VIdeocasting Boot Camp – Videos to Watch
Michael Porter and I taught a 3-hour preconference session today for the computers in libraries conference about video on the web for librarians. It was fun! During the session, we watched some videos and critiqued them … and had a huge list of other videos we wanted to watch, but didn’t have time for. So – here’s that list of videos. Enjoy!

Please can we stop killing things?
I have to agree with Asi Sharabi at No Man’s Blog: “Please can we stop killing things? Over the last few years we’ve been all guilty of new-technologies sensationalism. Our response to the overwhelming pace of change made us believe that emerging platforms and technologies will categorically and dramatically kill everything that was before them. Search for “TV is Dead” on google and you’ll get over 2million(!) results. But is it? really? (That clever dude who wrote a book on the death of TV advertising also founded a new agency that specialises in marketing in Second Life. No, really!) What else have ...

Computers in libraries 2009 - del 1
Det är tredje gången som jag är på computers in libraries i Arlington/Washington D.C. Det är en svulstig tillställning och programmet är späckat med pre- och postkonferenser samt 5 parallella spår varje dag i tre dagar. Trots det ekonomiska läget har CIL i år lockat över 2100 deltagare från 18 länder. Det finns gott om bloggare som följer konferensen och #cil2009 gäller för den som twittrar. De här inläggen från CIL riskerar att bli väldigt långa. Men de fungerar både som rapport och anteckningar för mig. Sorry. Key-note Inledande key-note var som vanligt Lee Rainie från Pew/Internet som talade un...

Master Feed for CiL2009
So I’ve tried to throw together a “master feed” for cil2009, which includes Twitter searches for both the #cil2009 and #cil009 hashtags, a flickr search for the tag cil2009, a Google Blog search for the same tag, and a Slideshare RSS for both the computers in libraries 2009 group and the overall tag. This should be a pretty good summary of the happenings, but if anyone notices something I forgot, leave it in the comments and I’ll add it to the Pipe. The Pipe should be publicly available here, and this should be the RSS feed URL. My suggestion is to go to the Pipe page to find what you want, though, ...

Spring Conferences
It’s January. The sky is gray. There’s freezing rain outside. Not nice. So, my thoughts drift off to spring and warmer climes. There are several conferences from Information Today, Inc. that should be really great. And, of course, I offer that opinion in a totally non-biased way, not because I’m speaking and/or involved in program planning! First up is computers in libraries (March 30 through April 1 at the Hyatt Regency, Crystal City), which is a 3-day, 5-track conference. It’s also got a "gaming & Gadgets Petting Zoo" on Sunday night and both pre- and post-conference workshops on Sun...

Association for Rural and Small Libraries Conference: "Tiny Libraries, Tiny Tech" by Jessamyn West
Association for Rural and Small Libraries Conference "Tiny Libraries, Tiny Tech" by Jessamyn West Jessamyn’s presentation started by explaining how in the libraries she consults with in Vermont, they are still starting with basic services: adequate bandwidth, multiple computers in libraries (instead of one the staff & users have to share), and getting library websites up. Who are the members of the public in small communities? In small towns, the libraries tend to be run by the public more directly than in larger areas. The promise of being able to interact and meet online can save libr...

Top Technology Trends from Sarah Houghton-Jan, ALA 2008
I had a lovely time presenting virtually, despite the sound issues on all ends. It still was a rather successful demonstration of virtual participation, and I think that was wonderful. Big thanks to Maurice York for organizing this for myself and Karen. I have 5 Trends I’d like to throw out there. I was able to cover three of them (#s 1-3) in the live presentation, but apparently the echo in the room made parts of what I said difficult to hear. So, here’s what I said verbatim, near as I can remember (plus the bonuses of #s 4 and 5). Let’s hit it. #1: Bandwidth Every library complains about bandwidth. Many peopl...

Using Technology for Balance Instead of Guilt
After the questions about gaming, the thing I’m asked about the most these days is how I balance work, home, and the crazy speed of the online world. For most of my professional career, the line between work and personal has been blurred, making it difficult to tell where one starts and the other ends. That wasn’t a new phenomenon (even for me, as this was true when I worked in a bookstore and a record store), but it’s been interesting to watch that line blur for librarians - and now the general public - around the internet. I think it’s pretty rare to watch the kind of shift we’ve all gone th...

This years computers in libraries Conference was another wonderful flurry of ideas, conversations and connections. Highlights for me included: 1. Seeing old colleagues and friends. 2.

Another Great CiL Conference
Once again I had a great time at the computers in libraries conference, even though I didn’t get to stay for the whole thing. I did a preconference with Aaron Schmidt on gaming that was our best one yet, and I got some great feedback about the “Hi Tech, Hi Touch” presentation I was asked to give. I want to give a special thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and made gaming night such a huge success that we’ve already been asked to do it again at Internet Librarian. Slides from my talks are up on my presentations wiki. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about them. As always, the be...

They showed a lengthy video showcasing some of the elements of their project: the games they played, the mission statements behind the program, and photos of people playing and checking out games. The goal of their program was to make the library more relevant to the lives of their users. They got a grant from LSTA for $69,000 to pay for the equipment, rese...

We know how to do this in our buildings: - Delft Public Library (DOK) - they have electronic based contextual digital signage (run off a Wii, of all things) - they integrate games, etc so it’s clear everything is content - iTunes booths - gaming is a social event - the social aspect happens around the games - not the games themselves Our jobs - connecting people in these spaces It’s not the tech - it’s the touch Clay Shirky’s ...

I’m recovering from a great weekend finishing up LIS768 in Minnesota - more projects will be posted soon — but now I am heading to the airport and to computers in libraries.

It’s about that time
Tomorrow morning, I hop on a plane and, with any luck, I’ll be in D.C. in time for the latter part of gaming Night at computers in libraries. You can see most of my agenda for the next few days over on the conference wiki. A number of people have asked me whether I plan to do anything Uncontrolled Vocabulary-related at the conference. Short answer is no, although I’ll have my headset with me. My experience is that it’s too difficult and too “outside the moment” to try and get a group together to do any sort of reflection/commentary on the experience while it’s still happening. The plan i...

My Take on SWIFT
Many of the librarians that I admire have chimed in on the ITI/computers in libraries/Otter Group debacle. I’ve read over lots of the documentation provided, including the FAQ that was mailed out to attempt to assuage our concerns. On the surface, the idea of a consolidated site for information on the conference seems like a good idea. So why the enormous pushback from the liberati? Several reasons: The first is the one that David Lee King and others pointed out…the licensing agreement for SWIFT was onerous, to say the least. While they have said the agreement is changing, there is no evidence of said changes y...
