It will be global, open and collaborative, dynamic and adoptive, frictionless and consistent. Information communication technologies (ICT) will be one of the essential presuppositions for successful business development. All industries will be affected by such kind transformations and construction sector is not an exception.Problem: e-Business use in construction sector is very limited comparing with other industries analysed in e-Business W@tch (2005). Most of companies prefer reactive activities to active ones in terms of ICT use. Such situation might be explained by particularities of services provided and construction processes and by slow penetration of ICT in sector there dominates SMEs. The main objective of EU funded project e-NVISION is the development and validation of an innovative e-Business platform enabling Construction SMEs to model and adapt particular business scenarios; to integrate all their enterprise applications and to incorporate legal, economical, social and cultural services, with the final goal of facilitating their participation in the Future European e-Business Scenario.The aim: to identify most important internal processes of construction SMEs and to evaluate possibilities to use ICT to optimise those processes

Multiple criteria assessment of apartment building performance for refurbishment purposes

The selection of buildings for refurbishment is a multi-objective problem and it should be based on integrated assessment of the current performance of the buildings. Accurate assessment allows the development of strategies for the optimisation of building performance and the selection of appropriate and most efficient refurbishment measures. This paper presents a computer-based integrated building performance assessment methodology based on the multiple-criteria approach. A case study from the Šiauliai district, Lithuania, illustrates the proposed methodology in use. The assessment results indicate what are the worst performing buildings and help with the selection of appropriate refurbishment measures and estimation of possible outcomes

Подготовка высококвалифицированных библиотечных специалистов в университете

Attempts to organize higher library education in Lithuania were made long ago. An epizodic course in bibliography was read in the old Vilnius University in 1829–1830.After the restoration of Soviet power in Lituania in 1940 the Chair of bibliology was established at Vilnius State University, the course of bibliography was read. Lectures to start the preparation of skilled librarians and bibliographers were planed to read begining from the autumn of 1941. The work was interrupted by the war and nazi occupation.The department of Librarianship was founded at Vilnius State University in 1949 (the Librarianship Chair in 1952; the Scientific Information Chair in 1973). During a short period the Chairs achieved good results in various branches. They developed the scientific and research activity in librarianship and bibliography and gave skilled specialists for the libraries of our republic.During the last years more than 2000 specialists were trained in the University. They were appointed to work in different public, children, school, scientific, special and technical libraries, in scientific information offices.The great experience of library staff training gathering in for 40 years in the USSR’ universities shows that librarian’s profession does not contradict to the conception of university education.

Socioedukaciniai žinių vadybos aspektai: patyrimo bendruomenių formavimas

Vienas iš veiksmingiausių būdų paspartinti ir išplėtoti organizacinį mokymąsi yra patyrimo bendruomenių formavimas. Straipsnyje aktualizuojamas edukologinis patyrimo bendruomenių svarbos kontekstas. Analizuojant modernių žinių vadybos metodų taikymo galimybes, pateikiamos principinės inicijuojamo požiūrio nuostatos. Patyrimo bendruomenės ypač naudingos ten, kur dalykinės-disciplininės komandos yra organizacijos struktūros pagrindas. Tokiose organizacijose darbuotojai dažniausiai bendrauja tik su komandos nariais, kurių specializacija skirtinga. Tai stiprina projektų koordinavimą ir dalijimąsi žiniomis, tačiau gali atriboti komandos narius nuo kitų organizacijos darbuotojų, atliekančių panašaus pobūdžio darbus ar turinčius analogiško dalyko žinių. Patyrimo bendruomenės yra vienas iš būdų optimizuoti veiklas suvienijant darbuotojus bei išlaikant ir skatinant įvairių funkcinių komandų bendradarbiavimo veiksmingumą
