C201 Taking the library to the learner
Hannah Whaley, Uni of Dundee
Search has defined the Internet
Model the challenge, perspective between learners, systems and the library
Accuracy, easy, supportable
Digital natives have high expectations of what they can do online
Moving from federated search to indexed offsite, which is much faster
From librarians point of view, challenges - complexity of e resources, accuracy of info literacy, connection with students
Went with summon from Serials solutions, main search system, very clear search box and choices on left. Search box also on other pages of uni website. Also mobile version
Did study comparing open web to library system, better quality and more academic.
Faceted search more common from providers.
Balance gives great info literacy learning.
Dave Pattern, uni for huddersfield, @daveyp
Federated search too slow, google scholar more liked
Created wish list for ideal searching
One search box, fast results, simple, easy to maintain
Invited suppliers, chose Summon
Easy to implement. Records out of LMS, problems with deletions, didn't move all data, shows up crappy cataloguing (!?)
Now have 60 million records
Users say very easy to use. feedback v positive.
Accessing totality of content
Http://library.HUD.ac.uk/summon
Rurik Thomas Greenall, NTNU Library
@brixmatt
Responding to challenges, created projects
Most students wont use databases after they graduate, but will use google
Library can fill the gaps
Linked data
Sorry this was so techie I only understood one word in ten :)
Concentrate on what are needs of users, not what is shiny and new

Keynote #2 Getting real about social media
Hazel Hall Edinburgh Napier Uni
@hazelh and @lisresearch
Not what aren't we going to do but what are we going to do
Social media tools are part of real life not alternative (Shirky)
Social media are aggregators of people not data alone, experiences and lives
Information plus people
Social media provide additional platforms for traditional info delivery
Examples of sophisticated personal professional applications of social media demonstrate potential for further innovation
How we conceive relationships - tools info prof and end users determine provision
Tfpl report - opportunity and risk in social computing environments
Was Eramus last human to actually 'know everything'
Wikipedia not just encyclopaedia it also handles breaking news
Characteristics of social media
Function extend beyond initial conniption
Function is in the eye of the beholder
Social is a misnomer
Consider potential
Certain communities moving away from listservs/email and onto Twitter etc
Meeting people on twitter.
Using tools, eg tweetdeck and lists
Communication and knowledge sharing
Social media for library service delivery
Examples ~
Marketing and PR
Info discovery eg Delicious
Training
Virtual reference (chat)
News and current awareness
Sometimes at level of whole institution
Librarians often get into social media sooner than others in the institution
But where is user participation (rather than consumption)
Eg: Geek the Library on facebook
Need to develop our users as well as ourselves.
Understanding users needs but then also getting them to join in
Tactics
Coordinated conventional but also irregular practice and small network cells
Mobile phones and wireless access in library
Needs to be useful and also for sharing
Need to also follow end users in order to engage with them, understand their needs better
Foursquare - tour of library, hints and tips for students
Risks of social networking - worst is not making most of it
- Posted using BlogPress from an ISA iPad, liking it but I'm a pc at heart.

C105 Mashing Libraries to build communities
This one's for @ghostchicken
Www.soutron.com
Practical side to tying together technologies
Make the user community more in content, with partners outside the norm
Library system as repository, physical and electronic material
Mashing Libraries - O Stephens (Consultant and OU)
Mashup stems from music, for libraries means combining (digital) forms of information
Look for 'Scary Mary Poppins' YouTube
Mashing information
Much Info has geographic facet
Early Eg: taking info from google maps and craigslist, not affiliated to either
National mapping agencies making more data public, eg uk ordnance survey.
Data.gov.uk provide catalogue of info and more raw data
Suitable format and licensing are key to being able to re-use
Eg, local authority Warwickshire libraries new releases, ran competition for developers to build apps - one was taking 'new books' given creative commons licence, given digital look, tie into amazon and google preview. Provides extra info to users.
Another example was young people creating Facebook for library, aimed at other young people
How to Mash, putting Warwickshire Libraries on the Map
yahoo pipes - worksheet for piping data in certain way
Taking XML and re-presenting data in different ways
Used in Warwickshire to create map of libraries
Need to attend a Mashup event!
See www.mashedlibrary.com and wiki
