The main notion that I came away with from this conference has been that it has grown necessary to build communities around library digital and physical collections. Our library customers are living more and more online, and to reach our customers, we have to bring them virtually to our collections. The main way to do this is through creating a buy-in by building a community around our collections, through allowing customer ownership of our metadata, e.g. via tags, reviews, and other social media.
"tech. is a queer thing. It brings great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other" -- C.P. Snow
The following are my notes from the conference.
Guest Speaker: Lee Rainie "pew internet Project"
Information Fluency --
25% who don't use internet (poorer, older, language)
2 thirds use the cloud
57% are social networking site users
37% share photos
30% share personal creations
30% contribute rankings and ratings
28% create content tags
26% post comments on sites and blogs
19% use Twitter /ouother status update features (mostly gen x'ers use twitter)
15% have personal website
15% are content remixers
14% are bloggers
Manuel Castells "the Internet Galaxy"
1) Techno-elites (hippies and scientists)
2) Hackers (free expression ought to dominate : Richard Stallman)
3) Virtual Communitarians : Free communication Early Usenet groups
4) Entrepreneurs (brought to rest of us)
5) Networked Creators (5th estate: Democratized the voices in media; challenged traditional media gatekeepers; Inserted themselves in
"expert" affairs; Enhanced their civic and community roles
-- 37% of internet users contributed to news
-- 20% contributed to health content
-- 19% contributed to civic and political activities
Social Communities:
Produce content that helps them expand their social network and increase their social standing
MacArthur Foundation Team macfound.org -- digital literarcy
negotiating friendship, status, identity
creating spaces for building social networks among friends AND those who share their interests
creating learning opportunities
gaining reputational capital
Produce content to create social posses to solve problem
fact checking and transparency
crowdsourcing wisdom, especially among "strangers" who share a common purpose
Production and accumulation of evidence that is easily search-able
Produce content to construct "just in time" support groups
lung cancer example
perform on the fly; birds of a feather; Communities are "space-less"
Social Media-sphere is the "5th estate"
They have different concerns than the normal media.
concerned with tech topics
off-beat stories
American exceptionalism stories
Cultural cleavages and social issues more than economic issues (Blue and Red stuff)
Implications for libraries: (from Pam Burger)
You can be a node in people's social networks as they seek information to help them solve problems and meet their needs.
You can teach new literacies
screen literacy - graphics and symbols
navigation literacy
connections and context literacy
skepticism
value of contemplative time
how to create content
ethical behavior in new world (not all rules have been crafted)
You need to re-vision your role in a world where much has changed
- access to info
- value of info
- curating info means more than collections
- creating media

Building Digital Communities with Digital Collections -- Jim DelRosso
People come to library for physical collections and reference assistance
reference services have come around digital pretty well
talk is centered around digital collections
Why do communities form around a collection:
- interests
- owenership
- investment
Interests
-- what do users need?
-- what do we do when they want something but conflicts what they need
-- Assessment (reference interview)
We need to think about what the VALUE of what we have? -- Outcome-Based Assessment (Based on Reuben (author))
Find what they want -- tell them how you're doing it (marketing).
-- Outreach to faculty
-- Surveys of Constituients (using Google Analystics)
-- Need to dig deeper into how user audiences interact with collections (cited example of a small database that
small group of users used, but considered it vital).
-- Cornell University -- DigitalCommons@IRL -- lawyers use this (just a pdf collection), however, some undergraduates
may come to it through google search (what about them?)
Ownership
-- stacks that were opened now closed
-- student carrols keeping books
-- User-created content
-- User-sponsored content
-- User-organized content
He is uploading a lot of user-created content to DigitalCommons@ILR. (e.g. Facutly create stuff, they put online)
User will ask that they create a collection (e.g. compensation research initiative)
The Library is still the one who approves what is put in the Commons
What else can we do? tagging? Folksonomies? (example Powerhouse Museum Collection, in Australia -- they let anyone tag
and anyone delete the tags .. ******
Maybe start letting people organize material they want?
Browsing? River Campus Libraries -- new title book cover pics move ********* Like a Pandora for Books
http://orweblog.oclc.org Dempsy Lorcan webblog
Undesireable content? should moderate comments -- however, tagging, communities can weed them
Investment
When people edit the tags, they have investment
What does investment look like? -- users interacting more directly with the collection (more tagging or putting something up)
Wikipedia having trouble with people sustaining intersts in keeping up articles
You know investment is working when users interact more directly with each other.
Then investment looks a lot like a community.
Need to make sure digital collection is sustained. Have to make it functional and create a community around it.

Growing compentcies
How do you envision change: see barries, but then don't work around them
Cloud Solution: Google Apps
National Geographic moved everything over to google apps (archieved and centralize)
-- managment: dashboard features settings -- messaging: mail calendars chat -- collaboration: documents groups sites
Not the free google apps, but brough Sutie Product
Created free messaging account via Google Apps -- includes docs and sites (google sites (bought her own domain name))
Fav aspects of Google apps
1.) realtime access -- collaboration
2.) mashups: without having to know technical
3.) automatically builds in our disaster paln
4.) risk takers : continual growth / new opportunities (Dindin ? )
5.) Google listens to them , along with other users

From Opac to a Sopac
John Blyberg -- opensource sopac
You want info you want people to find -- community WANTS to interact with
two way model -- build a community around the content ***
You have controls (not like internet)
Amazon is a good example of a Sopac (years ago was more like an Opac)
use tags, ratings, comments (opac and a blog not a sopac)
definition -- where vetted data is used to inform
80% of what company knows is in people's heads, and 50% are leaving.
Putting ideas in a sopac, helps capture some of that
libraries espcially, front office and back offices are completly different
OPAC becomes just another silo
users want to contribute not just consume, want to organize not just use our taxnonomy.
but we need to moderate; we become the HUB of the information; We have a Social Volume Knob
not everybody will contribute, but it does grow; not everybody DOES have to contribute
Librarian Speaker uses "Presto" -- talks about special collections (The Revs Collection)
Discovery Tools -- suppose to be fun -- Entertainment (like amazon, Library Thing) (? Rally up ?)
Information discovery are not lineral -- Social knowledge network
(bon appetite)

presto includes the metadata tools and the social networking
The SOPAC becomes a social document (fans coming in leaving comments)
----------------------------------------------------------
SOpac 2.1 -- John Blyberg wrote social catalog, SOPAC
built on drupal content management system
wanted it to be opensource
can have coolest website, then click catalog, they are in the ghetto
Wanted to build a digital branch
Darien Library, Ann Arbor District Library and some others
He works at Darien Library : very cool site! http://www.darienlibrary.org/
the user never leaves drupal (use locum (business) and insurge (social))
has a connector piece that can be used with any ILS system ****
User experience driven
tagging in SOPAC ; gets re-indexed into keyword -- Staff favorites one tag they use
another one "Better than the book" tag for DVD's ; "Meet us on Main Street" -- program on Wesnesday
a coffee group with librarians with a readers advisor type a meeting, so they keep a list of books

Wednesday keynote
Ken Haycock
built a library school all online (School of library & info science, San Jose Univ.)
don't promote yourself, doomed to defend yourself
Connecting with audience, how can we help them with THEIR agenda
Influence is different than power. Power is more about control.
Successful people are influential : trust, good rep, self confidence, competence.
Chose 8 people to be your personal board of directors.
public relations is NOT advocacy
Advocacy -- Planned, deliberate, sustained effort to develop understanding and support
incrementally over time (know what is important to society, and meet those needs)
Advocacy is about respect; Connecting agendas; People do things for their agendas, not ours;
you can't make a withdrawl until you make a deposit;
meek may inherit the earth, but i assure you, the news will never get out.
Universal Principles : reciprocation, authority, commitment/consistency, scarcity, liking, social proof
Lack of faith in ourselves is our greatest obstacle
Do lunch, or you are lunch
No whining
if you thank people will be nice to you because you are nice, its like expecting a bull to be nice to you because
you are a vegeterian

Content Containers -- Stephen Abrams
Stephen's Lighthouse blog
When things are open, does info need a container? Cloud?
What does Social change? What does the human container mean to books, articles, etc.
You need to be "friended" to your users, had a friend who friended nano technologists, and worked
with them as a librarian
The API Cloud
Amazon API; Google Books API, Wolfram alpha, OCLC WorldCat, youtube, twitter, etc.
What about APPs? -- dieing because of HTML5
re-imagine your SPACE, both physical and virtual
Old Containers: aren't going away!; however, they are losing market and mindshare, especially in the discovery and learning space.
Looking at the traditional Experiences.
Container Success:
* Focus on the end users in context
* content is not enough
* focus on the results of the experience
* learning, social, entertainment, community, hobbies, etc.
* collectors not collections, learners not teachers, readers not authors, publishers or librarians
Issues in experience Pubishing:
* design for use not clicks (if clicking through gives you experience)
* transformations not transactions
* learning styles
* psychographics
* technology adoption and penetration (finding jobs in facebook and twitter)
* learning curves (people in communities can't get a job when appication is only online)
* multiple intelligences
* target market differences
* tuning - e.g. flesch-kincaid, lexiles, levelling, levelled reading
Do you measure clicks, or do you measure satisfication and success.
Challenge: knowledge portals, experience portals, learning portals, transformations not transactions
can we manage the 21sts book?
we need to be skillful with web 2.0 so that users can have an engaging experience
Reading still matters.

You need to be "friended" to your users, had a friend who friended nano technologists, and worked
with them as a librarian
The API Cloud
Amazon API; Google Books API, Wolfram alpha, OCLC WorldCat, youtube, twitter, etc.
What about APPs? -- dieing because of HTML5
re-imagine your SPACE, both physical and virtual
Old Containers: aren't going away!; however, they are losing market and mindshare, especially in the discovery and learning space.
Looking at the traditional Experiences.
Container Success:
* Focus on the end users in context
* content is not enough
* focus on the results of the experience
* learning, social, entertainment, community, hobbies, etc.
* collectors not collections, learners not teachers, readers not authors, publishers or librarians
Issues in experience Pubishing:
* design for use not clicks (if clicking through gives you experience)
* transformations not transactions
* learning styles
* psychographics
* technology adoption and penetration (finding jobs in facebook and twitter)
* learning curves (people in communities can't get a job when appication is only online)
* multiple intelligences
* target market differences
* tuning - e.g. flesch-kincaid, lexiles, levelling, levelled reading
Do you measure clicks, or do you measure satisfication and success.
Challenge: knowledge portals, experience portals, learning portals, transformations not transactions
can we manage the 21sts book?
we need to be skillful with web 2.0 so that users can have an engaging experience
Reading still matters.
