Books, media, tools, resources in all formats,
are for use and/or creation.
Every learner/user/patron/member his/her
media, tools, channels.
Every book or media, its user, consumer,
producer.
Help the learner/user/Patron become more
effective, efficient, and productive users and
creators of ideas and information, BUILDERS OF
KNOWLEDGE.
Library—virtual or physical—is a growing
organism, offering 24/7 anywhere/anytime
access, learning, connections and instruction.
● Books are for use
● Every reader his/her book
● Every book, its reader
● Save the time of the
reader
● A library is a growing

19. AASL’s new mission
The American Association of School Librarians empowers
leaders to transform teaching and learning.
What does transformative library leadership look like as we
rethink our platforms, collection, space and new opportunities
for instruction?
Leadership from the center is not new, but perhaps it is an
especially new school essential in a transitional time.
20. ACRL’s new framework
Authority Is Constructed and Contextual
Information Creation as a Process
Information Has Value
Research as Inquiry
Scholarship as Conversation
Searching as Strategic Exploration

cool ways?
24. Inertia. People at rest will
remain at rest, and people

“This study demonstrates that significant issues exist
with staff attentiveness to monitoring text reference.
Some improvement is also needed in areas of
friendliness and follow-up.These findings confirm a
need for the reference department to offer more in-depth
staff training than has previously been provided. Over
the next academic year, the researchers plan to create and
implement various support tools to educate staff about
performance targets. These tools may include sample
message templates or signature lines and guidelines for best
practices in providing text-reference service. The
researchers hope that the assessment rubric resulting from
this study will provide a template for other libraries to adapt
and implement in their own self-assessment” (p.307).

100. JV: So who is your audience?
Billy Parrott: At NYPL we have our own patron base. Mid-Manhattan has between 3,800 and
5,000 people a day coming through its doors, but NYPL as a brand, is far-reaching. There are
people on the other side of the world who follow what we do. They read our blogs; they go to
our website, they use our resources, but they will never be in the library.
So our audience may be the Mad Men fans who live in California who have never been to New
York to visit the Library, but they can still connect to the library through the things we do.
So, as far as audience, I am always thinking big picture. At the same time, if we do something like
a Mad Men reading list or a Pinterest board, there could be something relating to that in the
branch—a book display. So people come into the branch who may not know about the Pinterest
board, see a great display of Mad Men materials and see a link or a QR code or something that
will take them to a blog post or the Pinterest page.
People who are aware of our social media platforms may not aware of our collections. So it’s
making connections among our resources on multiple platforms.
101. BP: The most important thing is that the user needs to see that there is a person
behind the effort. There’s nothing wrong with scheduling tweets, but no one wants
to be talked at with a robotic feed of information.
It doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to add a little personality to a tweet to make
it seem more personal and you are talking with somebody, rather than at them. So
when it comes to Pinterest, you can treat it as your own personal board. I’ve got
some like Billy Parrot is Reading, Billy Parrott is Listening Too. I suspect people think
if this guy likes the same kind of images I like, I may very well like the same kind of
books he’s reading or music he’s listening to. If someone whose movie taste I admired
told me he also liked a book, I would trust his judgment.
I think it was a local market that came up with the phrase, “nobody will care until
you do.” If you engage, it makes the job fun. Engagement is connecting with people
who use the library or might not use the library but are aware of the library.

157. 1:1 / mobile is the new computer lab
More embedded librarianship suggests staffing needs when
librarians are out in classrooms. We are rethinking library
space once allotted to labs, in a device-agnostic ecosystem.
As more and more schools deploy tablets, librarians are tapped to
manage and distribute devices, implement instruction and
professional development, and thoughtfully select apps for
learning and creating.

The reading experience, the relationship between
author and reader, and the book itself are evolving.

Collaborations on Mendeley?
Sharing on Bibsonomy?
181. The library catalogue as a social space, or online community, draws together elements of
trust, interaction and contribution, discoverability, personalization and customization,
intuitiveness, belonging, and immediate access to information. In all, they create a level
of experience that has been, up until now, found only in the physical library.
(Tarulli & Spitiri, 108)

• personal: respond to interests and needs, Amazon-like suggestions-read-alikes
• mobile?
• Intuitive, “did you mean?”
• provide a virtual browsing experience
• folksonomy: user-generated tags, collaborative tagging
• support book clubs
• mine & leverage user-generated data to improve collection practices (click throughs,
cater to specific local needs)
• single search (federated/discovery and faceted/filtered)
• Visual shelf browse
• Lists
• Merge back office with RA services
• Make use of blogs
• Incorporate tools like NoveList and LibraryThing

203. Robin Good:
JV: Are librarians losing opportunities?
RG: So far, dear librarian, we have come to you. You’ve been sitting, and standing actually,
behind the desk. We’ve come to you for help to find information on a topic, to be guided
to the appropriate readings, related works of research, or novels that could inspire.
We’ve come to you, dear librarian. But now, the Internet reverses this. We ask Google. We
ask friends or our social networks where and how to find information.
But you, librarian, you are a container of deeply valuable information. So if you don’t make
yourself available, interceptable in a way that displays and showcases all that wonderful
knowledge, without requiring every single person to come and ask you in person and by
voice, you are really doing a disservice, not just to us, but to yourself. Start to
capitalize, to scale all the great work researching, studying, and organizing that you’ve
done, but provide the opportunity for others to access that knowledge and experience.
You do that by creating collections. There are millions of ways that librarians can become
guides. Start from your strongest interests and passions. We don’t expect every librarian
to be the reference point for everybody in the world, but we would like every librarian
to take a little part of it.
Someone might be interested in psychology or flying through the stars. Other are more
interested in poetry and algebra. That’s all fine if you can become a reference point to
indicate what are the things to study and then become more innovative with the
storytelling portion. Create YouTube videos.
This is what we need. We need people to guide us to the good stuff.

204. Social media IS the new media.
Get over it.
Social media is about learning, connecting, creating. It’s about relationships. It is
our landscape and it’s thorny, but it’s here and we need to leverage it and
teach in it. Our students deserve agency and the ability to engage and share
their voices creatively and academically. If social media is blocked, get it
unblocked. This is an urgent equity issue; it’s an intellectual freedom issue.
Lead the teaching in leveraging social media to model authentic ways to
communicate and collaborate, to build community, to let our children/patrons/
members participate!

242. Jenkins on participatory culture:
1. relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement
2. strong support for creating and sharing what you create with others
3. informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced gets passed
along to newbies and novices
4. members feel that their contributions matter
5. members feel some degree of social connection with each other. Not every
member needs to contribute but all need to feel that they are free to
contribute when they are ready and that what they contribute will be
appropriately valued if they do.

246. Flexible learning environments and maker spaces. .
Learning by doing, challenge-based, interest-driven, project-based,

area, with some portable, tech-friendly furniture can encourage
collaborating, creating, performing, and project-based,
personalized learning.
Among the options:
sewing, gardening, crafts; STEAM-oriented activities--coding and
engaging in electronics and robotics with Arduino, Squishy Circuits,
Brushbots, MaKey MaKey.

CrowdAsk provides librarians and users with an online, community-driven, and persistent help information source. Users on CrowdAsk receive research help from not only librarians, but also a community of researchers with expertise and shared interests. They were motivated through a variety of gamification means--points, badges, bounties, levels. In the spring 2014 semester we implemented
CrowdAsk with three undergraduate courses at Purdue University, including English 106, Management 175, and General Studies 175.
