Maness MLS, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries Many might consider IM a Web 1.0 technology, as its inception predates the technology market crash and it often requires the downloading of software, whereas most 2.0 applications are wholly web-based. It is here considered 2.0 as it is consistent with the tenets of Library 2.0: it allows a user presence within the library web-presence; it allows collaboration between patrons and librarians; and it allows a more dynamic experience than the fundamentally static, created-then-consume nature of 1.0 services. It is also considered 2.0 as it is becoming a more […]
I am very proud of the SJCPL Circulation folks. They started a wiki after Staff Day this year to capture thoughts, brainstorms, all the times they say “No” to patrons and more. One of the circulations folks emailed this screenshot and said they’ve had meetings to discuss barriers to service! Rock ON!

http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/librarianinblack/2006/07/dopa_passes_wha.html Great post from the LiB! If I was a Library Director, I wouldn’t accept E-Rate money if my job depended on it. I think if DOPA passes we’ll see more and more libraries refusing E-Rate. The amount of money and staff time you have to spend now on the filtering is borderline worth it strictly from a financial perspective. Add this ridiculous incursion, and it’s definitely not worth it to most libraries. How shameful.

David Warlick writing brilliantly on social software and information: The rise of blogging, podcasting (and vodcasting), wikis, and the glue that ties them and much else together, RSS, more closely align with the video game view of information than the blook-reading and film-watching mode that is my information consumption and was the central part of my education. The information landscape is increasingly a place that we participate in, observing our experience, reflecting on what we observe, reporting it to the blogosphere, reading, reflecting, and writing some more, and constructing uniquely valuable content — along with the junk. Information flows through […]
Good morning from Princeton, New Jersey! Jenny Levine and I are here to present the Roadshow at Princeton Public Library! “Conversation, Community, Connections, and Collaboration: Practical, New Technologies for User-centered Services” our Social Software & Libraries Workshop features some time devoted to user-created content. How cool is it then that in today’s USA Today, there’s an article devoted to YouTube: http://www.usatoday.com/life/2006-07-17-digital-youtube_x.htm But fame on YouTube doesn’t necessarily mean big bucks or a career in the movies. For many fledgling stars, it’s about recognition from peers, having a top video, maybe being noticed walking down the street. In other words, people, […]
