I shared this link with my class at Dominican: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/designmistakes.html Via Jakob Nielsen, there are many gems here. Pay attention to the “Writing for the Web” bit.
From the Rambling Librarian: http://ramblinglibrarian.blogspot.com/2004/09/differentiating-public-service.html We should go out there and engage potential users in the forums, chatrooms etc. As I wrote in my other blog:”… the presence that librarians project can no longer be the “Thou knoweth more than you-eth” attitude. To connect with our average information-customer, we need to show them that we’re as human as they are; as fallible, and there’s nothing to be fear from us.” In providing our service, be it answering reference enquiries or Readers’ Advisory, or checking a reader’s loan record, PLS librarians can distinguish themselves by engaging in conversations with the reader.

A brief PPT file of blog features used as a handout (With special thanks to Darlene Fichter for this […]
Rob Coers and I met for the first time last year at ILI 2004. What amazed me is how similar our training back grounds are: training public librarians for many years, etc. From that meeting, we began chatting and decided to propose a session on technology training for 2005 and presented “Twenty Technology Training Tips for Trainers” yesterday. I was excited about the idea of two trainers from different parts of the world coming together to share experiences and insights. What an incredible session it was! With most planning and discussion carried out via IM and other tools, we had […]
