Reading convergence – how five trends will reshape the social sector

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:47:37 -0800

This morning, I discovered a blog I hadn’t heard of before – the Leading Blog, at leadershipnow.com (subscribed). The post that interested me pointed to a report just released by La Piana Consulting, titled Convergence: How Five Trends Will Reshape the Social Sector. Here’s a blurb from the report: “For the nonprofit sector to survive and thrive, everyone – nonprofits, fudners, and capacity builders alike – must become futurists. … being attuned to rapid and continual shifts in the environment; continually evaluating and interpreting how organizations can best adapt; and experimenting with new responses and approaches. Being a futurist requires both individual and institutional curiosity, and a willingness to take risks. No one of us can afford to rest on our laurels, assuming that the old ways of doing business will continue to serve us in this dramatically new and ever-changing environment.” It goes on to discuss “five key trends converging to reshape the social sector”: demographic shifts redefine participation technological advances abound networks enable work to be organized in new ways interest in civic engagement and volunteerism is rising sector boundaries are blurring Interesting reading, so far – looks like the non-profit sector is dealing with very similar issues to us libraries!

Community discussion guidelines for our digital branch

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:06:05 -0800

Remember my post from last summer about comments at my library’s website? Here’s a follow-up post to that earlier discussion. Because of all those comments (some of which were mean, snarky and personal), we needed a good, fair, “official” way to deal with them. So I started poking around other websites with commenting policies and guidelines, and came up with a library version of commenting guidelines. I ended up adapting ours from NPR’s Community Discussion Rules. Want to see a whole bunch of these? Check out the Online Database of Social Media Policies – good stuff. Our discussion guidelines are posted (via a link) beside the comment box on each page of our website. Here’s what it says: ******************************* Community Discussion Guidelines: Here are some guidelines to posting comments and content at Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library’s digital branch. The goal? To help you have fun! We encourage comments: We want to hear from you! Please post comments, questions, and other thoughts … as you think them. That’s what we’re here for.

Library 2.0 gang 11/09: the cataloguing services landscape

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:02:25 -0800

"Until fairly recently it has been all quiet on the shared cataloguing front. Cataloguing departments taking records from the Library of Congress, other National libraries, or one of many other libraries that share their Z39.50 connections. Many libraries also being members of an organisation to share the cataloguing load, such as OCLC, or Talis Base in the UK. About a year ago dust started to stir on the surface of this stable landscape, when OCLC caused a curfuffle with their move to redefine their record reuse policy. Then in January, open source library system vendor announced ‡Biblios.net, a free cataloguing service in which you can share with other libraries. In the last few weeks we have had SkyRiver arrive on the scene. Not much visible on their site yet, but according to press releases they hope to deliver quality at a lower costs - so things are a changing. Unfortunately nobody was available from OCLC, ‡Biblios, or SkyRiver, to help talk through what these moves might mean. Nevertheless Gang members Marshall Breeding and Frances Haugen were on hand to explore the ramifications of these moves and what a more competitive landscape might mean for the players in this market" (Source: Peter Scott's Library Blog)

Open conversation: transparency

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:58:18 -0800

Note from Michael: I don’t think I’ve mentioned this, but I’ve been writing a column for a Dutch library magazine called Digitale Bibliotheek with Jan Klerk, Librarian at City Library of Haarlem Netherlands. Our editor, Karolien Selhorst, has given me the go ahead to republish the columns here. We write and publish these pieces in English. Called “Open Conversation,” the articles give Jan and I a chance to discuss all sorts of topics related to libraries, technology and trends. This first column, published last spring, centered around the Transparent Library: Hi Michael, I’ve read your beautiful and very inspiring series about the Transparent Library with Michael Casey in Library Journal. In the series’ first article you wrote: “What prevents a library from being transparent? Barriers. Roadblocks. Inability to change. The culture of perfect. The transparent library contains three key elements: open communication, adapting to change, and scanning the horizon. We’ll explore these ideas and offer solutions for those struggling with new models of service, technology, and a decidedly opaque climate. The web has changed the old landscape of top-down decisions.” “As the web becomes the greatest word-of-mouth amplifier in history, consumers learn to trust peers more and companies less,” said Chris Anderson, author of The Long Tail. “And as the same trends play out within the firm, businesses are shifting from command and control to ‘out of control,’ distributing more and more power to the rank and file.” I fully agree with what you write in this article. We librarians sometimes have problems with adapting to this rapidly changing world. ...

Interesting developments at the bibliotheque nationale de france

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:04:26 -0800

Having read some documentation recently around the plans of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France (BNF) for what they call a “pivot” – a mechanism based on semantic technologies for optimising the value of the BNF’s entire web presence, including Gallica, its digital library, it was great to have the opportunity to hear Dominique Stutzmann from the BNF speak at the recent Eurolis Seminar in London. The future of the library (Doom or Bloom?) was what the day event was all about, and according to Stutzmann, we’ve already invented it. We’ve got the nice buildings, and so ostensibly the library of the future will be the same as that of today. If the library space vanishes, he argued, it will only be the result of a self-fulfilling prophecy because librarians aren’t confident about what they’re doing. I think he’s really onto something – there is indeed an element of subjective crisis in the problem of the future of libraries. He admitted, though, that Web 2.0 re-presents the user-librarian relationship in quite a fundamental way; the user becomes both publisher and librarian. But users don’t want librarians to disappear. He seems to be saying that our library spaces continue to be successful, so leave them alone but engage with some interesting technological stuff as well, because libraries are well-positioned to do so. He added that users trust libraries with everything including long-term preservation of data, and BNF is clearly poised to exploit that trust, but not for its own ends, but for everyone, in the great universal tradition of libraries. ...

For example, Web search engines provide easy access to millions of Websites, online databases provide convenient gateways to news and scholarship, and book-scanning projects make roaming the shelves seem antiquated. Meanwhile, the traditional authority and expertise enjoyed by librarians has been challenged by the emergence of peer-produced and collaborative knowledge projects, such as Wikipedia, Yahoo! Answers, or Amazon’s personalized book recommendation system. Further, the professional, education, and social spheres of our lives are increasingly merging, marked by the rise of social networking services providing new interfaces for interacting with friends, the sharing of information, and professional collaboration.Libraries face a key question in this new environment: what is the role of the library in providing access to knowledge in today’s digitally networked world?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:47:41 -0800

More...Until fairly recently it has been all quiet on the shared cataloguing front. Cataloguing departments taking records from the Library of Congress, other National libraries, or one of many other libraries that share their Z39.50 connections. Many libraries also being members of an organisation to share the cataloguing load, such as OCLC, or Talis Base in the UK. About a year ago dust started to stir on the surface of this stable landscape, when OCLC caused a curfuffle with their move to redefine their record reuse policy. Then in January, open source library system vendor announced ‡Biblios.net, a free cataloguing service in which you can share with other libraries. In the last few weeks we have had SkyRiver arrive on the scene. Not much visible on their site yet, but according to press releases they hope to deliver quality at a lower costs - so things are a changing. Unfortunately nobody was available from OCLC, ‡Biblios, or SkyRiver, to help talk through what these moves might mean. Nevertheless Gang members Marshall Breeding and Frances Haugen were on hand to explore the ramifications of these moves and what a more competitive landscape might mean for the players in this market.

Library mashups 1 – sopac 2.0: the trashable, mashable catalog

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:32:28 -0800

Per far conoscere Library mashups: exploring new ways to deliver library data, ho pensato di inaugurare una serie di post dedicati ai vari capitoli. Affinché l’impostazione non sia troppo burocratica, non procederò proprio in sequenza. Comincerò la serie con una delle puntate più avvincenti: quella sul capitolo 12, SOPAC 2.0: The Trashable, Mashable Catalog, scritto da John Blyberg e dedicato a SOPAC (Social OPAC), l’interfaccia web per i cataloghi di biblioteca creata da Blyberg medesimo, bravissimo programmatore e appassionato di open source e biblioteche. SOPAC nasce nel 2005 come un progetto open source della Ann Arbor District Library (NdR adesso Blyberg lavora presso la Darien Library), quando a Blyberg viene chiesto di riprogettare l’interfaccia web del catalogo della biblioteca. L’intento del nostro è subito chiaro: disegnare un OPAC che non sia percepito come qualcosa di estrinseco ma che si fonda perfettamente con l’interfaccia web del sito della biblioteca. Dunque SOPAC viene concepito come nativamente integrato nel CMS Drupal, e sviluppato a partire proprio da moduli del Content Management System. La prima interfaccia va online nel 2007 e si presenta molto bene, ricca di funzionalità sociali tipiche della Library 2.0. Qualcosa però non funziona ancora bene e non permette quell’integrazione seamless tra OPAC e sito web che Blyberg si era proposto. L’interfaccia è da un lato troppo dipendente dalla configurazione del sistema di automazione della AADL e dunque non facilmente esportabile, e dall’altro l’architettura nel suo insieme è troppo poco ricettiva verso i contenuti generati dagli utenti (UGC), che infatti non sono inclusi nell’indice dell’OPAC che viene interrogato all’atto di ricerca di un libro da parte degli utenti. Così prende il via il progetto SOPAC 2. ...

Redes sociales en la bilioteca 2.0

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:26:00 -0800

Por: Hugo AguayoPreviamente a definir lo que es la Biblioteca 2.0, debemos realizar un inciso para explicar lo que es realmente la Web 2.0, puesto que un concepto deriva del otro. La Web 2.0 no engloba una nueva tecnología, ni nuevas conexiones a Internet, ni es una Red alternativa; se trata de una nueva forma de interactuar las personas en la Red. La idea original de la web (en este contexto, llamada Web 1.0) consistía en páginas estáticas, escritas en el lenguaje de marcado HTML, que no eran actualizadas frecuentemente. De esta manera, el éxito de las empresas puntocom dependía en gran medida de la generación de sitios web más dinámicos donde los CMS (Sistemas de gestión de contenidos) servían páginas creadas automáticamente desde una base de datos. Frente a esto, los propulsores de la aproximación a la Web 2.0 creen que el uso de la web se está orientado a la creación e interacción de redes sociales, que pueden servir contenido de forma dinámica creando, o no, webs interactivas y visuales. Es decir, los sitios Web 2.0 actuarían más como puntos de encuentro, o webs dependientes de usuarios, que como webs tradicionales.De esta nueva consideración de Internet como un lugar donde compartir información y experiencias en tiempo real, nace lo que se ha denominado la Biblioteca 2.0. El primer intento de definición lo realiza Michael Casey en su blog LibraryCrunch en septiembre de 2005, como podemos comprobar, en esta primera aproximación los objetivos no están claramente establecidos y por lo que queda un tanto vacía en su contenido.La Biblioteca 2.0 es un modelo de funcionamiento que permite que las bibliotecas respondan rápidamente a las necesidades del mercado. Esto no significa que abandonemos a nuestros usuarios actuales o nuestra misión. Es una filosofía del cambio rápido, de las estructuras de organización flexibles, de las herramientas nuevas de la web 2. ...

Scholarly identity 2.0: matrix, concept model, and presentation

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:45:29 -0800

As mentioned in my previous post, my first Belgrade lecture focused on the concept of Research 2.0. The second lecture focused on Scholarly Identity 2.0, which is increasingly important because of the wealth of online identity information created by Research 2.0. The Scholarly Identity Matrix below is adapted from a general identity matrix concept pioneered by the founders of ClaimID. It is meant to display the different types and components of a researcher’s online identity. The Scholarly Identity 2.0 Concept Model below displays how the different components from the Matrix fit together. The black text is content types. The blue are the characteristics of identity these content types best represent. The green is who is responsible for managing this information. The Scholarly Identity 2.0 Concept Model takes the series of concept models one step farther, but with a slightly different twist. The spectrum is more specific than in past models with one end being entirely user-generated content (UGC) and the other traditional scholarly communication. My hypothesis is that scholarly identity online, or Scholarly Identity 2.0, is a combination of these two information types held together by a unique identifier. For example, the combination verifies not just topical expertise through peer-review of articles, but also personality verified by LinkedIn recommendations. Please share your thoughts on the accuracy of this model in the comments below or on FriendFeed. The below presentation covers each quadrant of the Matrix culminating in the Concept Model as a summary. Scholarly Identity 2.0: What does the Web say about your research?

I would like to give special thanks to Adam Sofronijevic, at the University of Belgrade Libraries for all his hard work in arranging the lectures and for his hospitality during my visit.

Research 2.0 concept model and presentation

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:58:56 -0800

The above is an evolution of the Academic Library 2.0 Concept Models developed for my Master’s Paper. While the original model primarily focused on academic library services for students, the new model focuses on services for researchers. Like in the original models, the top represents communication spaces grounded in physical space, while the bottom mirrors this in the online realm. Two ends of the spectrum are informal communications and formal communications. My argument is that Research 2.0 falls somewhere between these extremes. I developed the presentation for the presentation below. From Academic Library 2.0 to (Literature) Research 2.0 View more presentations from Michael Habib. This model is meant to capture Research 2.0 as concerns scholarly communication and not research conducted through 2.0 methods such as Galaxy Zoo. I am eager to receive feedback on how well this model represents the concept of Research 2.0. Where is it limited? Where is it right? Wrong? Please feel free to leave comments below (or on FriendFeed) I had the opportunity to revisit my concept models and develop this variation when preparing for recent lectures hosted by the University of Belgrade Libraries with support from the Serbian Ministry of Science and Technological Development and the Serbian library consortium KoBSON. While there, I also had the opportunity to visit the Institute of Technical Sciences Library and the National Library of Serbia; both of which are working on a number of interesting projects. The first of these lectures is above, the second lecture (and another new model) will follow in a separate post that explores the concept of Scholarly Identity 2.0.

Vendors turning librarians benders

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0800

(Originally found here) seems that SirsiDynix is making some rather unfriendly comments about Open Source vendors to some of there users saying:- "This document was released only to a select number of existing customers of the company SirsiDynix, a proprietary library automation software vendor. According to our source it has not been released more broadly specifically because of the misinformation about open source software and possible libel per se against certain competitors contained therein." This has caused a great deal of debate with Stephen Abraham (vice president of Innovation for Sirsi Dynix) writing in a blog post entitled it's about a respectful discussion. On the other side we have Meredith Farkas looking at the subject of open source and the part of vendors in the library role. Her discussion is well more interesting look at things.

Mashup e biblioteche? un binomio vincente

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:12:36 -0800

E’ stato pubblicato Library mashups: exploring new ways to deliver library data, il libro sui mashups e le biblioteche atteso ormai da quasi un anno! Il capitolo con cui ho partecipato si intitola Behind the scenes, proprio perché intende fornire delle informazioni su ciò che accade dietro le quinte di servizi e prodotti di cui in genere vediamo solamente il front end – che sia un’interfaccia web o un client. Il libro si compone sia di una parte teorico-tecnica sia sopratutto di esempi concreti progettati e realizzati presso biblioteche sparse per il mondo: è questo approccio molto orientato alla pratica e di respiro internazionale che me lo fa considerare – conflitto di interesse a parte ;-) – un ottimo libro su un argomento tecnico come il mashup, probabilmente finora poco sviluppato al livello di riflessione e di implementazione. Nel libro potrete spaziare dagli esperimenti sui repository effettuati dal grande Stuart Lewis alle modalità con cui rendere un sito mashable all’immancabile hacking sugli OPAC. L’aspetto che trovo molto soddisfacente in quanto autrice è che il modello di pubblicazione proposto dalla curatrice e dall’editore è stato di stampo scientifico-accademico. La remunerazione per il capitolo è consistita in una copia omaggio del volume, ma ci è stata data per contratto la possibilità di pubblicare il contributo su archivi aperti e siti personali, e di farne uso per presentazioni o coursepack didattici. Aiutandoci così come autori sia a far conoscere il libro e sia a far conoscere i nostri modesti contributi. Inutile dire che personalmente trovo questo modello vincente per le pubblicazioni scientifiche. Quindi… vi comunico con grande piacere che il mio capitolo è accessibile a testo pieno sul sito del Bicocca Open Archive all’indirizzo http://hdl.handle.net/10281/5117. ...

Library 101 project debuts

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:32:44 -0700

Our fellow staffer Michael Porter (aka Libraryman) has been spending his off hours working slavishly with David Lee King on a project they call Library 101. We know Michael as an unrepentent cheerleader of libraries and librarians who can convince anyone to get up and dance and sing for the cause (and have fun while doing it!). Well, their project debuted just a few days ago, with quite a splash. The project website includes a collection of more than 20 essays from thought leaders in the field, an extensive list of resources (101, actually) on “need to know” technology, and last but not least, a 7-minute song and video featuring Michael, David, and a huge cast of characters from libraries around the globe. Around the office, we all have the chorus “101 our parts make a sum that will be the key to what is to come. 101’s how we get the job done! Evolve and make your Library 101!” totally stuck in our heads. Michael and David are hoping that you will help build the project by adding your comments to the essays, to answer the question, What do you think librarians need to know to succeed?

It's about a respectful discussion

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:00:00 -0700

The discussion about open source and integrated library systems has become more relevant and animated in the past year. Much has happened to fuel the discussion, especially recently with changes with the open source (and quasi-open source) vendors. Open source technology in general has become part of the technology discussion of in many industries including libraries. SirsiDynix customers and prospects, as well as our library colleagues and peers, have asked us for our reaction to open source technology development as it grows and changes in the market. In response, I wrote a position paper that provides our perspective of open source technology as it exists today as an option for library automation. I am a librarian who has worked for libraries and several vendors, and I feel that the paper brings some very real challenges to light for any library considering open source solutions for their library automation. The paper has been posted and exchanged in the past day, rumoured to be a secretive lobbying effort that SirsiDynix has been hiding. This is simply not true. There has been nothing secretive about the position paper, we have been offering and sharing it with many customers as we meet with them, and I am offering it to anyone interested at the link below. SirsiDynix views open source technology as healthy competition in the marketplace. We believe that competition is good for libraries and for our industry, and OSS is no exception. My colleague Talin Bingham, CTO for SirsiDynix, reinforced this position in a recent NISO forum, stating that OSS, with all competition, means better products for libraries. We have worked with open source vendors in standards definition in the past and will continue to do so. We even use open source technology in our own products (Apache/Tomcat) and development environment (CUnit, JUnit, Linux, Suse, Redhat, EMMA). ...

The hyperlinked library adapted for anangu people

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:07:50 -0700

A few days after I delivered my keynote at the Australian School Library Association, I received a wonderful email from Lyn Walsh. She asked permission to adapt the presentation for her work with the Amata Anangu School. Because my talks are all CC licensed I told her to go right ahead – with the stipulation she help me out with a blog post as well. It’s a good reminder to me – and maybe others – that while we can talk all day about shiny new tools there are some schools and students who are in very different circumstances. I’m still collecting myself after five incredible weeks in Australia – learning from librarians and educators, researching Learning 2.0 programs and immersing myself as best I could in each unique place we visited. More soon. Here’s what Lyn provided, headed up by a shot of one of her adapted slides. Information about Lyn Walsh’s “21st Century learning, Anangu tjutaku” : an adaptation of the recent conference presentation by Michael Stephens: “The Hyperlinked Library” Blog entry by Lyn Walsh, 17.10.09. “21st Century learning, Anangu tjutaku” is an adaptation of “The Hyperlinked Library” for the context I work in, Amata Anangu School, a remote Indigenous school on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in the NW of South Australia.

The Library 101 video debuted today at the Internet Librarian conference. Created by Michael Porter (a.k.a. Libraryman) and David Lee King, the video is a foot-tapping, library-rocking tour-de-force. Clear the next eight minutes in your schedule, put on some headphones, and enjoy: Click here to view the embedded video. The Library 101 website not only has the video, but also a collection of essays by prominent library supporters, as well as a “101 Resources and Things to Know” page that provides a great overview of just what they are striving to communicate. To settle any bar bets, as well as disclose a connection: I am in the video. I first appear at the 30 second mark (though all you see is my arm and notebook computer), but show up later in full frame. My using the computer for the “1″ and “0″ was the solution to a problem: when the call went out for pictures of library people holding sheets of paper containing the magic numbers, I was on vacation in Branson, Missouri. No printer. I could probably have found a Kinkos, but it wouldn’t have gone over well with my family because, you see, I was on vacation. Drawing the numbers might have worked for someone with artistic talent; not for me. I really like my idea of using the computer… it fits the theme of the video: So, I hope you watched and enjoyed the video… Michael and David deserve some serious positive feedback for their ideas and efforts.

The Journal of Academic Librarianship 35.4 (July 2009): 324-331.Read via Science Direct.The article looks at a sampling of 81 academic libraries in New York State to see what Web 2.0 applications they have chosen to use and how they have applied them. On the basis, the authors then propose their conceptual model that revolves around the concepts of Librarian 2.0, User 2.0, and Information 2.0. I did not find this to be a ground-breaking article, but it does confirm some of what I have seen already or read out there in other librarian blogs.Some small notes from the article I found interesting:"Although Habib's Academic Library 2.0 model goes beyond the boundary of a library by including the social dimension of students' campus life, it does not cover research activities academic libraries strive to support" (325). The reference goes to Michael Habib's thesis from UNC-Chapel Hill, which you can find here. I may have to go and read the work itself, but this quote made me ponder a bit because I am indeed not seeing much on use of 2.0 in relation to an academic library's research activities, or, to better say it, the research activities an academic library is supposed to support. There is some work out there being done, but a lot of the coverage seems to be around the fun and games.The survey revealed that the libraries sampled implemented 2.0 tools in a limited scale. I think this is fairly consistent with how most libraries probably do it. Contrary to what we see a lot in the librarian blogger sphere, which tends to be celebratory every time some library jumps on another 2.0 application, I tend to wonder about the ones that are doing things but are not writing about it. Or the ones who try things out, find out they do not work for them, but again, do not write about them. ...

an "anti-library" faction?"Don't cry crocodile tears about people who are making $100,000 a year wiping tables and putting the books back on the shelves," Xinos smirked, apparently referencing the fired head librarian, who has advanced degrees and made $98,676 a year. He said Oak Brook had to "stop indulging people in their hobbies" and "their little, personal, private wants."can't help but wonder what kind of library experience marked this person in their youth??? !!!Xinos, who unsuccessfully sued to stop the building of the new library, which opened in 2002, sits on one side of the issue. He lost his election bid to be a village board member, but has been president of his home association since 1983 and worked to elect board members who agree with him about the library. thanks (I think;) to michael stephens for thelinktechnorati tags:library-20, library2.0, library 2.0, libraries, policies, customers (Source: rambleonsylvie)

Death of a hero

Back in 1992 when I went to University, me and my mates had a ritual for Friday night. A sad one, but one we enjoyed. Go to the gym, get the weekly shop (with a four pack as a minimum amount of drink) go back to our University accommodation, put on our tune and go out for the night. That tune was called weekender by flowered up. Seventeen years have passed and although me and my friends keep in regular contact, we were all sad to hear the lead singer from the band had died.

Librarians toolbox

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:00:18 -0700

When I started to think about the librarians toolbox I first thought about all the cool tools I have at my disposal on my computers, WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Googlesuite etc., then I started to think back, to before these tools existed and how I managed then, with embryonic mail clients, Hotmail, coding websites in HTML, IRC or ICQ and Usenet. Then I thought even further back, to snailmail, telex printers, printed indexes and just meeting people face to face. And then it hit me, I had the really important tools with me the whole time. The fundamentals that made me capable of using and evaluating services no matter how advanced they are. I started out with two tools, and then added a third just lately (but I have been living by it way before I heard about it:-)) My number one tool is Ranganathans Five Laws of Librarianship. Yes, I still use the oldfashioned word Librarianship rather than Library science. Books are for use Every reader his [or her] book Every book its reader Save the time of the User The library is a growing organism With these simple and fundamental laws in the back of my mind I usually find it easy to evaluate a possible service or new gizmo pretty quickly. The second tool is Adams first law. Don´t Panic! (preferrably in large friendly letters) Most of the time panic is a total waste of time. I have tried to live by this in that I try to handle things that come up on the assumption that most things are fixable and most people are approachable. This is not to say I don´t have my moments of panic, but I try to not let that slow me down or stop me from doing something I believe is right or good. The third tool is the “Cult of Done Manifesto“. By not obsessing with trying to get things perfect I get more things done and tried. With that experience I can move on and use what I have learned to make things better or different. ...

The place for text message reference?

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:28:02 -0700

The recent WebJunction Digital Reference Summit (full archive and related resources) included a presentation by Alison Miller about the rise of text message reference services. At the beginning of the session we polled participants and discovered that just 17% of the nearly 200 in attendance were providing text reference services, but that’s sure to change. Alison provided a wealth of data to illustrate the current trends in mobile reference services and referenced the nearly 100 libraries offering SMS (text) reference service listed on the Library Success Wiki. There were a handful of questions raised during the webinar about whether or not the 160-character limit allows for an adequate reference exhange or if it only serves to provide quick answers to quick queries. There are multiple responses to these questions in the recent Library Journal article by Ellyssa Kroski which asks, Text Message Reference: Is It Effective? In the article, Ellyssa references interviews with a half a dozen or so academic reference librarians and presents their answer as a resounding YES! She summarized: The 160-character limit does not seem to be an impediment; librarians simply send multiple messages or ask patrons to call or come into the library for further help with more complex questions. Libraries are receiving a wide variety of questions via text messaging such as troubleshooting, directional, circulation, and reference queries, with some libraries receiving between 50-90 questions per month via patrons’ mobile devices. And it doesn’t seem to matter that the reference interview may take multiple text exchanges, according to these librarians—the content and quality of the answers is more important than the medium of delivery. Whether or not your library is providing text message reference, I think the verdict is clear. The libraries who remain technologically nimble in our changing times are where their users are.

Authenticity and the next generation catalogue

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:06:05 -0700

Internet Librarian International last week ran a session on next generation catalogues. In the first presentation, Peter Bryant spoke about what he termed “Adaptability, aboutness and authenticity”. Peter is a Learning and Development Tutor at Middlesex University, and specialises in work-based learning, which, he says, is fundamentally about reflection. Peter doesn’t tell his students what is and what isn’t authentic information. Similarly, he didn’t actually tell us how he defines authentic information. This was a problem according to all the people I spoke with after the session, and is certainly a problem when trying to critique his ideas, many of which hung off this word “authentic”. Peter also dislikes reading lists, on the grounds that “Just because I like something, doesn’t necessarily mean my students will too.” Instead, he believes it is his responsibility, as a teacher, to allow students to form their own ideas of what is authentic. Moving onto linked data (which he does briefly), Bryant is more interested in how we construct authentic knowledge than in the linkage itself. Does Bryant believe, then, that everything is down to subjective evaluation? Is Dan Brown as “authentic” as Jane Austen in his view? Thankfully not. By presenting a problem – namely, how do we know that Kohl (for example) is the man in a given discipline? – Bryant makes it clear that there is, in fact, a very real and valuable hierarchy in any discipline, but that we may be going the wrong way in determining that hierarchy. Currently, Google uses citation counts. There is also an academic hierarchy – we talk about Tier 1 journals, for example. Finally, we have the scenario that Bryant has already implicitly attacked – where the academic tells us who we should read. ...

Micromen review

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 20:00:00 -0700

Having the good fortune to have a day off from work, I had the opportunity to watch Micro Men, which I had mentioned last week. The programme looked at the early 1980's rivalry between Sir Clive Sinclair Spectrum computer and his former work colleague Chris Curry and his Acorn computers.The programme is around an hour and half long, showing there declining relationship, there building new companies and empires, and in the British computing industry getting the most important contract of the early 1980's. This was the BBC computer literacy project. This was designed with an emphasis on education it was notable for its ruggedness, expandability and the quality of its operating system. Acorn won this competition in 1981 and with it, the computer was used on The Computer Programme.In the next few years we see how fruitful the 2 companies become. Acorn, the programmers toy of choice, whilst the Spectrum is the gamers choice. But both are dissatisfied with there lot, as they want a share of each others market. When the fade of 1984 comes in, as computer aficionado's we know the computing world would never be the same.Both colleagues take wrong turns, Curry with the doomed electron and Sir Clive's QL. When they finally meet for a drink Curry says 'If we joined together we could have taken on IBM.' Back then, as a teenager it felt like it could have happened.I do feel this area is rarely covered by social and computer historians. In the 1980's we had great games like Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy by Matthew Smith, who made a fortune and disappeared to commune in Holland. Gaming companies like Imagine Software, who climbed great heights and went belly up before our eyes in a BBC documentary. Very few books have been written on this era excluding one on the Spectrum and a Chapter on the Game Elite (originally made for the BBC and then transported to the Spectrum). Its a shame really. ...

Dame lynne brindley at senate house

As mentioned yesterday, today I went to the Charles Holden talk with Dame Lynne Brindley. It started off with a brief talk about Senate house friends and the events that the did and what they paid for within the library. The Emma Robinson, former Senate house director formally introduced Dame Lynne Brindley and discussed the British Libraries 'cultural diplomacy'.Brindley described the British library as 'one of the greatest libraries in the world'. She discussed how the BL supports research and makes around £22 to 25 million from the work it does for business, which is then re-invested in the library. The BL website also receives 75000000 hits per year we were told. She then proceeded to discuss the shrinking world and 'the response to the challenges of the digital age'. In today's age Brindley discussed how users expect to get there information may vary, but many expect it electronically. She said the BL was 'responding to the challenges of the digital age.'She briefly touch on whether libraries have a future. Although she felt they did, she did see that with the question being raised, that that shows it is being though about.She then proceeded to discuss cultural diplomacy and the international engagement strategy, which has 5 aims:-Restoring and sustaining cultures.Virtual reunification's of collections.Capacity building.Professional leadership.Digital development.She then discussed some of the important work the British library is doing. For example, the International Dunhuang project. This looks at the ancient silk road maps in Asia.The she discussed the Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. This garnered 96000000 hits in its first two days. Other things were discussed such as Web Curator briefly, but it then proceeded to a Q & A. Oh what fun. ...

Why do i do this?

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:00:00 -0700

I recently read Jennie Laws Blogpost Why do I do This?, which was a follow up to Woodsiegirls post entitled Careers Advice. Both looked at why they had become librarians and how they had got to this career path. I thought I would add my reasons on becoming a librarian. Well, I went to Bath Spa University in 1992 to do my BA in History and English. Whilst there I spent a lot of my time working in the library, went to the courses on how to use inter-library loans. I really enjoyed my time there and graduated in 1995. I really wanted to then be a librarian. In 1996 I went to Kingston and worked for an agency and even went for a job interview as a librarian and did not get it. Well, a few more jobs came and went (but nothing like what I wanted). Then in 2004 I worked for a friend as a carer and assisted him on his movie in the USA. Whilst working as a carer I was able to save up to do my Masters Degree in 2005 at City. As part of my degree I had to work within a library. I worked at a public library in Seven sisters as a volunteer for 2 years and really enjoyed it. Whilst doing my masters I became interested in Web 2.0 and library 2.0. I began blogging whilst doing my degree and have been ever since. In 2007 I passed my masters and began looking for a job. I got my first paid job working as library assistant in a public library on the Holloway road in October 2007. It was a temporary role, but it was enjoyable to enjoy going into work. In march 2008 I got my present role at an academic library in Bloomsbury.Although it took me a long time to get the job in a library, I never have regretted it. Its the best job in the world.

What is an academic library?

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:00:00 -0700

Whilst meeting my mentor for my Cilip chartership we discussed the what my working role was and what is the role of an academic library and librarian?Since then I have been thinking what is an academic library in the broadest sense? Via wikipedia it is:-a library which serves an institution of higher learning, such as a college or a university — libraries in secondary and primary schools are called school libraries. These libraries serve two complementary purposes: to support the school's curriculum, and to support the research of the university faculty and students.But every library has an individual approach to this. Where I work, te library is part of the University of London, and serves 22 London Universities. From tropical diseases to art. The academic library therefore has a large remit to cover. The mission statement of the library can be found here. The library therefore can at times be unwieldly with so many patrons to 'satisfy'. On top of this the Library is also being rewired, which means a three week closure, retraining and re-acquainting ourselves with re-opened area's.I also feel academic libraries serve are what Tony Hirst recently wrote in a blog post:-- students (i.e. people taking a course);- lecturers (i.e. people creating or supporting a course);- researchers;- folk off the web (i.e. people who Googled in who are none of the above).Do we within an academic library fulfil our criteria for the 3 groups? I couldn't really discuss that here on my blog, but I do feel that things should be simplified for users. Anyhow, no more to add. (Source: librarytwopointzero)

The demise of blogging? part 1

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:00:00 -0700

Meredith Farkas has an interesting over on her site entitled 'W(h)ither blogging and the library blogosphere?'. I 've discussed this previously. Meredith's article makes much sense. The uptake of twitter and microblogging seems to have cause a decline in Blogging. Many great blogs like Infotangle by Ellyssa Kroski has been replaced by her new blog ilibrarian. Other library blogs seem to have lessened in the library blogosphere, but as Walt Walt says in the comments of Merediths article :-Great post and remarkable set of comments–and Karin, I think you’re right on the money. Twitter et al (I really dislike the term “microblogging,” but can’t win that one) have, in a way, strengthened essay-length blogging while weakening short-form blogging (maybe)–and essays have always been harder to do than quick notes.Really worth reading it and especially the comments section.

Should i quit blogging post

(Found via here) Stephen Abram pointed me in the direction of this post 'Should I Quit Blogging?' by Darren Rowse. I have mentioned previously, and although Walt Crawford responded by saying:-Blogging has had a low persistence rate for years. I'd like to think that the best bloggers are sticking around...but I've always been a Candide at heart.Rowse's response to the decline of blogging wrote following:-Blogging is not dead - it’s evolving. You should be evolving too (read Blogs are Out of Beta, But Bloggers Should always be in Beta)Keep being useful, keep solving problems and keep meeting needs - whatever the medium this is key. Keep producing content - people continue to search the web for content in huge numbers. It’s not all about networking and bookmarking - whether it be text, video or audio - keep producing content. Experiment with different mediums - to the best of your ability keep abreast of the ‘new’ mediums that are emerging.Build a ‘Home Base’ - many people flit from one medium to another and end up with nothing of their own (read more on the Home Bases and Outposts that I use). Build a Brand - the mediums are tools. They’ll come and go in time - the key is to build something that lasts beyond them. Don’t be Precious about your ‘Blog’ and be open to change - there’s no one ‘right’ way to blog. Blogs can have comments or not have comments, have full RSS feeds or partial ones, look like a traditional blog or act and look more like a lifestream or portal. The key is to know what you want to achieve and let that shape what you do with your blog. Don’t abandon your blog too quickly - your primary efforts may move into a different medium but blogs can be an important part of the mix of what you do online. Don’t abandon your blog - build upon it, let it evolve, leverage what you’ve already built and use it where appropriate in the mix of what you do. I think its a pretty good article about how blogging is a great tool. ...

Mash oop north............lightning talks

After lunch, the lightning talks started, which were 5-10 minute talks on what could and/ or maybe done at other institutions.First up was Owen Stephens discussing interactive fiction and information literacy. He pointed us in the direction of this site as an example.Next up was Tanya Williamson, who discussed Edward.R.Tufte. Tufte she described as an 'artist, economist and statistician'. Tufte also had a thing against, confusion and clutter are failures of design, not attributes of information.' He also had a treaty against PowerPoint (not a bad thing then?)Next up was Paul Stainthorp and Joss Winn discussed Scriblio. Both looked at the plug-ins for word-press, and how you can create your own database and tags. Both looked at how you could individualise the users experience, which remind me of Nicholas Negroponte Idea of the Daily me and Ranganathan idea :-These laws are:Books are for use.Every reader his [or her] book.Every book its reader.Save the time of the User.The library is a growing organism.There were more talks, but these are the one's I have notes for.Anyway, thats it for my write up of the Mash oop north.

10 things librarians hate....

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:00:00 -0700

Especially number five which says:-Patrons with no cell phone etiquette Cell phones aren’t banned from my library - we just ask people use them politely. I did also feel that i'm a bit of a grouch at work when I read Liz's comments in which she points out librarians failings:-Fair enough. But having been to three separate libraries in the span of four days recently, please allow me to pose a few Librarian Pet Peeves:1. Treating patrons as inconveniences. I’m so sorry to tear you away from your hard work on eBay or that juicy phone call about your sister-in-law’s illegitimate child’s paternity suit, but may I please ask you a question without being sneered at? If it is something important and work-related, a simple “I’ll be with you in a moment” is greatly appreciated.2. Using nondescript or derogatory references to coworkers. For some reason, it bugs me when one librarian will say to his or her colleague, “Yeah, this girl / lady / woman has a question about WestLaw” - how about “This PATRON has a question”? My favorite was a reference helper who had to get the head reference librarian; when she came from her office and asked him who had the question, he responded “The chick in the blue shirt over there.” Nice and professional.3. Pointing. Me: “Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find the updated State Codes and Regulations, please?” Help Desk Librarian: (points to the… SSE’ern-ish corner?) “Over there.” I understand time is short and I don’t expect to be led there by the hand, but descriptive directions, such as “Just past the reference materials here on the last shelves on the left” is far more helpful than a finger.4. Disappearing. This happens more than I care to admit. ...

(Found via Disruptive Library Technology Jester). Having mentioned previously that Zotero was being sued by Thomson Reuters it now seems the case has been overturned. Well, i'm glad about that, i really like Zotero. (Source: librarytwopointzero)

Ucl opens up

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:00:00 -0700

(Found via Library & Information Update blog). It seems UCL have announced saying the following inthere press release on June 3rd :-UCL (University College London) has today announced the establishment of a UCL Publications Board that will implement the university’s Open Access policy and be responsible for ensuring that, subject to copyright permissions, all UCL research is placed online in the university’s institutional repository, freely accessible to all. This move places UCL at the forefront of academic institutions who are pioneering the move to Open Access, as the first European university ranked in the global top ten in the THE – QS world university rankings to do so.UCL has already given all of its PhD students the option of making their theses available in its online repository, open access, giving these far greater visibility than they would enjoy as paper copy on library shelves. In academic departments across UCL there is already a broad take-up of Open Access, and the records of the whole of UCL’s 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) return have been loaded into the repository, with links added to the relevant version of the full text where copyright permissions allow. The creation of the UCL Publications Board extends this situation to the whole of UCL’s published research output. The Publications Board will oversee the rollout of UCL’s Open Access mandate, and promote Open Access both within UCL and beyond as an important scholarly medium for the dissemination of research.This will be interesting, especially as UCL are a premier university. I wonder if the other UOL are big enough to follow suit? (Source: librarytwopointzero)

Crowdsourcing for job applications

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:00:00 -0700

Since starting my own Wiki I have been interested in what I could add to it. I have thought of practical and web 2.0 idea's I could also add to it (i'm so last year I know). Anyhow, since reading Tapscott's Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything. This book along with Jeff Howe's Book Crowdsourcing: Why the Power of the Crowd Is Driving the Future of Business and his Wired article. I was wondering how to use this practically, the crowdsourcing and wiki.Therefore, my idea was whilst looking for jobs, to put my application forms up, give feedback and recieve updates from other people. The items could then be tagged, reference and used by other people and companies to use. I reckon it could be a winner (unless all my applications are rejected, no one gives feedback etc). I wonder why no one else has done it.Unfortunately, I'm not sure if some people might see it as either a free dinner or plagarism to a degree. What do others of you think?

Using twitter at academic conferences

Wed, 27 May 2009 20:00:00 -0700

(Found via ilibrarian). I was pointed to How People Are Using Twitter During Conferences in which the report says:-“Microblogging at conferences seems to be an additional way of discussing presented topics and exchanging additional information. It is not limited to the face-to-face audience or the location of the conference. Microblogging rather allows virtually anyone to actively participate in the thematic debates. Our research shows that several conference speakers and attendees are using Twitter for various purposes. Communicating and sharing resources seem to be one of the most interesting and relevant ways in which one microblogs.”I'm not a fan of twitter. I see the advantages, but find the noise to perplexing, but when I went to the Mash up at Birkbeck, I was surprised at how many people twittered at the conference. As the Oop north mash up is soon, I can see i'll ne twittering there myself. (Source: librarytwopointzero)

Google tries to pacify libraries with piece meal offerings

Wed, 20 May 2009 20:00:00 -0700

(Via lisnews). The New York Times has an article entitled Google Book-Scanning Pact to Give Libraries Input on Price. In the article the author says:-'In a move that could blunt some of the criticism of Google for its settlement of a lawsuit over its book-scanning project, the company signed an agreement with the University of Michigan that would give some libraries a degree of oversight over the prices Google could charge for its vast digital library.'How can a company that has a monopoly of those market be 'blunting' its approach to libraries and users? Sorry, Google is a public company, out for a profit (as I said previously).By the way, I do note the irony of using blogger in my Google bashing. (Source: librarytwopointzero)

Google doing evil towards librarians and authors

Mon, 18 May 2009 20:00:00 -0700

Ok, I'm being sensational. but Google seem to want to have the library cake, eat it, take over the building and replace it as another server farm. I've been reading Randall E. Stross Planet Google: How One Company is Transforming Our Lives. Stross points out how Lawrence Lessig felt that using snippets of books was like a card catalogue at a library and therefore fair use. Others have disagreed.Brewster Kahle has today felt that Google are taking advantage of the libraries digitalising there books. Kahle says of google:-The promise of a rich and democratic digital future will be hindered by monopolies. Laws and the free market can support many innovative, open approaches to lending and selling books. We need to focus on legislation to address works that are caught in copyright limbo. And we need to stop monopolies from forming so that we can create vibrant publishing environments.We are very close to having universal access to all knowledge. Let's not stumble now.But will anyone say anything? I am doubting it. (Source: librarytwopointzero)

Web 2.0 in higher education

Wed, 13 May 2009 20:00:00 -0700

Over on Information Literacy meets Library 2.0 they have an article Higher education in a web 2.0 worldin which it discussed JISC Web 2.0 in Higher education report. The part I liked is when Goodwin says:-At present use of Web 2.0 is patchy in HE and tends to be driven from the bottom up. Web 2.0 technology has not yet been fully exploited for student learning yet. As this develops in HE it will challenge some students who expect traditional delivery. Surely the role of HE is to challenge and provide opportunities for adapting - that's what tomorrow's students will require. This is where the usefulness of Web 2.0 for supporting constructivist educational practice comes into play.Its totally true. I've often tried to implement these technologies at Senate House (1, 2 & 3. But thankfully some projects have come off. This has only been internally, but this has happened only internally. Small steps, but all in the right direction. (Source: librarytwopointzero)

What is the cloud, please

Wed, 13 May 2009 10:08:27 -0700

People at drop-in time who are just learning to use email have been asking me if I know what “the cloud” is lately. I assume the NY Times wrote something about it. I know it well enough to explain it to someone who also doesn’t know what Bcc is, but I wasn’t sure I understood it enough to be talking to other librarians about it. Here is a good First Monday article that spells out a lot of it: Where is the cloud? Geography, economics, environment, and jurisdiction in cloud computing. Some more discussion about how this affects libraries from the latest Library 2.0 Gang podcast. [thanks justin!] (Source: librarian.net)

Free is no longer the profitable business model

Sun, 10 May 2009 20:00:00 -0700

With the recent discussion by the uber media god, Rupert Murdoch, in which the guardian say:-"The inchoate days of the internet will soon be over," Murdoch pronounced, citing an "epochal" debate in the industry. Having flirted with the idea of turning the Wall Street Journal website free before realising he had bought one of the world's few newspaper sites that makes money, Murdoch has come down in favour of online charging.Murdoch seems to feel he can get people to pay. Its certainly been tried, and as knowledge worker points out 'business model for online news is broken.'I reckon people will certainly not want to pay much, and as some journalist and Writers perhaps feel 'Free: The Future of a Radical Price: The Economics of Abundance and Why Zero Pricing Is Changing the Face of Business'. I reckon Murdoch is correct in his assumption. Some payments have to be made, but they need to micro payments or items that can subscribe to them (like the Kindle). Unfortunately (for Amazon), Murdoch has rejected this idea of using the new Kindle. It will be interesting how Murdoch's plan works. He's rarely backs a bad idea. (Source: librarytwopointzero)
