New Mobile Stats from Pew Internet: Cell Phones and American Adults + Sleeping With Your Phone (65% of Adults With Cell Phones Have Done It)

Indicadores de uso y participación en las revistas científicas 2.0
En plena canícula veraniega vio la luz en El Profesional de la Información un nuevo trabajo del grupo, en este caso acerca de las nuevas medidas de uso e indicadores 2.0 que se pueden utilizar para evaluar la actividad investigadora. Tomando la revista PLoS One como caso de estudio presentamos algunos datos que muestran la poca utilización hasta la fecha de las funcionalidades 2.0. Estas medidas se muestran (por el momento) poco maduras para la evaluación científica.Dice el abstract:Los nuevos entornos de publicación y comunicación científica han propiciado la aparición de nuevos indicadores Web.

Does Information Literacy matter in public libraries? (Louise Pieper)
Louise Pieper from Gold Coast Public Libraries talks about why abook club blog can build community and reduce social isolation. Public library users often resistant to more formal instruction in information literacy. Customers don’t want to lose face or to be seen as ignorant or illiterate. They don’t want to be at school.
Louse suggests that libraries: Be covert. be viral. Let information literacy seep through. Don’t call it information literacy, as it can be off putting. Look at ways of using web 2.0 to build information literacy skills covertly.
Their blog: Book coasters is a way of fostering l...

The Business Case for Enterprise Social Bookmarking: $4.6 Million a Year in Cost Savings!
A couple of weeks ago, the amazingly talented Dion Hinchcliffe put together a blog post under the title of “The 2010 Social Business Landscape” that would probably classify as one of the most insightful, resourceful and essential articles published during the course of this year that everyone in the industry should be reading. Yes, in case you may not have seen it, it is that good! Worth while your time, for sure!, specially, if you are into some amazing graphicware like this one. But, there is something missing from that article, don’t you think? Something that, in my opinion, is one of the fundamental p...

El bibliotecario en su encrucijada
Hace ya un tiempo, escribimos un texto en el que reflexionábamos sobre la dicotomía que se da en Biblioteconomía y Documentación, donde una buena cantidad de personas de “letras” se refugia entre libros impresos buscando una salida profesional donde cada vez es más importante el peso de las nuevas tecnologías en su desarrollo. Es posible que las reticencias iniciales que se dieron en la adopción de nuevas tendencias en la Web, se vean relajadas en un futuro no tan lejano cuando nuevas generaciones más habituadas a los ordenadores suplanten a las más timoratas por si el ordenador (sic) pudiese llegar a romperse...

Generation "Born into Web 2.0" Characteristics
I'd thought I'd throw out some characteristics of my son's generation rather than wait for ten years or so to see how they represent themselves in a Pew and American Life study. He's almost eleven years old. His is the generation that was born into web 2.0 and other advanced digital technology. I know this isn't true for all kids his age (and it may be more true for boys--I don't know), but it's fun to imagine:
Many of them would rather take videos than still pictures.
They either have themselves, or have a friend close in age, who has put up a video on YouTube.

Late last week you would remember how I put together a blog post where I started collecting a number of the Daily #iPad Apps that I keep sharing across over in Twitter, for those folks who may be potentially interested. Also as a good reference for myself, i.e. as part of my own personal knowledge sharing experience, so that I can keep going back and forth over time and see what I may have shared and what not, just in case I may need it for a future reference. Then, my good friend Barry Leiba mentioned, in the comments, how he would be “interested in reading more about specifically HOW the iPad fundamentally chang...

What will happen in the “blur”
In Mexico there is an area known as the ”blur”– the rare area where the water from caves underground mingle with water from the ocean.
A recent post by Jon Becker, “Who are the Thought Leaders in Educational Leadership?” reminds me of that rarified space where two entities mingle and create something new.
In his post, Jon challenged education leaders and scholars at the university level to connect with the social network of educators around the country.
Partly why I haven’t been able to quit thinking about his post was that I consider myself a pretty well-informed high scho...

How Playing Games at Work Will Help You Build Trust for Your Business
Yesterday I put together a blog post where I tried to share some further insights on how if today’s current corporate world would want to survive in the 21st century, it would probably need to start thinking about how to bring back again into the workplace the fun factor. Today’s knowledge workers surely are becoming more and more aware of the full amount of time they spend on “company time“, doing work, even more when the already thin line between work and personal lives is becoming blurrier than ever. To the point where a potential work / life integration may make it disappear altogether. So what ...

It has been a while now since the last progress report I have shared over here around the topic of living “A World Without Email“, that experiment that has been going on for over 2.5 years now, where one day I decided to give up on corporate email altogether and, instead, make heavier use of social networking tools to collaborate and share knowledge with other fellow knowledge workers. So I thought I would drop by today over here and share with you folks an update of how things are going, specially now that there seems to be a growing interest in demonstrating how social software tools are consistently not only...
