New Videos from the Department of Information Sciences

How about taking some time out in front of the screen during the Christmas holidays to watch the new videos from the Department of Information Science? What are the differences between the Canadian and German library systems? And how does a major website relaunch actually work? This and other exciting content awaits you in the new video formats.

Three new videos are being released just in time for the start of the Christmas holidays. In the video "Information(s)wissen – Die digitale Bibliothek verbrannte Bücher: Aus dem Maschinenraum eines Website-Relaunchs", Daniel Burckhardt from the Moses Mendelssohn Centre Potsdam (MMZ) provides insights into the challenges and processes surrounding the relaunch of the website verbrannte-buecher.de. The recorded public lecture from the 16th of May 2023 was part of the cooperation between the MMZ and the Department of Information Science at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam as part of the event series "The Book Burnings in the Culture of Remembrance".

The new episode of the entertaining video series "Auf ein Wort mit... Candice Dahl" serves as a teaser for an expert discussion with Candice Dahl, librarian at the University Library of the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Prof. Dr. Ulrike Wuttke from the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam leads through the interview, which was recorded on the 20th of April 2023. The video is supplemented by the long format "Information(s)wissen: Expert discussion with Candice Dahl". In conversation with Ulrike Wuttke, Candice Dahl expands on her remarks about the Canadian library system and also answers questions from the audience.

The Department of Information Sciences at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam addresses current issues and challenges of our time. The interview series "Auf ein Wort mit..." and "Information(s)wissen" offer a platform on which experts from practice and science share their opinions and expertise in order to create a better understanding of relevant topics. All videos are provided with a free licence for open reuse, e.g. as OER.
