Working Towards a Definition of Library 2.0. Looking First at Web 2.0 Yesterday’s public release of Flock has created some reluctant questioning among proponents of Web 2.0, with the best comments coming from WeBreakStuff. For anyone who may not know, Flock is a new browser – actually it’s built on Firefox – that integrates your Delicious feeds into the browser itself.
Flock also makes blogging a bit easier by integrating a blog editor into the browser. However, WeBreakStuff is spot on when they say, “But being 100% honest, I’m still not sure I’m changing my browser to have a way to integrate delicious and a blogging tool into my browsing experience.” When was the last time you changed your browser? I switched to Firefox about twelve months ago and have been with them ever since, leaving IE and Opera behind. Products offering incremental improvements in technology -- like Flock-- can no longer ask the user to make such fundamental changes. So how does this all fit into Library 2.0? 151-Saw_Todd-trans-fr.pdf (Objet application/pdf) 2.0 » EXIGEONS de nos prestataires des fonctionnalités 2.0 sur nos OPAC! Cet article a été publié il y a 5 ans 7 mois 9 jours, il est donc possible qu’il ne soit plus à jour. Les informations proposées sont donc peut-être expirées. Parce que c’est nous, bibliothécaires, qui devons dire à nos prestataires ce que nous voulons et surtout pas l’inverse, parce qu’ils ont des intérêts commerciaux à nous vendre du « 2.0 propriétaire », à réinventer la poudre en fournissant des CMS fermés ou à aller tellement lentement qu’ils contribuent largement à renforcer l’inertie de nos organisations, je relaie ici l’excellente idée de Laurent de Jvbib cet été.
Participez sur Bibliopedia, le wikipedia de la bibliosphère, à l’élaboration collective du cahier des charges du site de bibliothèque et de l’opac de vos rêves! L’idée de cette page est de recenser tout ce qu’on attend aujourd’hui d’un site de bibliothèque, et en particulier de la partie opac. Encore une fois ça ne se fera pas tout seul…participez !

Librarians Matter » Blog Archive » 20 reasons why learning emerging techologies is part of every librarian’s job. In my last post, Why should I learn about that when I’m busy with other stuff? , I concluded that if library staff are going to trade a couple of hours a week to learn about emerging technologies that they can’t even use yet in their jobs, then there better be some compelling reasons for it. With items to catalogue, instructional material to write, users to help, budgets to balance, outreach to plan and systems to troubleshoot, why is it good management for staff to be released from these tasks to spend some time learning about emerging technologies?
Here’s my list. I’d love to know what’s on yours. 1. Core business. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. I’m finishing this post with a ranty little manifesto: Do we have to know every new application that is released?
