http://ourstory.columbuslibrary.org/ I am thoroughly enjoying the online annual report from the Columbus Metropolitan Library. In just a few minutes, I became acquainted with staff members from all over the library (and board members!) sharing via video. Take a look. How could you replicate a site like this to tell your story? Little libraries could do this with a web camera or Flip Video and a WordPress blog. Bigger, better-equipped libraries could go gangbusters with snazzy design, etc. But what really matters is the human element: people telling the story of the library.
A big thank you to the folks a SVLS for bringing me in to speak with their members. I enjoyed both sessions and spending a couple of days in California was heaven. The slides are here: http://tametheweb.com/hyperlinkedlibrary/HyperlinkedSVLS.pdf

I’m flying out today to speak at Silicon Valley Library System. If you’re attending the morning or afternoon session, please say hi!
Run don’t walk to check out this very important, very insightful report from Char Booth. I’ve been luck enough to share a few meals with Char and her take on the academic library student technology experience is well-grounded, innovative and, frankly, brilliant. http://infomational.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/done-and-done/ I’m lousy with anticipation, so I am extremely relieved to write that a giant piece of my workload/ brain energy has been officially lifted as of today. ACRL just released Informing Innovation: Tracking Student Interest in Emerging Library Technologies at Ohio University, a book-length research report I’ve been working on for quite some time. The report is a detailed case study […]

Don’t miss Dominican GSLIS Alum Leah White’s article in LJ: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6652439.html So what do the survey results tell us? “A good rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t stop a face-to-face conversation between patrons, then you have no justification for stopping a technology-mediated conversation,” observed one library worker. “If you would stop a face-to-face conversation (e.g., in a Quiet Zone), then naturally cell phones would fall under the same policy.” Library users voiced strikingly similar opinions. Users agreed that cell phone conversations should be kept to a minimum and should be conducted respectfully. Most respondents said they understood the need to […]
