“…We do not investigate in this paper whether resources of low quality simply receive no comments rather than negative comments Ð forming a reliable metric for quality of resources is beyond the scope of this paper.

Computer science educators, especially those in schools, often work in small departments which allow little support or sharing. This problem can be alleviated via virtual online communities that allow educators to support each other and share knowledge and teaching materials. Virtual communities experience varying levels of success or failure, and it is often not easy to determine the causes for these differences. Factors include social and technical aspects, and it is typically not trivial to attribute community behaviour clearly to one or the other. In this paper we describe the ÒColourRoomÓ software, a web-based platform to support virtual communities of educators. This software has been deployed to three distinct communities Ð educators using BlueJ, educators using Greenfoot, and UK computer science school teachers (regardless of software) Ð which affords a rare opportunity to analyse the usage of the same software in different communities, providing insights into both the communities and the design of software to support them.

Purpose This paper aims to analyse the phenomenon of smart libraries, which began in the 2000s, alongside the development of computer technology, digital storage the internet and human–computer interactions. The smart library is a system of library and information services developed to support research and training activity. This paper describes the need to introduce innovative library and information services at universities through users’ personal accounts. Design/methodology/approach An analysis of more than 200 publications mainly written by foreign scientists was conducted, given the dearth of Russian literature on the smart library and its services. The analysis revealed that in Western countries, the term smart library represents a wide range of meanings – from the understanding that it is a typical type of networking to assumptions about the total services provided by libraries in an urban environment. Findings The paper presents a review of both classical library services and those that are focused on the needs of modern education and science. Research limitations/implications The research results may be the best limited to university libraries. Practical implications The research results have practical use in the Library and Publishing Complex of the Siberian Federal University. Consequently, a new library information environment has been developed and integrated into the university’s information space. Social implications The research results have social use in Siberian Federal University. The personal account can be regarded as a functioning system of interaction and information exchange among the automated systems of the Library and Publishing Complex, automated learning management system and integrated educational environment. Originality/value This paper presents a certain set of technical solutions and some services available through personal accounts.
