1000 issues Open Password (1)
After almost 35 years of “Password”
and “Open Password” many thanks to you and to all of you!
By Willi Bredemeier
Dear Open Password reader,
Here comes the 1000th edition of “Open Password”. I think this is a good reason to pause and realize how far we have come with “Open Password” (and the previous Password). And to ask about perspectives.
Especially since another anniversary is coming up. If you put “Password” and “Open Password” together, you could celebrate the 35th birthday of “(Open) Password” in just a few weeks. Because the first issue of Password appeared in January 1986. In Internet years – so much self-praise can be given the occasion – an almost unimaginable period of time.
Originally I only wanted to ask proven cooperation partners for a “review and outlook” and avoid using my own words. The contributions have now started coming in and have put me in an enthusiastic mood. Yes, I have been understood and I have achieved some of what I set out to do in the industry. A good reason to share these posts with you.
And yet the contributions of my partners need to be supplemented. Above all else, I have to say “thank you”.
_____________________________________________________
Without Michael Klems no edition of “Open Password” would have been published.
_____________________________________________________
The articles from my cooperation partners not only talk about Password, but also often about me as a person. No issue of Open Password would have been published if it hadn’t been for Michael Klems. Michael not only set up Open Password’s technical system, he was also always there when there were problems with the technical system. Typically, it went like this: As soon as I got upset, the damage was repaired. Michael also helped shape the editorial concept of “Open Password”, in many conversations and with many contributions from the everyday life of an information professional and his perspectives. When April 1st came around, it was time for a joke, and I was the first to laugh about it. Open Password readers may remember how Michael became seriously ill with Corona and wrote about his experiences with the virus after recovering.
However, there is one thing that we have not managed to achieve together in the years of “Open Password” so far, namely to get the information professionals to talk more and to ensure that they represent their interests better. After all, the “Stepping Templates for Corporate Success”, an event in which we both took part, is now in its tenth year. And the “mobilization” of information professionals is still on our “to-do” list and, who knows, maybe we will have a better and, why not, the decisive idea in 2022.
Thanks, Michael!

The quality of “Open Password” depends on the expertise, commitment and “passion” of its authors and interviewees.
_____________________________________________________
What would “(Open) Password” be without its authors and without its interviewees? This is particularly true for “(Open) Password” because, unlike its predecessor, it is less news-driven and more debate and author-driven. One could also simplify it by saying: “Open Password” is what its interview partners and authors say and write. The quality of their contributions depends on their expertise, their commitment and, although this can hardly be said in the scientific world, also on their “passion”. Last but not least, I see myself as a service agency for my authors, contributing to the quality of “Open Password” by editing texts and coordinating with the authors.
As early as 1985, I dreamed of expanding “Password” into a debate forum where new perspectives would open up in argumentative arguments about the better argument, which would ultimately make the industry, if not the world, better. With “Open Password” I came closer to my wishes, for example when it came to mobilizing the industry to save ZB MED, the future of information science or combating fake news by promoting information literacy.
To name just a few of my authors who have made “Open Password” and “Password” better on behalf of others: Sabine Graumann from Graumann Consulting, with whom I conducted market research and event organization from MSSTUDY to “Steilvorlagen”. operated and wrote about it – Elisabeth Simon from Simon-Verlag für Bibliothekswissen, with whom I put together a showcase of German-language information science and identified excellent libraries and excellently solved library tasks – Stephan Holländer, who wrote a lot for “Open Password” in the first few years and that What happened in Switzerland was transparent for us – Jasmin Schmitz from ZB MED, with whom, figuratively speaking, I moved from event to event and whose competence and reliability I could always rely on – Bernd Jörs and Winfried Gödert, who repeatedly proposed far-reaching reform proposals for who presented information science – Erda Lapp, who at the UB of the Ruhr University Bochum showed practically and in contributions to “Open Password” that library excellence is possible – Helga Schwarz, librarian and information scientist in Berlin, who always comes to us as an observer of the scene surprised with clever comments – and to remember the old days of “Password”, Wolfgang G. Stock and Mechtild Stock, who set up a kind of “TÜV” in “Password” for the central offerings of the information industry, later the doctoral students at Stock the information sciences in Düsseldorf: Violeta Trkulja. Katrin Weller. Isabella Peters. Dirk Lewandowski. And Jasmin Schmitz again.
Thank you very much, dear authors, whether they were mentioned here or remained unnamed!

There is hardly a provider with whom I have not cooperated and who has not supported me.

There is hardly a major provider on the German information market with whom I have not cooperated and who has not supported me over the last 35 years. The picture that GBI-Genios gave me hangs in my living room and shows me setting off for new shores in the VW van in the blazing sunshine. This seems to me to be a good metaphor for my change from “Password” to “Open access” and “Online Only” to “Open Password”.
I would like to mention Minesoft (London) as another provider here as a representative of all. I met your later CEO Ann Chapman-Daniels in December 1986 at Online Information in London. I have worked with her longer than with any other person in the information industry. In addition to reporting for Open Password, I teamed up with Jochen Lennhof from Minesoft Germany on another project completely outside the information industry by recruiting him as an author for the book I edited, “Books that moved us”.
Thank you very much to you and to all of you!
And to my readers, don’t I owe them most of all thanks? But yes, of course. We do it for you, for you.
A thousand greetings
to you and your Willi Bredemeier

From the enfant terrible of the documentary industry
to a trusted friend
Dear Willi,
It has now been around 22 years since I first heard about a Willi Bredemeier and a specialist magazine called “Password” during my training as a “scientific documentarian”. The articles in the magazine and the often controversial discussions about their content made me very curious about this ” enfant terrible” of the documentary industry.
But I only met you in 2014 during the preparations for a joint event as part of the Berlin Working Group on Information (BAK). At our first meeting, which took place in one of my favorite bars on Yorkstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg, I was very excited. But it turned into a wonderful evening in which we planned the event together with Walther Umstätter and Elisabeth Simon and laid the foundation for a friendship that continues to this day.
In 2016, the magazine “Password” became the online magazine “Open Password”. A magazine that I always had in my hand suddenly came online. I thought to myself whether this would work. We can see that it worked with today’s thousandth edition, on which I would like to warmly congratulate you. At our next meeting we have to toast this event with a glass of champagne and plan our third event together.
I estimate that we will celebrate the 1500th edition of “Open Password” together in 2024 and I look forward to it.
Yours, Tania Estler-Ziegler, Berlin Information Working Group (BAK)

FDM for self-study
and for all subject areas
Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear FDM enthusiasts!
From the winter semester 2021/22, a course on research data management (FDM) will be offered on the SUH’s Learnweb, for which students, researchers and employees of the university can register – at any time, regardless of location: https://hdl.handle.net/ 21.11101/0000-0007-F0A2-2
So far, over 155 researchers have registered here. You are also welcome to do so at any time if you have not already done so. I would like to remind you of this again in this newsletter. Individual FDM modules can be easily edited in Learnweb. Our colleague Jan-Timo Zimmermann provided the best possible support with the technical implementation. With the self-study course, SUH participants can get a solid overview of how to handle research data along the entire data life cycle and can ask questions in Moodle at any time.
The course covers topics from project planning to collection, analysis, storage and reuse through access. Within the “Persistent Identifiers” module, for example, you will learn how to make your data publication clearly identifiable and permanently discoverable. You will also be introduced to the persistent identifier ORCID for people. So far in the winter semester we have held two coffee lectures with around 60 participants each. The slides (as a backup of the results – with DOI of course – can be found on Zenodo under this Collection URL: Collection URL: https://zenodo.org/communities/ coffeelectures_fdm_hildesheim/
On Wednesday, November 24, 2021, Dr. rer. nat. Holger Eichelberger, Institute of Computer Science, Software Systems Engineering (SSE) department of the University of Hildesheim Foundation, will talk about the use of EASy-Producer in the IIP-Ecosphere: https://www.forschungsdaten.info/kalender-index/kalender-anzeige/ 2021/11/24/event/42186-Coffee-Lectures-Der-Eins/tx_cal_phpicalendar/ IIP -Ecosphere – Next Level Ecosphere for Intelligent Industrial Production https://sse.uni-hildesheim.de/forschung/projekte/iip-ecosphere / This will specifically focus on his research project and his research data management.
Interested parties and experts from the NFDI4Ing consortium will also take part: https://nfdi4ing.de/ NFDI4Ing has introduced structuring elements in a Germany-wide bottom-up process that represent classes of iFDM problems, the so-called archetypes. Archetypes cover specific, data-generating engineering activities, e.g. “the engineer who studies a system using tailored tools” or “the engineer who self-taught software development” or “the engineer who collects and works with field data”. For each of these engineer-specific archetypes, entitled Alex – Golo, the NFDI4Ing consortium develops solutions.
SUH use cases in particular are very interesting for researchers and research support (in libraries!) CROSS-DISCIPLINARY / INTERDISCIPLINARY and important for orientation and further development of the necessary infrastructure. That is why the institutes of ALL DEPARTMENTS are cordially invited here AGAIN.
With best regards in November, Annette Strauch-Davey, UB Uni Hildesheim
Mobile Internet use
Nothing works without my smartphone anymore
- Smartphone usage continues to be high, and screen time is increasing, especially among the younger target group
- The smartphone is the preferred communication channel and at the same time a knowledge broker, everyday helper, entertainer, fitness partner and wallet
(Add Alliance) Mobile internet use has become more advanced due to the corona pandemic – especially when using smartphones. A conclusion of the Ad Alliance’s current “Mobile 360° Study”. 96 percent of users reach for their smartphone several times a day, and especially in the young target group of those up to 29 years old (35%), screen time has increased to more than five hours a day.

Bridging the gap between diverse communication
_____________________________________________________
The form of everyday conversations has become much more diverse – in addition to writing text messages (82%) and emails (72%) as well as making phone calls (45%), social platforms (48%) and video calls (22%) have become more popular . The smartphone is the means to create a sense of community.
80 percent of men and 63 percent of women are not prepared to spend 1,000 euros or more on a smartphone. The average lifespan of a smartphone is 3.4 years. 62% prefer the same brand when making a new purchase.
The device favorite is an important link in maintaining relationships, especially during the pandemic phase. Communication (84%) and news and information (83%) are the main functions, with at least 26% using the possibilities of video telephony. After WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger (41%), Telegram (22%) and Signal (24%) are used the most. The latter recorded the largest increase (+16 percentage points), while Facebook Messenger lost six percentage points.

Contactless, but not cut off
_____________________________________________________
Your own home has simultaneously become an office, cinema, fitness studio, shopping center, restaurant and arcade and the smartphone takes on the role of an information and knowledge provider, entertainer, fitness partner, gaming device or even as a wallet. The increase in paid apps is correspondingly rapid: 42 percent (+30 percentage points) say they have them on their smartphone. People are willing to pay for them, especially if they have an important benefit (75%). One or two developments were certainly fueled by the pandemic – such as the rise of gaming and health apps. 47% said they had integrated a pedometer on their smartphone. 33 percent have their health insurance company’s app on their cell phone, 26 percent have a sports and workout app.
In addition to shopping and delivery service apps, apps that simplify the path to the digital and contactless payment world are becoming increasingly important. 24% use the option of mobile payment in stationary retail. PayPal (52%) is the most popular type of mobile payment, ahead of Apple Pay (45%), followed by Google Pay and Payback Pay (21%).

Germany has not yet arrived at the smart home
_____________________________________________________
26% are currently using smart components in their own four walls or could imagine doing so in the next six months. 33 percent say they can imagine their household becoming more connected in the future. 51% don’t want to be without their voice assistant, 41% use it to control various devices in their own home and 37% find it to make their lives easier (37%).
The smartphone is already an entertainment platform for every situation, the ultimate source of information and has the potential and technology for the smart home.
