Just a fun post tonight before I unplug… happy weekend! http://www.hetemeel.com/einsteinform.php 7 Reasons Web 2.0 Enabled Toys Are Good For Libraries & Librarians Ponder how this little toy might be used in your library — to promote a service or program, for the Web site, etc. And what might you do with it? To promote training: http://www.flickr.com/photos/slzimm1/110538194/ To challenge libraries to change: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ricklibrarian/112894125/ To define those changes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelcasey/109337168/ To offer the chance to dream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/111429776/ To promote a URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauren_pressley/111545921/ To send best wishes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/librarianmer/113385186/ Or congratulations: http://www.flickr.com/photos/travelinlibrarian/103882336/ Tired of Einstein? How HOT is this promo for an IM service?
Lots of interesting Web 2.0 bits in my aggregator this morning, as I prepare to sign on the dotted line for a condominium in Oak Park, Illinois! (I may faint when I sign…) Anyway: Greg Schwartz reports on a library branded podcatcher! This is important on many levels: the library sees the need to use a Web 2.0 tool but also gets the importance of branding the service. Go Lansing PL! I think Illinois Libraries ROCK! http://openstacks.net/os/archives/000929.html Have you branded your L2/Web 2.0 services for your library? Is the wiki/blog/IM presence linked to the linbrary and its online look and […]
Via David King: http://www.davidleeking.com/2006/03/15/10-reasons-to-love-web-20-from-a-flickr-dude/ David writes: These are notes I took while listening to a podcast of Cal Henderson from Flickr, titled “From Web Site to Web Application – Ten Reasons to Love Web 2.0.”, who spoke at “The Future of Web Apps” conference. You can find it (and a lot of others) on the Carson Workshops/Summit website. Cal’s definition of web 2.0: “Web 2.0 is a name for a bunch of new web-based applications.” Simple enough… There’s a lot of good stuff here. Take a look!
Christine Brown at Waterloo Public Library writes: I thought you might be interested in reading this job posting for a Librarian 2.0 at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library: http://www.accessola.com/site/showPage.cgi?page=career/graduate/jG0324_kfplL.html From what I’ve read and observed on my own, I would guess that the use of Web 2.0 technologies in libraries has been embraced more readily in academic libraries. Its great to see that public libraries are recognizing the need. It is! We can add this to the Next Generation Librarian job at Wayne State and the School Media Specialist 2.0 Jenny reported. It’s intriguing to see what specific job duties […]
I’ve had a post like this in the back of my head for weeks now — really since I started messing with Apple’s iLife ’06, an application suite that makes podcasting and video creation a breeze! I wanted to write about what benefits a library would gain by buying a Mac or two (or more) to offer what I’ve been calling “Digital Creation Stations.” While putting together our reading list and outlines with Jenny for the ALA Library 2.0 project, I reread Jessamyn’s Library 2.0: How do you share? and discovered Mathew Dames’ post about just such a thing! So, […]
One of the projects I’m working on in my six month break between SJCPL and Dominican is the prototype library futures course at ALA. I wrote about it here. The course will examine the principles of Library 2.0 and how ALA might use some of the same tools and thinking to create or improve services. Jenny Levine is my co-author for the six week course and co-presenter with me for the opening and closing sessions. To get started, we’d like to hear from you! Here’s what Jenny posted at The Shifted Librarian: The first order of business is creating a […]
