  5. A Handful of Social Tools How can we create open and participatory library services with these tools?

  6. Podcasts

  7. Podcasting Basics • Syndicated audio content • Like a radio program • Easy to create with some simple open source tools: • Audacity • iPodder • iTunes

  8. Podcasting • Enhances library web presence with multimedia • Can be time consuming to create • Limited methods of linking, feedback and indexing. • Fascinating to see what comes next

  9. Podcasting? • Are libraries podcasting? Yes! • What are they doing???: • Add podcasts to circulating iPods (or your favorite media player) to market library & services • Podcast as training tool for databases and online library tools (Duke Divinity) • Get clearance to record interviews with library guests… lively content!

  14. RSS

  15. RSS • Really Simply Syndication • Lets you create content in one place but display it in other places • Aggregators • Websites • Internal – portals, intranets, updates, communication • External – other websites, direct-to-user, Web 2.0 • Gets you found in places you normally wouldn’t be found

  16. “Automated Web Surfing” When people ask me what RSS is, I say it's automated web surfing. We took something lots of people do, visiting sites looking for new stuff, and automated it. It's a very predictable thing, that's what computers do -- automate repetitive things. Dave Winer

  17. Ubiquitous RSS?

  18. Aggregators • PC: Amphetadesk, News Gator • Mac: NetNewsWire, iBlog • Web: Bloglines (www.bloglines.com), Blog Bridge (www.blogbridge.com)

  19. Examples of Library Syndication • News • Local community events • New book lists • Images • Assignment alerts • New resources • Podcasts!

  20. With RSS Librarians can: • Keep in the know about many topics! • Help your users find your stuff • Syndicate audio/video content about their library (podcasts & videocasts)

  21. Selling RSS to your Staff/Users • Teach them about it • Promote your feeds • Use them yourself! • Be ready… it’s going to be big

  24. Wikis

  25. Wikis Wiki: “…a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. The term Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website…. The name is based on the Hawaiian term wiki wiki, meaning ‘quick’ or ‘informal’…. The Portland Pattern Repository was the first wiki, established by Ward Cunningham on March 25, 1995. He invented the wiki name and concept, and implemented the first wiki engine.” -- Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
