- Not Done Yet: Charting a New Course for Librarianship
(14mb)
Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:00:03 -0500 Author: rdlankes@iis.syr.edu - The Library as Conversation (8mb)
Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:33:28 -0400 Author: rdlankes@iis.syr.edu
Every librarian has ?the story.? That story about linking a patron to a needed social service or helping someone get a job, or simply find the perfect book. These stories lie at the heart of the library. Books, videos, web pages, these are simply artifacts ? tools to aid in the libraries true mission of building knowledge. The keynote will outline a vision of libraries as true and participatory knowledge organizations. Organizations that facilitate the conversations of their communities, not simply provide access to a collection. - The Obligation of Leadership (7mb)

No matter how many users one talks to in designing a system, there will be a gulf between what a user wants and what a system can do. The belief that users even know what they want, or that somehow a library can correctly interpret the needs of users is at best presumptuous. To truly build systems that met the needs of users, we must let them build these systems directly. By transforming our library systems into participatory systems, not only do we better meet the needs of our patrons, we also build systems that reflect the core principles of librarianship ? getting away from simply adopting new technologiesdeveloped in other fields. This presentation will explore the concept of participatory systems, and talk about what from the Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 world is durable, and how to avoid the latest fads. - If They Build It They Will Come (6mb)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 22:02:18 -0400 Author: rdlankes@iis.syr.edu
If libraries are obsolete in 10 years, it?s your fault. It?s my fault too. As Alan Kay once said ?the best way to predict the future is to invent it.? So since we are the people ultimately responsible for creating the future, we are the future of the library. Assume for a moment ?they? are right ? you know, them. The ones who say that the Internet/ Mass Digitalization /Search Engines/ Wikipedia/Document Right Management/ Whatever is going to put libraries out of business. Assume that the stacks are bare, the coffee bars are empty, and the ivy is left to run riot over the columns. Is there still a library? If that strikes you as an odd question, let me ask you another one. Is the future of the library a question of stacks, coffee bars or ivy? - Same Old Story: Everything is Different (6mb)

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 21:02:40 -0400 Author: rdlankes@iis.syr.edu
Innovative Interface's Academic Library Director's Conference, Berkeley, CA. Abstract: Social is the rage across the Internet. Social bookmarking, social tagging, social networks. But what is social and why does it matter? Can we just make something, like a library social? How can concepts such as community conversations clarify the mission of the library and help direct us in how we build systems for today and tomorrow? David's presentation will explore aspects of social computing and present underlying concepts of, what he terms, "participatory librarianship". He will seek to go beyond today's Web 2.0 buzz words and explore ways that today's librarian can be effective and necessary in today's "social" world. - ?Conversations, Participation and Libraries?

Please note I'm trying a new way of making the podcasts (using my iPod and a microphone) for better sound quality. Hope it makes a difference. Thoughts on how libraries facilitate conversations. The idea is based on a simple theory: Knowledge is created through conversation; libraries are in the knowledge business; therefore, libraries are in the conversation business. Though libraries serve a vital role as community memory keeper, they often fall short of the ideal. Lankes will explain how by embracing the participatory online technologies from Web 2.0 libraries can advance not just their communities, but their positions within them. You?ll learn how adopting network concepts and software promotes the library?s most fundamental mission: knowledge creation and dissemination. - "Developing an Open Infrastructure for the Greater Good" ASIDIC Spring Meeting, Orlando, FL (11mb)

Both librarians and researchers will learn how they can participate in the collaborative DREW project.
