Talk:OLA-2006-LIRT

From Library Instruction Wiki

so i'm looking at doing an outline for the RA stuff...and i have a question. I thought we might fruitfully take a tech by tech approach to this thing...so we can say "oh this is what blogs are and these are some good blogs that are tools for you and here's how you might use blogs to DO readers advisory, and then this is a wiki, this is podcasting, etc.

this is NOT my natural inclination, i tend not to like that kind of "gee whiz" approach but maybe that makes sense for this particular setting??? what do you think?

The other way i can think of is to do big picture stuff and then look at: here are some ways you can use all of these technologies as tools and here's how you might use them with patrons. which i guess isn't that different.

What do you think about arranging it that way? --Rachel 19:08, 16 Mar 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

I with you that the gee-whiz type of approach isn't my usual inclination, but I think it might be best in this context. We've seen enough programs like this that we know they're popular and I think in this case with really good specific examples it will be entertaining. We can make sure to include one "big-picture" thing to think about in each one, and then at the end do a slide that summarizes all of those into "Web 2.0"

That said, I think a LEETLE big picture at the top is needed. Just enough to say "these are the types of emerging technologies we're going to be talking about here - we're not going to be talking about all things technological. We're going to talk about these and they have this in common.

AMD - you rock!!! --Rachel 18:12, 5 Jan 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

Hee. Okay - what about "Library 2.0" -- discussion, readings? Let the group come up with their own idea of what it would be and THEN present some other readings? --amd 19:58, 5 Jan 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

RE: outline

• Yes, I think that presenting web 2.0 in a general/theoretical way at the start makes sense. I don't think it's putting the cart before the horse at all. That's how I would most usefully learn from this information. We may want to think about some concrete examples to illustrate specific points, though, for those people who don't learn that way. Did I put that chart comparing "web 1.0" applications to web 2.0?" Maybe something like that but visually.

yeah, i thought the same thing, put up a visual of 1 --> 2 --Rachel 00:46, 23 Feb 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

• Are you thinking that we would spend roughly the same amount of time on each chunk? Because I think that tagging/ social bookmarking should take a much longer time than something like MySpace -- what do you think? Are we going to add Flickr in the social bookmarking section (or commit the heresy of not using it :-) ) --amd 00:22, 23 Feb 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

no i definitely don't think we'll spend the same amount of time/energy on all of it...i'm still a bit torn as to whether to even TALK about myspace and stuff...i mean, are we really going to be teaching our patrons to use those effectively for info seeking? i dunno...as for Flickr...i'm sort of for the heresy of not using it...i guess i don't see how it really fits in. we could certainly MENTION it as a place where a lot of tagging happens...what do you think? --Rachel 00:46, 23 Feb 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

I think that Flickr, for our purposes here, really is only relevant in two ways: as an example of tagging and as an example of how tagging & web 2.0 sharing can = resource discovery. I do think that Flickr is a good place for people to find images & a good place to start a conversation about the commons and permissions and IP issues. So it's relevant - but just on those levels. --amd 00:53, 23 Feb 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

Thinking about it on the way home - I don't think we do need to talk about the social networking sites at all - they don't have an info lit aspect that I could see --amd 01:56, 23 Feb 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

How about a mashup - like Frappr? We could use an Oregon map & see where everyone's from? --amd 01:46, 24 Feb 2006 (America/Los_angeles)

Hey Rachel - I made lots of changes to the first part of the outline. They just reflect how I was thinking about the beginning part in a more fleshed-out way -- if it doesn't make sense to you we can change it back or I'm sure you can also make it better! --amd 01:05, 9 Mar 2006 (America/Los_angeles)
