He would not say how he knows — but halfway through our lecture on the credibility and reliability of informants he revealed that the Roberts rumor was made up to show how someone you ordinarily think is credible and reliable (ie a law professor) can disseminate inaccurate information."Of course, all the students immediately text messaged, IM'ed, tweeted, or Facebooked all their friends and things just kind of snowballed.Wow, as easy as that.Or this (apologies to Gordon Lightfoot).All this technology and we are still as gullible as ever.

This month, 91,982 reference questions and 40,000 vetted, searchable electronic resource items later, the Internet Public Library celebrates its 15th anniversary. In conjunction with this event, The iSchool at Drexel will be hosting the Institute on the Future of Reference and its Impact on Library and Information Science Education March 15 -16, 2010. The institute is part of the IMLS grant Transforming the IPL into a Virtual Learning Laboratory. Faculty, students and staff from Drexel University , Florida State University, The University of Washington, The University of Illinois, The University of North Carolina, Syracuse University, and the Free Library of Philadelphia are among those participating in the institute. Additionally, two special open presentations have been planned in honor of this moment in the ipl2’s history. You can join the celebration as we reflect on the future of reference and its impact on the future of library and information science education. These presentations will be streamed live on video, with information also reported live on the ipl2 blog, Second Life, and Twitter.

There were those who embraced the term and started debating future iterations and the meanings of ‘Web 3.0’, ‘Web 4.0’, and even ‘Web 5.0’. Meanwhile, the other group labelled the 2.0 moniker as hype.One of the problems with the term Web 2.0 has been the lack of an explicit definition. In his seminal paper on the topic, Tim O’Reilly instead provided a list of features and technologies, such as using the web as a platform, and harnessing the wisdom of the crowd. The wide variety of features has led to arguments that Web 2.0 is vague enough to include everything on the web and as such means nothing. However, away from the details, the term ‘Web 2.0’ reflects a major shift in the way that users view the web: from a read-only web, to a read-write web.The term ‘Web 3.0’ reflects an equally momentous change in the way we view the web. Some of the possible avenues for the future include the 3D web, the semantic web, and the real world web. All have gained a lot of interest among library and information professionals. Virtual 3D worlds such as Second Life provide new places and ways to offer information and services. An increasingly semantic web offers the opportunity for access to increasing amounts of information from disparate sources. Meanwhile the real world web offers to integrate the web with the world around us. We are yet to see which of these will capture the imagination of library stakeholders to such an extent that it will reflect a new perspective in the way they see the web.The 3D webThe potential of a 3D web and a far richer web experience have been enabled by increases in computer processing power and higher bandwidth capabilities. ...

There was an interesting discussion recently on one of the JISC mailing lists about Web 2.0 technology and getting it into a library. This set me to thinking in a broader way about the barriers we find, and I tried to match those with solutions. I don't think I've identified all the barriers, and I'm sure that I've not identified all the solutions, but I've had a go. Some of the barriers that I considered are:"It's just a flash in the pan""We can't measure how effective this is""It's an IT issue and it's not your job""No, you can't do it"For the full list and my responses, take a read of the article on my website. If you have any more barriers, or better rebuttals, please share them - either in the comments here, or by using the social media bar at the foot of the article.

Ahora la gente participa y las empresas dedican profesionales a escuchar lo que se dice de ellas en la red.El desarrollo de la web 2.0 ha provocado la aparición de nuevos perfiles profesionales específicos de Internet. Se trata de personas que manejan bien las herramientas que han reconvertido la ya veterana World Wide Web en una plataforma para los nuevos medios sociales en los que el internauta no es un mero lector. Ahora se participa, propone y conversa en medios de comunicación que reclaman la formación de nuevas especialidades profesionales. Los perfiles de la web 2.0 no son programadores informáticos, ni webmaster o ni diseñadores. La segunda generación de profesionales en la red es heredera de la primera y se debe en gran medida a la eclosión de las redes sociales y los blogs.El Social Media Planer es el responsable de diseñar planes de comunicación en las redes sociales basados en estrategias que van más allá de la distribución de información corporativa de la empresa u organización para la que trabajan. Su apuesta es la de captar clientes, escuchar que es lo que demandan y fidelizarlos.Marketing en la redEste profesional debe diseñar un plan de marketing que defina en qué redes sociales y plataformas merece la pena estar (Twitter, Facebook, Tuenti, Flickr..), crear promociones, foros propios o incluso eventos específicos para el lanzamiento de un producto. Un caso destacado fue el de la marca Aquarius que lanzó su nuevo producto con un spot que se estrenó en la red Tuenti antes que en TV.

It was an attempt to explain a one-off reference in an earlier post - but not much earlier, as the "DBoI" post, as I call it, was just the sixty-third post of my then-early blogging career. (This is the 5,142nd, by comparison...) I had, in fact, been ruminating on this concept for over a year, driven by an Holy Sh*t moment in late 2001 when Google introduced its first ever Zeitgeist round up of trending search terms. Scanning the lists of rising and declining terms, I realized that Google - not to mention every other search engine, ISP, and most likely every government - had in their grasp a datastream that, were they to just pay attention, could quite possibly be the most potent signal of human intentions in the history of the world. Zeitgeist, it struck me, was proof that Google was indeed paying attention. I went on to write The Search, and Google went on to become, well, Google. My study of Google also led me to start Web 2, with Tim O'Reilly, and Federated Media, which I positioned as a media company that leveraged the impact of The Database of Intentions. But over the past few years, as I've labored in the fields of digital media and marketing - mostly through my work at FM - I've come to revise my concept of what The Database of Intentions truly is. In my initial description, I limited the concept to web search and web search alone: The Database of Intentions is simply this: The aggregate results of every search ever entered, every result list ever tendered, and every path taken as a result. At the time, that certainly seemed like a big enough idea. No such artifact had ever existed, and its implications were massive. ...

Cybersecurity policy includes strategy, policy, and standards regarding the security of and operations in cyberspace, and encompasses the full range of threat reduction, vulnerability reduction, deterrence, international engagement, incident response, resiliency, and recovery policies and activities, including computer network operations, information assurance, law enforcement, diplomacy, military, and intelligence missions as they relate to the security and stability of the global information and communications infrastructure. The scope does not include other information and communications policy unrelated to national security or securing the infrastructure. The review team of government cybersecurity experts engaged and received input from a broad cross-section of industry, academia, the civil liberties and privacy communities, State governments, international partners, and the Legislative and Executive Branches.

Being a librarian, my most recent example came reading the title of Bobbi Newman’s recent post, For Digital Natives There Is No Web 2.0. Yes, of course. For kids growing up with the internet of today, this is their Web 1.0 - because they’ve never known anything else. This is a total (probably long overdue) mindshift for me. My library is currently trying to figure out how to use Web 2.0 tools to reach kids in our community, and this one title changed the way I think about the task. We talk about tools kids may or may not use in their daily life, but for many kids, these tools are their daily lives. This realization actually makes our task easier, but it certainly raises the bar for how good a job we need to do. The video that prompted Bobbi’s post is below. She also points out in a subsequent post what a digital native is not.

En los últimos años, con el auge de las tecnologías participativas que son herramientas surgidas por el uso de la web social, se ha pensado en utilizarlas y aplicarlas a las bibliotecas para comunicarse, formar e informar , integrar al usuario en los servicios. Como consecuencia aparece el OPAC 2.0 u OPAC social: la transformación del rígido catálogo tradicional en uno más familiar para el usuario, un catálogo que aprovecha las ventajas que ofrece la web. El nuevo cambio, es la implementación de las tecnologías 2.0 permitiendo una mayor reutilización de sus contenidos y la participación de los usuarios.Este concepto ha sido estudiado con anterioridad por muchos autores y se puede entender como la aplicación de las tecnologías y las actitudes de la web 2.0 al catálogo bibliográfico. Es importante justificar la necesidad de este tipo de aplicaciones e identificar qué puede aportar la web a los OPAC. En este trabajo se realiza una reflexión acerca de lo que hoy debería ser el catálogo en línea de una biblioteca y no lo que realmente es en la mayoría de los casos: una caja de búsqueda con algunas posibilidades hipertextuales cuya filosofía está basada en una tradición bibliotecaria básicamente conservadora. La evolución de los OPACs se quedó estancada con la aparición de la Web e incluso sufrió un fuerte retroceso respecto a los sistemas existentes a comienzos de los 90. Sorprendentemente no se ha hecho casi nada en cuanto a su diseño aún a pesar de la extraordinaria evolución sufrida en la World Wide Web desde 1995. Una vez revisadas las propuestas actuales y los modelos existentes y en base a la bibliografía, se analizarán las funcionalidades deseables de un OPAC 2.0.

Serán personasconcretas, empleadoras y emprendedoras, las que “encuentren”mediante escucha, conversación y networking a profesionales con perfiles especialmente relacionados con elmundo de internet"En relación a los tradicionales portales web:"Los portales de empleo “clásicos” seguirán aumentando la socialización de sus servicios pero sin definir auténticas estrategias relacionadas con la Web 2.0." "Las empresas tendrán que hablar más de lo que le interesa a la gente y no tanto de sus productos y servicios" "tendrán que conectar con sus clientes a través de aquello que les interesa y pueda captar su atención" "muchas se lanzarán a crear proyectos en los que ofrezcan sus recursos a todos los clientes/usuarios y que sean ellos quienes decidan que desean hacer". "Ya no es tanto “mira que teléfono móvil acabo de lanzar”, sino “ahora vas a poder hablar con tus amigos en tiempo real gracias a esta aplicación que te regalo para que la utilices en tu móvil”. La gente ya no quiere hablar de lo que hacen las marcas, quiere hablar de cómo las marcas les ayudan para que su vida social sea mucho más plena"En cuanto a la administración 2.0:"Las administraciones públicas seguirán sin aprovechar el potencial social de la Red para aumentar la transparencia, escuchar a los ciudadanos y mejorar la calidad de los servicios."Y sobre la implicación de los funcionarios:El limitado desarrollo del socialmedia en lo público se deberá al control político y a las rigideces administrativas, pero también a la poca implicación de las personas: los trabajadores públicos. ...

LibaryThing, a company that has found a niche in adding value to existing library catalogs, has created a mobile app that can be used with almost any of the major automation platforms, allowing a broad range of libraries to create a mobile presence at a very low price. LibraryAnywhere, developed by LibraryThing, provides an inexpensive solution for libraries to engage their users with mobile devices. It includes features that will enable libraries to offer mobile users access to their online catalogs, including the ability to search the library’s collection and to perform services such as viewing currently charged items and to requesting or renewing materials. It’s designed to be a functional mobile online catalog with a reasonable set of features. No mobile interface offers the full set of capabilities found in full-fledged Web versions, but they attempt to focus on the features most needed and that can be operated through the more limited controls and keyboards of mobile devices. LibraryAnywhere also helps mobile users discover the libraries participating in the service. Features expected in subsequent versions include the ability to return search results in response to queries submitted through a simple SMS text message. LibraryThing designed LibraryAnywhere to work regardless of the automation system used by the library and for library users with all types of devices. It currently supports most of the major integrated library systems, including SirsiDynix Symphony, Horizon and Dynix sites using the HIP online catalog, Millennium from Innovative Interfaces, Destiny and InfoCentre from Follett Software Company, Voyager from Ex Libris, Polaris, and Alexandria. It also supports a wide range of mobile devices. ...

Use URIs to identify things. 2. Use HTTP URIs so that these things can be referred to and looked up (“dereference”) by people and user agents. 3. Provide useful information (i.e., a structured description — metadata) about the thing when its URI is dereferenced. 4. Include links to other, related URIs in the exposed data to improve discovery of other related information on the Web. Wot, no RDF? ;-) Anyway – here’s my take on what we have… building on my Parliamentary Committees Treemap, I thought I’d do something similar for the US 111st Congress Committees to produce something like this map for the House: I reused an algorithm I’d used to produce the UK Parliamentary committee maps: - grab the list of committees; - for each committee, grab the membership list for that committee. That is, I want to annotate one dataset with richer information from another one; I want to link different bits of data together… The “endpoint” I used to make the queries for the Congress committee map was the New York Time Congress API. The quickest way (for me) to get the data was to use a couple of Yahoo Pipes.

Soon the doors of universities and colleges will be flung open, and a stream of students will emerge. Somewhat pasty, a little dazed from the efforts of final exams and papers, they have only one thing on their minds – JOBS. The University of Toronto’s i-School has already had its job fair. Governments are starting the hunt for summer students, and new grads are looking for that first job. It’s a heady time for students and employers alike. I thought it would be appropriate to offer some reflections and tips for job hunters and employers. Are you in it for the long or short term? Job seekers: Think about what you’re looking for. Are you joining the organization looking for stability? Learning opportunities? Promotions? There are no wrong answers to this question, but you should give it thought before you walk into an interview. It’s very likely that you’ll be asked. Employers: It’s easy to assume we’re always looking for someone we can train and keep forever, but this isn’t always true. The impending retirement of a significant portion of the labour force means that succession planning is (or should be) top of mind. Are we looking for someone we can develop and build into a management role, or someone that we can count in that position for years to come? Is it realistic to think that every applicant is looking to put down roots? It is important to ask the applicants how they see the position fitting into their career strategy. You may not be their ultimate destination, but perhaps you can offer a quality learning experience, while benefiting from their energy and ideas. Get yourself known Students have many opportunities to get their names before employers – practica, co-op placements, involvement in student government can all be excellent ways for the profession to find you. Librarianship is more about your ability to make connections than it is about your ability to study. ...

Reprinted with permission from the Australian School Library Association Inc. (ASLA) Access 2010 24(1): 5. The evolving Web is an open and social place. The Web has changed everything. Its impact on every facet of our lives — home, work and school — would be difficult to measure but the ‘always on, always available’ Internet is certainly a game changer. Can you recall the first time you realised that the Internet would change your job? Your school? Your students? Dr Laurel Anne Clyde recognised the power and potential for emerging technologies in schools and spent time exploring the implications. As technology evolved, so did her research. Her work examining weblogs was one of the first scholarly endeavours with emerging Web 2.0 tools. Now many of us study and move in a world of hyperconnected spaces: Facebook, WordPress Multi- User Blog communities (WordPress MU), Flickr and any number of socially enabled sites. What a world Dr. Clyde would see today! Sadly, this world includes the fact that many libraries are suffering financial setbacks. The recent news that Australian school libraries are in dire need of support all too well illustrates that changes are needed. The press release from the Australian School Library Association (ASLA 2009) detailed the findings of a 2007 study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), including: That means ensuring there are enough qualified teacher librarians as well as maintaining and improving infrastructure. Having a new or refurbished school library is important, but the full potential of these resources cannot be realised without a qualified teacher librarian in place as well. This fact cannot be ignored. Schools need qualified librarians. ...

Unsere API ist fertig, bald mehr dazu im PaperC Blog. Entwickler sind willkommen. Im Blog finde ich zwar noch nichts, dafür hat sich Oliver Flimm aber schon ans Werk gemacht und PaperC in den KUG eingebunden. Das Ergebnis kann man sich u.a. bei diesem Prachtstück der Kataloganreicherung durch APIs ansehen. Frage am Rande: Warum heißt es eigentlich “eine” API? “Die” Schnittstelle?

Some of the possible avenues for the future include the 3D web, the semantic web, and the real world web. All have gained a lot of interest among library and information professionals. Virtual 3D worlds such as Second Life provide new places and ways to offer information and services. An increasingly semantic web offers the opportunity for access to increasing amounts of information from disparate sources. Meanwhile the real world web offers to integrate the web with the world around us. We are yet to see which of these will capture the imagination of library stakeholders to such an extent that it will reflect a new perspective in the way they see the web. [Snip] The three potential visions of the web discussed here are not mutually exclusive, but instead are likely to be combined in many as yet unthought-of combinations in the future, along with other new technologies. While Web 2.0 has been surrounded by a lot of hype and argument, we can’t get away from the fact that the way we use the web, as well as the content on it, has changed, and will continue to change in the future. Those who gain the most from the web will be those at the forefront of the change, not those playing catchup.

The new site is intended to be more user friendly and inclusive; it provides a variety of formats to locate online information from SFPL. For example, the online catalog of materials, with a query box located in the upper right hand corner of the Web site, enables patrons to search for materials using either the classic catalog or the new Explore catalog which leverages Web 2.0 technology to offer more items related to a search. "Among the major new enhancements to our Web site is the ability to offer a wealth of online resources and information to our diverse community, thanks to translated versions of web pages in Spanish and Chinese," said City Librarian Luis Herrera. SFPL staff devoted time to studying the needs of its patrons and the development of Web 2.0 features and then worked with Desite Design, a San Francisco web development firm, to execute and deploy the new online presence. The overall site offers a more modern display of information intended to keep library patrons and online visitors better informed about the variety of collections, programs, services and calendar of events provided by San Francisco Public Library. New links enable all to obtain quicker access to information such as dynamic listings of events linked by branch or by series of interest. Links on each event page make it easier to share information from the calendar. Users also can learn about current highlights at the library through a series of rotating spotlights on the home page. Online visitors can find information about the branches in the SFPL system by clicking to a dedicated page for each branch. The site also offers Library podcasts and videos and new photo gallery features. To enhance the user experience, the site is programmed with print settings that avoid wasting paper and the ability to change text size for readability. ...

As a profession (like Mr. Whitman), we are large and contain multitudes. There are librarians who are not so technologically-inclined, those who are pragmatists, and those who are technology fetishists. I’m over-simplifying of course, but each new tech tool requires us to assess on multiple levels: How can I use this? Is it useful to me? What about librarians in general? What about my coworkers? My patrons? Which of my patrons?  The answer will be different for every librarian and every library and may change over time (not so long ago, Twitter was more useful for librarians than their organizations, but now that it’s reached a critical mass, libraries are using it successfully to connect with patrons). Conventional wisdom is that librarians should try things personally or within the library before using a tool with the public. This often makes sense, though there are some notable exceptions – an internal blog requires a change in organizational communication, while a blog for the public can be maintained by incorporating a few extra tasks into staff workflow; a failed internal blog does not mean that blogs (and by extension, CMS) are a bad idea for communicating and connecting with the public. However, many of us used Facebook or Twitter as individuals before we created that fan page or library twitter account and found that our personal experimentation informed our professional presence online. Often, the workplace turns out to be the best place to test out new tools and toys. Would Google Wave be useful in planning a surprise party? Sure, but not if you have to provide tech support to a relative who only just got the hang of email. A new project can be an opportunity to try out a new technology within a concrete framework. ...

Over the last year, Twitter experienced its most phenomenal growth to date, fueled by the adoption of the communication network by highly visible and influential personalities that attracted legions of new users to establish one-to-many and ultimately many-to-many connections. But, then the meteoric ascent practically leveled-off… HubSpot released a new report that captures the state of the Twitterverse, opening a window that instantly transforms speculation into analysis and setting the stage for informed discourse and exploration. According to the report, Twitter’s user growth peaked at 13% in March 2009 falling to just 3.5% in October 2009. And while this is the most recent date for which HubSpot has access, it is revealing nonetheless.

Administratoren für spezielle Kategorien sollten dafür sorgen, dass nur geprüfte, “gute” Webseiten aufgenommen werden. Dadurch baute sich DMOZ einen sehr guten Ruf auf, der natürlich schwarze SEO-Schafe noch und nöcher anzog. Kürzlich konnte man sogar einen DMOZ-Eintrag (für 87 €!) bei Ebay ersteigern. Dazu kommt, dass manche Kategorien schon seit Jahren nicht mehr gepflegt wurden. Nichtsdestotrotz wird die Aufnahme einer Webseite in DMOZ nach wie vor von vielen Ranking-Tools und vielleicht sogar noch von Suchmaschinen als Qualitätsfaktor gewertet. Als Beispiel sei seitwert.de genannt. Wie Webranking.com nun berichtet, soll (eventuell noch in diesem Monat) ein Relaunch stattfinden. Wird ein Webkatalog wie DMOZ jedoch überhaupt noch noch benötigt? Die Verschiebung von Webkatalogen zu Suchmaschinen fand vor einigen Jahren statt. Aktuell zieht Facebook zumindest in den USA an Google in puncto generierter Traffic vorbei. Wenn man möchte, kann man also von vier Phasen der “Webseitenfindung” ausgehen: Die persönliche Empfehlung von Webseiten durch Freunde & Bekannte in direkter Kommunikation. Motto: “Guck mal, ich bin beim Surfen auf diese Webseite gestoßen.” Nachschlagen in Webkatalogen wie z.B. Altavista. Suchen in Suchmaschinen wie Yahoo oder Google. Die persönliche Empfehlung von Webseiten über Social Networks wie Facebook & Co. Auch wenn sich die Mechanismen geändert haben, ist die Übermittlung von Webfundstücken wieder an ihren Ursprung gelangt. Ein modernes DMOZ müsste sich diesen Gegebenheiten anpassen. Es dürfte also weder Moderatoren noch vorbestimmte Kategorien geben. Beides ist anachronistisch. ...

Because e-books are very frustrating.I've felt this way for a while, but my emotions have risen to surface following a talk given by Michael Porter at the recent Web 2.You conference. (I cribbed some phrases here from an e-mail that I wrote to him; hope he doesn't mind!) My library, like many academic libraries, has purchased thousands of e-books that are essentially PDFs to be read on the computer screen. Indeed, as Mark recently discussed, e-books are inevitable. At first, I thought, "ok, great, students can read books at home without having to borrow them from the library." The main drawback seemed to be the potential discomfort of reading off a screen. Professors, too, are excited by this type of e-book as it allows them to reduce the size and cost of their coursepacks and to lessen the burden of textbook prices on their students. But alas, it is too good to be true, as many other before me have found.My frustration especially arose after Michael Porter's exhortation for libraries to "give users what they want in the format they want" during the Web 2.You talk.On the one hand, many students are uncomfortable reading off screens and want their print books. A session at the 2009 EDUCAUSE conference reported on a user study that found that students exhibited emotional reactions to e-books, often describing feelings of psychological distress and confusion when reading them. They needed a tactile experience of annotating and seeing page numbers to feel like they were really reading. Although the students had an affinity for handheld devices, they expressed a preference for physical print books. These students were using "real" e-books on Sony Readers, but the interfaces for browser-based e-books are miles vis-à-vis clunky navigation. They also restrict printing and downloading.Even worse, many publishers and/or platforms place nonsensical limitations on concurrent users. ...

Fortunately, the article is still no less timely. This piece is an interview with Richard Nash, a theater-director-turned-publisher who has now launched a “social publishing” start-up called Cursor. Nash talks about Cursor and its goals, then goes on to discuss some of the broader implications of publishing meeting the kind of “Web 2.0” interactivity that is a hallmark of today’s Internet. It’s a fascinating article, and I highly recommend reading the whole thing. After the jump, I will discuss it and bring up some supporting examples. A Collaborative Cursor As Nash explains it, the intent of Cursor is to create the sort of peer-review writing circles that should be familiar to anyone who has written amateur or fan fiction on the Internet. So far, these circles have more or less evolved naturally, when a ‘net writer finds a few fans whose opinion he trusts and starts circulating his material by them for opinions prior to releasing it. (I’ve been part of several such groups, as writer or reader.) What Cursor plans to do is to make it possible to create that kind of collaborative environment—essentially, to identify or build a community around a writer’s work, then get that community as involved as possible in every aspect of creating that work. There is scope, definitely, for more classic collaborative writing. We’ll certainly permit that. But our instinct at the moment is that most writers want to write what they write individually. That collaboration is certainly useful here and there. It’s a great writing workshop tool. But basically, it’s designed to help individuals to write individual works. ...

Entre las ventajas de estas aplicaciones es que no necesitas instalar ningún programa, no tienes que preocuparte por publicar el archivo y son gratuitas. Nuestros estudiantes pueden utilizarlas sin mayores problemas para completar tareas relacionados a un curso. Chir.ps esta dirigida a añadir audio a las publicaciones en Twitter pero puede ser usado de forma independiente. Después de crear una cuenta en el sistema puedes comenzar a grabar un mensaje usando esta interfaz: Después de grabar el mensaje, añades lo que deseas que aparezca en Twitter y oprimes el botón de “Tweet Your Audio Now”. Si lo hacen más sencillo, lo dañan. El mensaje es procesado en pocos minutos y se publicará tanto en Twitter como en el portal del Chir.ps. Existe también la opción de subir un archivo en formato mp3 He creado un sitio en Chir.ps para añadir  algunos cuentos cortos. Los mensajes pueden ser descargados en formato mp3 pero no ofrecen un código para insertarlos en un blog o página web. Sin embargo, puedes usar un “player” para que se pueden escuchar desde el blog: [audio http://chir.ps/3FC.mp3 ] Para grabar un mensaje en Audioboo seleccionas entre el botón de grabar un mensaje en línea o subir un archivo en formato mp3: Si seleccionas la primera alternativa, se presentará una página en donde puedes comenzar a grabar el mensaje: Después de terminar de grabar el mensaje, añades un título y una etiqueta para describir el mismo: Incluso puedes incluir una imagen relacionada al mensaje: Si lo deseas pues también añadir tu localización: Finalmente, pulsas en el botón de “Publish”.

With all the new tools and variety of places to reach our audiences, we sometimes forget why we are trying to have conversations in the first place. Andy Servnovitz kicked off the conference bringing us back to the place we need to start from – the heart. His metaphor for marketing was the love process from first love to commitment. His message was not new but well received- if people love you, love your product, are excited about it, they will tell the world. And that kind of advertising will grow your organization.The one big question to ask is:WOULD ANYBODY TELL A FRIEND?If you had left the conference after that moment you would have had the wisdom you needed to turn around your marketing efforts for your library.Lately I’ve been having lots of discussions with people looking to improve their outcomes- increase event participation, improve circulation, expand a teen group, etc. Usually the conversation begin with the person telling me what they are doing and asks how they can get the word out to the public. And that’s where the problem begins.Marketing does not begin when you need to design a flyer or send a press release. It begins with a philosophy that treats customers’ opinions and needs with respect. And continues with a commitment to actively seek and listen to those opinions. Web 2.0 only provides the tools, without a philosophy that supports that kind of collaboration those tools are useless.If you haven’t been building that collaboration, don’t be discouraged; let yourself be inspired to take the first step. Andy’s talk inspired me. Here in NJ we're running a huge public awareness campaign that features some really big name athletes and authors and incredible prizes. We’d been working the campaign around getting people to talk about the champions and cool prizes and doing really well with it. ... Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0100 821896 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JohnBattellesSearchblog/~3/Qwz_DhUPbhA/005135.php (image ) A couple of days ago I riffed for bit on the convergence of conversation in our industry around mobile, local, real time, and social. Sometimes this stuff needs an easier name to identify it all, so I'm going to go with MOLRS (MObile Local Realtime Social).   Why another acronym? Because honestly, it reminds us to link all these concepts together. Often folks ask me for advice about their "mobile strategy." I remind them that if you are going to think about mobile, you have to think about social, local, and real time. Same for when someone asks about a real time strategy - real time usually means connecting through a social graph, often through a mobile platform and in a local context. And so on. So "MOLRS" is a reminder to think about all aspects of this next evolution of the web. Another reason - and this is a stretch, but it's Friday - is the rather obscure reference to third molars, or wisdom teeth. We humans get our "wisdom teeth" at about the same time we become true adults - when we're ready to take our place in society. These molars come in in our late teens or early 20s - post adolescence, as it were. And that's about where the web is right now. The emergence of the MOLRS web indicates a third wave of Internet evolution - first was the flat HTML web of the 1990s, second was the burgeoning post search web of 2000-2010 (Web 2.0), and now we're in the third wave - what Tim and I coined as "WebSquared" last year. Anyway, the funny thing about wisdom teeth is that they often get impacted, and have to be pulled. Evolutionary theory implies that we used to have larger mouths because we needed the third molars to process more plant materials (I'm not making this up). Now, I'm already stretching a metaphor here, but the truth is, the web is at a similar impaction (or inflection) point. ...

Good stuff there) recently posted Deconstructing Library 2.0 – and asked some good questions (I left a couple of comments). Jenny Levine at The Shifted Librarian responded with a whole blog post (yay! Jenny posted! Jenny posted!). I almost responded in her comments, but needed some more time to process my thoughts. I’m not sure they’re processed yet. But I’ll throw this out – maybe y’all can help, and add to the discussion! I’ll start us off with some observations from Jenny’s post. She quotes Andrew Burkhardt at the Information Tyrannosaur blog (yet another interesting blog to read) who said “The time has come for libraries to be social on the web. Social is the new normal. It has become mainstream and people expect it. Library 2.0 is not dead, it has just become boring and commonplace. And to quote Clay Shirky, “tools don’t get socially interesting until they get technologically boring.” Then Jenny goes on to say this: “The hard part, though, is that Library 2.0 doesn’t really replace anything … the opportunities these new tools afford us are in addition to everything we’re already doing, which causes problems, because we don’t get additional resources to implement them … That means being out in your community physically and digitally …” My question is – are we there yet? I don’t think so. Remember my recent Facebook post? I pointed out that successful library Facebook Pages have staff members actively pushing out content and participating with their users in Facebook. There were some shining examples, and there were some, for all practical purposes, dead pages, too. ...

Google is personalising everyone's search. Bing is taking over Yahoo. Exalead Labs is busy experimenting with new approaches to search. Image search options are expanding: creative commons, colour, similar images. More specialist search tools for the 'hidden web' are emerging, and social networks and Web 2.0 are now an essential part of the search mix. This workshop will look at the new services that are emerging and how to use them effectively to find relevant information" - 14 July 2010 - Manchester, UK - Course Presenter: Karen Blakeman (Source: Peter Scott's Library Blog) Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:04:56 +0100 821367 http://librarytwopointzero.blogspot.com/2010/02/is-library-20-dead.html With the closure today of Ning Library 2.0 happening today, the decrease in blog posts and increase in micro blogging, it seems that library 2.0 as a meme is on the demise. In some ways this is true.This maybe seen in the closure of the Ning site, in which Bill Drew said of its closure:-The network has not seen much traffic the last few months and most people requesting to join are posting profiles full of link spam. The return is no longer worth the work. I am not transferring it to anyone else......... It grew far beyond my wildest hopes. At one point it got over 50 posts a day but is now getting less than 4 posts a month.It seems that library 2.0 had lost its cadre of zest for many users. Although Bill points out many users and post joined at first this dropped. Without a conversation (and too much spam), people would disappear.Other area's where there seems a decline in what has been termed web 2.0 is a decline or at least change in blogging, especially with some of the early library 2.0 bloggers. Jenny Levine's Shifted Librarian has changed her blog into a lifestream rather than a blog. This she describes as:-lets me run a stripped-down version of my own personal Friend Feed (but without the comments on individual items). It totally rocks.Michael Casey's influential Librarycrunch has become the Michael Casey blog, therefore its become an individual blog, rather than a more group/borg blog.Brian Mathews blog the Ubiquitous librarian said recently:-However I’ve noticed a steady overall decline in post quantity in 2009. Walt probably has an algorithm to measure that. I think the probable cause is that many of us were moving past the newbie stage of librarianship and were really starting to sink our teeth into the profession. Now we’re just too busy for constant online reflection. Additionally, Facebook and Twitter have evolved to replace the long form narrative (blog posts) in favor of quick bursts of ideas. In many ways, the Library 2. ...

Oprichter Bill Drew liet deze week in een bericht weten dat hij de stekker uit dit internationale netwerk zal trekken omdat er te weinig activiteit zou zijn (ook in de subgroepen) en nieuwe leden vaak spammers blijken te zijn. Het netwerk als zodanig verdwijnt voorlopig nog niet maar nieuwe leden worden niet meer toegelaten en bestaande leden kunnen geen bijdragen meer plaatsen. Bill zoekt uit of hij het netwerk nog kan archiveren. Ik weet niet zo goed wat ik hier van moet denken. Het heeft altijd iets treurigs, als mooie initiatieven gestaakt worden. De mededeling maakt me ook nog eens duidelijk dat levendigheid op digitale platformen geen vanzelfsprekendheid is. Er zijn overal verschuivingen waar te nemen, ook op sociale nieuwssites en in de blogosfeer. Mensen die drie jaar terug zeer actief waren hoor je nu nauwelijks meer. Zij zoeken de inspiratie elders of zijn gewoon druk met andere zaken. Dat zie je in het echte leven ook vaak gebeuren. "I would never belong to a group that would accept someone like me as a member."-Groucho Marx- Update: ik zie nu dat Bill er nog iets over zegt op LIS News:I am not passing it along to someone else because my name is attached to it and I do not want it to turn into something I would not want to be associated with.

Yes, I know most of you would be able to differentiate between one and the other, if I would ask you to go ahead and define them all; however, two of the key characteristics that will define them all would those ones I have just shared above on all about the people and passion. And this is not the first time I blog on this very same topic; when most folks are talking about how social computing / networking is all about a new wave of social tools on the Internet that would help us become more productive while sharing our knowledge across and collaborating with our peers, I keep thinking that we should probably not make the same mistakes we have done over the decades in trying to justify such kind of movements as technology / tools based, because they aren’t. They are all about the people behind them, and tools are just that: tools. Enablers. And that’s where it all ends for them. And that’s when it gets really fascinating and exciting for us all! Did you have a look into my good friend’s, Chris Brogan’s, blog post titled "When This All Gets Cool"? If you haven’t, I would strongly suggest you take a look, because he has put together one of those articles that would surely resonate with you all quite a bit and won’t left you indifferent. ...

A recent Burson-Marsteller study found that 79 percent of the largest 100 companies in the Fortune Global 500 index are using at least one of the most popular social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or corporate blogs. Like the Fortune 100 study study found, Twitter is the social media platform of choice among the Fortune Global 100. The study found that 65 percent of the largest 100 international companies have active accounts on Twitter, 54 percent have a Facebook fan page, 50 percent have a YouTube channel, and one-third (33 percent) have corporate blogs. Only 20 percent of the major international companies are utilizing all four platforms to engage with stakeholders. Companies’ platform preferences also differed among regions. Companies based in the United States and Europe are more likely to use Twitter or Facebook than they were to have corporate blogs, while companies from Asia-Pacific were more likely to utilize corporate blogs than other forms of social media. However, Asian companies will use Twitter or Facebook to communicate with Western audiences (for example). It also appears that some companies are getting more comfortable using social media as they are interacting and engaging more and not just broadcasting corporate messages. Companies using Twitter are following an average of 731 people each and 38 percent of companies are responding to people’s tweets (for example here). Thirty-two percent have also “re-tweeted” or reposted comments user comments during the last week (like here). + Full Report (PDF; 6.6 MB) Source: Burson-Marsteller Hat tip: Sree Sreenivasan (Source: ResourceShelf) Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:45:48 +0100 820817 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/infoesfera/~3/sA_JAEWhHWc/es-un-hecho-que-el-uso-de-la-tecnologia.html Es un hecho que el uso de la tecnología en el aula, hoy en día, se hace necesario para poder lograr la motivación del alumnado y la identificación del mismo con el tema.A continuación te presentaremos algunos puntos a favor y en contra de convertir tu salón de clases en un aula 2.0.VentajasEl objetivo es lograr utilizar la tecnología al servicio de la educación y no la educación como una justificación para usar la tecnología.Ventajas para los alumnos y familias:- Los alumnos pueden trabajar con mayor autonomía, de manera individual y en grupo.- Posibilidad que los alumnos estén más activos en la clase.- Mayor atención y motivación por el aprendizaje, más ansia de saber, más preguntas por su parte.- Aumenta las posibilidades de la interacción del alumno con los medios que le rodean para aprender y con el profesor.- Los alumnos realizan más ejercicios en menor tiempo. No tienen que copiar enunciados, usar diferentes colores en la pregunta que en la respuesta, no tienen que perder tanto tiempo copiando. Ahora, es más fácil y rápido buscar el significado de una palabra que no entienden.- Para los alumnos las clases en las que se usan TIC son más "cortas". Me hablan de que el tiempo pasa más rápido que en otras asignaturas. Me comentan que lo pasan mejor (este dato es subjetivo, pero sí es satisfactorio en la práctica docente).- El alumno puede asumir roles que van desde el aprendiz, pasando por el colaborador, el ayudante del profesor (monitor) hasta el investigador (bien sólo o en grupo cooperando).Ventajas para el docente- Cambios en la motivación del profesorado: mayor compromiso en la búsqueda de nuevos modos de presentar cada tema.- Cambios en la interacción del profesorado con los alumnos.- Disponiendo además de un software de control de aula, es muy fácil orientar el trabajo que están haciendo al poder acceder a sus ordenadores. ...

Yet, President Obama’s recent budget has eliminated school library funding grants.   We need your help.  Students need your help. Please take some time this week to participate in a “Letters for Libraries” drive and send your voice to legislators.  It’s easy–just check out the wiki linked above, commit yourself to writing three letters to support school library funding this week and if you want, add yourself to the Letters for Libraries wiki map. The wiki provides more information about the cuts as well as a sample letter if needed.  Or share your own stories–the ways your own library is impacted by funding cuts or how it impacts students and teachers positively. Congress is meeting this week to discuss refunding the Elementary and Secondary Education Act so your support right now is critical.  Ask Congress to support funding the Improving Literacy for School Libraries and to include specific support for school libraries in ESEA funding. Your students need you. (Postscript:  It’d also be a great week to write in support of the National Writing Project, another very successful program whose funds are yet again in danger of being cut). ...

Desgraciadamente, en el entorno laboral en el que me muevo, todavía es necesario utilizar Explorer para algunas cosas, por lo que de vez en cuando me vuelvo a encontrar con esa interfaz y esa manera de hacer las cosas. Qué le vamos a hacer. Pero, qué duda cabe, Firefox es mi navegador por defecto el que utilizo el 95% de las ocasiones y del que doy gracias porque siga su desarrollo. Es cierto, puede ser un poco lento a la hora de arrancar, pero me animó que en su última versión (Firefox 3.6) se aligerase un poco y que, por defecto, casi te invitase a probar Personas, las plantillas de personalización de las que he cogido una un poco insulsa (Greyday), pero me recuerda a cierto entorno. Actualmente, tras algunas semanas de intensa utilización, mi navegador se mueve un poco más lento, pero no puedo dejar de usarlo. Creo profundamente en él, en la Fundación Mozilla que lo gestiona y en su inmensa comunidad. Miro de reojo las novedades que nos traerá Firefox 4 y sólo puedo alegrarme del viento fresco que supone Firefox en la Web. Pero este texto no iba encaminado a ensalzar las bondades de Firefox, sino más bien a contaros qué addons, o complementos, que tengo instalados en todos los Firefox que toco (es decir, en el trabajo o en casa). Estos pueden variar dependiendo del momento del año, en qué trabajo o proyecto ando metido y todas esas cosas, pero estos son básicamente los que no me pueden faltar y que considero que cualquier internauta puede encontrar interesantes: Adblock Plus.

März 2010 von 16:30-18:30 Ort: U.S. Embassy Berlin, Pariser Platz 2 Registration required NLT March 10: ircberlin(at)state.gov What’s the next big thing as we move into 2010? What technologies and trends should librarians be watching? What emerging trends are changing library services? What does a connected world of “continuous computing” mean for 21st century libraries? This presentation provides a roadmap toward becoming the “hyperlinked library” — transparent, participatory, playful, user-centered and human. Convening the tribe, mobile everything, community-building – all of these trends will be addressed. Join librarian and “Tame the Web” blogger Michael Stephens (tametheweb.com) for a discussion of ten technologies to be aware of in 2010 and beyond. About Michael Stephens: Dr. Michael Stephens is Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Dominican University in Illinois.

I must have forgotten to publish it… From Ten Techie Things 2006: Librarians & the Heart (the Emotional part of this post) Putting the personal into what we do! I honestly believe the best libraries of the future will encourgae the heart and librarians will put humanity into the library’s virtual presence. Stephen Abram noted that libraries are innovating yes but many are not yet moving in a new direction: “However, too many haven’t moved into the next generation strategies. Many fail to recognize that the majority of their use is often coming in virtually and they haven’t rebalanced their strategic efforts. Too many haven’t put the librarian and personal services into their virtual environments.” Think of your favorite blogs? Don’t they have a bit of that human, emotional element? Do your favorite library authors inspire you with feeling as well as biblio-hotness? This should carry to conferences as well. What presentations really got you going at the last conference you attended? Was there an emotional component? Ponder this: “The Sound of One Room Napping” : Conference speakers need to appeal to the rational side of their audience, of course. Humans are rational beings after all. But our evidence, proof and “facts” need to be placed in context and need to connect and appeal to the emotional too. Some argue that emotion is not necessarily irrational, that intelligence and emotion go hand in hand. And that may be. My point is that facts alone are rarely a sufficient condition for change or impact (though they are a necessary condition).

The American Association of School Librarians (AASL)  decided to change our job title. We’re going to be called School Librarians… again. The board of directors voted for the change at  January’s  midwinter meeting in Boston. The response has been heated. Response to the news: What’s in a Name?, LearnCentralWebinar Nancy White’s Calling All School Librarians! Cathy Nelson’s Techno Tuesday School Library Journal Many feel this name change represents a loss in a long-standing battle with our image . University of Washington I School professor and school library advocate  Mike Eisenberg responds, “To me, it’s retro – conjuring black and white images of stereotypical 1950s librarians.” My first response is one of fear.  Taking the words ” media specialist” out of my title will just give the powers that be (Board of Ed. or the state) more juice to eliminate my job. Public and academic libraries have held on to the traditional title without change through the years, so what’s the difference? In schools, we’re in a crises of unknown identity- Administration still doesn’t know exactly what we do. “Branding” the Name and the Space In New Jersey we are School Library Media Specialists- at least that’s what’s listed on our teaching certificates- but not necessarily the name listed in our outdated job descriptions and contracts. In other places the most common title is Teacher-Librarian. In a power-house packed webinar, called What’s in a Name?,  Mike Eisenberg encouraged us to find a consistent “brand” in what we do. Our librarians, our spaces, and our local and national organizations all have different names (i.e., Media Center, School Library, Information Center). ...

We concludeerden al snel dat het niet zo eenvoudig is om alles goed in kaart te brengen. Enerzijds is er een overzichtelijk pakket van structurele taken, anderzijds ben ik ad hoc betrokken bij allerlei projecten rondom de digitale en experimentele bibliotheek. Dat dit zou gaan gebeuren werd een paar jaar geleden al duidelijk maar tot 2009 werd ik vooral ingezet bij bestaande projecten en activiteiten, daarna vooral bij nieuwe. Dat is een logische ontwikkeling als je het Beleidsplan 2009-2013 bekijkt: de digitale bibliotheek is daarin de rode draad, terwijl het aantal formatieplaatsen dat zich geheel op die ontwikkelingen richt beperkt is. Ik beschouw dat laatste als onvermijdelijke gevolg van een organisatie in transformatie. Er wordt hard aan gewerkt maar nog lang niet alle ontwikkelingen zijn echt verankerd in de organisatie. Sommige ontwikkelingen laten zich ook niet goed vangen of verankeren. Dit weblog is zo'n ontwikkeling, maar dan eentje die al meer dan vier jaar geleden in gang werd gezet. Ik denk dat ik een van de eerste medewerkers in bibliotheekland was die structureel '8 uur per week kreeg' om te bloggen. Tijdens de nieuwjaarstoespraak 2010 was de directeur bijzonder lovend over het bereik en de statistieken van ZB Digitaal. Daar spreekt veel waardering uit. Het is ook zo dat de cijfers uit de Blognotitie van de zomer van 2007 er alleen maar beter op zijn geworden, veel beter zelfs, maar ondanks dat, en ondanks de waardering, raakt het blog 'in de vaart der volkeren' toch een beetje in de verdrukking. Het bloggen is gelukkig nog steeds geïntegreerd in mijn werkzaamheden maar het is ook nog steeds zo dat ik het grootste deel ervan thuis doe.

Three years ago what was interesting to me was that the definitions for each centered on the human interactions of sharing and idea exchange (discussion and collaboration) and the change I noted then was that the terminology had merely changed. Web 2.0 had moved mainstream enough, that people needed a less geeky (& more meaningful) moniker to call it by.But tonight, in updating my slides for my DMSW talk tomorrow, I discovered something much more interesting and I might add slightly disturbing. Take a look at the opening definition of social media now.* It’s no longer centered on human connections and conversation. The definition has taken on a definitive marketing slant and touts sm as the use of technologies to "transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many)." Yup, simply put, it seems that Social Media = Social Marketing. Anyway, here’s my updated slide with a new comparison of the definitions.I labeled this image file "scary.jpg" What do you think?

This podcast was produced by JISC in the UK. From the Summary: “There are now so many ways in which catalogue records can be re-used on the Web outside the formal library catalogue,” says Ben Wynne, the JISC programme manager responsible for this guidance. “This is great news for libraries and their users but, as in so many other areas, when it comes to copying and sharing data you need to be clear what you can and cannot do within the law.” Web 2.0 applications such as LibraryThing have opened up new ways for people to share records for their books and other information resources and for libraries to make them available for indexing by Web search engines. The aim of the guidance is to enable librarians to take a risk management approach to making their catalogue records available for re-use and to audit their current legal position.

And while this is a topic that I've talked a lot about in the last four years, I have to say that personally I've become a little numb to all the hype today that is around "social media." For me, many of the conversations and conferences around this topic seem to turn into a snake oil salesman dance. There are too many born-again marketers who seem to preach the gospel of the Facebook and Twitter while not in the least understanding that social media networking has never been about the product, the brand or the message -- in fact, it's actually never been about "media" at all-- It's is and always is simply about an individual's influence and personal relationships. Anyway, so I'm speaking Saturday morning -early - and dusting off a keynote I gave well over two years ago. I'll be updating it a bit, but I have to admit there are parts that I wish I could just completely throw out. The good parts that I like are about the Es the build and create relationships. The bad parts that I hate are the relatively few great library examples that I have to show the community garden approach. So now that I've ranted a bit, I bet you're wondering what my talk is going to be about. It's quite simply this ... that in order for your organization to flourish you have to stop approaching social media as a field of dreams and realize that it requires an organizational willingness to open-up and actively support community relationships that want and desire to organize their own community gardens.Related post: Web 2.0, Social Media ...

Now, I don’t remember who that librarian was so I’m going to share this with you all and hope that she’s reading In a recent post by Allie Jordan on LibraryTechTalk I learned that it is possible to put links in your Google Calendar events. Her post talks about how to use Google Docs & Calendar for event registration at your library. This tutorial is a must read if you’re using Google Apps in your library!!

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:55:14 +0100 819061 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/kkJF/~3/CoicZ0vaT8w/de-nieuwe-keen-een-interview.html Dit interview verscheen eerder in Digitale Bibliotheek 1,  2010. In Digitale Bibliotheek 3, 2009 stond een interview met David Weinberger, auteur van het boek Everything is miscellaneous. Dat artikel opende met de woorden “Weinberger is een veelgevraagde spreker, die vaak wordt neergezet als de tegenpool van Andrew Keen. Door dat te stellen doe je de man echter tekort. Als je de boeken en artikelen van Weinberger leest, en zijn indrukwekkende cv bekijkt, zul je begrijpen dat deze man veel serieuzer genomen zou moeten worden dan Keen.“ Dit tamelijk ongenuanceerde oordeel over de auteur van het boek De @-cultuur was een reactie op het feit dat de man die zichzelf graag presenteert als ‘The Anti Christ of Silicon Valley’ zelf ook niet bepaald genuanceerd is. Een willekeurige selectie uit interviews en lezingen die Keen sinds 2007 gaf leert ons dat de auteur bewust de confrontatie zoekt met iedereen die enthousiast is over sociale media en het internet zoals we het nu kennen. Hij beschreef Web 2.0 ooit als “een grote utopische beweging”, die amateurs gelijk stelt aan experts. Dat is volgens hem een bedreiging voor creativiteit en onze cultuur. Het is echter niet alleen dit tegengeluid waarmee Keen de aandacht op zich heeft weten te vestigen. Zijn boodschap krijgt ook veel bijval. Zo sprak hij in november 2009 op het NVB Jaarcongres in Ede en zagen wij dat de commentaren op weblogs achteraf opvallend mild waren. Na afloop schreef Keen zelfs op Twitter (hij is zelf een fervent twitteraar): “Librarians give the best audience #nvb09 especially Dutch librarians”. Voldoende reden voor Digitale Bibliotheek om de auteur te interviewen. Het gesprek vond plaats op 7 december, via Skype. Dag meneer Keen, leuk u eindelijk eens spreken! Ik begreep dat u werkt aan een nieuw boek, Digital Vertigo. Verloopt het voorspoedig? Wel, ik ben nog maar net aan het boek begonnen en ik kan er alleen aan werken in mijn vrije tijd. ...

(2010) "Web 2.0 Integration in Information Literacy Instruction: An Overview" Journal of academic librarianship, 36 (1), 32-40. "Survey and semi-structured interviews were conducted in this study to examine the adoption of the Web 2.0 technology in information literacy instruction. Findings suggest that librarians use Web 2.0 tools in three different levels, and overall it has a positive impact on teaching and learning" The 3 levels were: using them themselves, using them to deliver material, and a more interactive level.Pinto, M., Fernández-Marcial, V., and Gómez-Camarero, C.

But what happens when you are on the road, when you are constantly travelling away from your office into customer sites, or when you are stuck in an airport, for instance, and you are just looking for that expert that you know is out there and who may be the right person to help out? What happens then? Well, that’s when Collaboration In Your Pocket Is Here! Yes, that’s right! As more and more mobile devices, mainly smartphones, are starting to look with much more detail into the mobile Enterprise 2.0 world, we are beginning to see how plenty of our favourite social software tools for business are making it through and rather successfully. So eventually finding an expert, while you are on the road, or working remotely, is probably no longer the big issue it used to be. Check out the recent blog post that my good friend, Dennis McDonald put together on this very same subject and which I have referenced above already under Collaboration In Your Pocket Is Here! In that article Dennis states very clearly what are some of the biggest challenges that Mobile 2.0 has got ahead, if it would want to make it through successfully. To quote: "[...] We see in the demo nothing but the basic elements of enterprise expertise management — access to individuals and groups and the ability to locate and obtain access to needed expertise. These functions incorporate the essence of expertise management that I wrote about here and here back in 2006. Now, though, the tools and functionality have become more accessible, more streamlined, more user friendly, and much more mobile. ...

A new JISC toolkit helps librarians navigate the legal minefield of making their catalogue records available to others. "There are now so many ways in which catalogue records can be re-used on the Web outside the formal library catalogue,” says Ben Wynne, the JISC programme manager responsible for this guidance. “This is great news for libraries and their users but, as in so many other areas, when it comes to copying and sharing data you need to be clear what you can and cannot do within the law."

NARA has been on Flickr since February of 2009 and loaded 49 sets of images. As announced in a recent press release, on the first of February 2010 Flickr flipped the switch and all the images in the The U.S. National Archives’ photostream was shifted over into the Commons. The 49 sets are sorted into 4 collections: Historical Photographs and Documents (19 sets) – including NARA favorites like Rosie the Riveter and Nixon and Elvis and documents from regional archives across the country. DOCUMERICA Project by the Environmental Protection Agency (27 sets) – one set dedicated to top picks and the rest organized by photographer. Interestingly, NARA’s website has indexed the 15,000+ images from this project by subject and by location. I wonder how the picked which image from DOCUMERICA to port over to Flickr? Mathew Brady Civil War Photographs (2 sets) – currently 473 out of the 6,066 digitized Mathew Brady images are uploaded into the Commons. The images posted in the Commons are available in a much higher resolution than they are within ARC. A great example from this collection is the image of the Poplar Church (image shown to right) available as a 600 x 483 GIF on ARC and as a 3000 x 2416 JPG on Flickr. This image also has gotten a nice set of comments and tags. Development and Public Works (1 set) – the only set in this collection consists of images taken to support the Flathead Irrigation Project. “The Project was initiated to determine rights and distribute water originating on the Flathead Indian Agency in Montana to both tribal and non-tribal land.” These images seem to be the same resolution on both archives.gov and Flickr. In honor of this transition, NARA posted a new set of 220 Ansel Adams photographs. ... Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:57:51 +0100 820279 http://collectingmythoughts.blogspot.com/2010/02/im-not-early-adopter.html That's why I only recently joined Facebook. It sounded like junior high school to me--asking people to be your friend. Besides, with 12 blogs, who needed more on-line time? But, sign up I did, found lots of relatives, have put faces with names of church members, started a fan page, linked to news sources, and today I even tried to add the little widget thingy. In 2009 Facebook went from about 54 million registered users to 110 million. And it wasn't just registered users. Unique visitors, page views, and total time spent all increased by at least double. That's big. It's experiencing Zuckerberg's law.At the Web 2.0 Summit in November 2008, Facebook founder & CEO Mark Zuckerberg famously remarked “I would expect that next year, people will share twice as much information as they share this year, and next year, they will be sharing twice as much as they did the year before. That means that people are using Facebook, and the applications and the ecosystem, more and more.” In other words, once the network is in place and people are active and engaged, the dynamics of the social interaction taking place incentivize participants to share information about themselves more regularly, which in turn solicits more engagement from others, creating a virtuous cycle of interaction. With increased interaction comes newer and fresher content, which helps feeds the addiction to consume information about what’s happening with the lives of people in one’s social network.

It was similar to the talk of the same name I gave a few years back to the Jefferson County Public Library staff day. The goal is not for me to tell a public library how to use social software. First I don’t really know what a public library should do, and second, PPLD already has blogs, Twitter, etc. On the level of the institution, they have this stuff going on. My intention is more to talk about how I see the web now, especially the part that we still call the “social web” or “read/write web” or whatever. (One of my points is that this is really all just “the web,” as people don’t log into Facebook and say “I’m gonna get my web 2.0 on!”) I try and show that even for things that look trivial from outside, there is real communication happening between real people and real communities forming that transcend websites and screennames. I did the same talk twice in a row this morning, which was great, because it meant that it wasn’t the same talk. In the first session, I was too concerned about getting through what I’d planned to talk about. I think people enjoyed the talk–they were polite enough to say so, anyway–but after me gabbing for 45-50 minutes, no one was really interested in questions or discussion. I’d talked them into submission. For the second group, I didn’t wait until the end for questions. I picked a spot right after talking about this idea that social networks look different from the inside than they do from outside. At that point, I stopped and asked for comments and reactions, or for people to share their stories about their own use of online social networks. ...
