discover? • Convert them, transfer them, … • Visualize them in new ways • Share them with others • Collaborate through them with others • … DRIVER-II Summit , October 20, 2009 - Ghent

  4. Users – Multiple Facets • Individual Nature • Different interests • Different Roles • Social Nature • Sharing and collaborating • Future scientists are present social network citizens • Emerging new collaborative environments (e.g., Google Wave) DRIVER-II Summit , October 20, 2009 - Ghent
