It was really great to present my paper to the Unconferencewa 2008 as I had first floated the ideas at the 2007 Perth Unconference event and than wrote them up into a paper and presentation for ALIA Beyond the Hype Conference.

The show of interest in the topic indicates that perhaps there are quite a few of us interested in the idea of enhancing the role we can play in supporting society in general in acquiring knowledge or understanding.  Maybe it was just a vague intrigue in the topic.  In anycase it was great to get peoples feedback on some of the ideas raised.

For me it's the underlying experiences of working in the NGO sector and trying to respond to peoples desire to become more involved in environmental and human rights issues and to do that they need and want to understand the context and arguments that inform these issues.  I think libraries will have to be brave to venture into trying to provide this for society in general but I think there is a lot of value to it and their couldn't be a better time for it when so many of the problems we currently face in the world need for everyone to be motivated to take some action.

I have set up the slide presentation and paper on a new wiki site I am experimenting with so please follow this link if you are interested in having a look.

Also here is the page I set up on this wiki after last years presentation trying to articluate some early thoughts.

Cheers Lucia

This session grappled at trying to understand what Web 3.0 was and what it might mean for the library profession. Lucia started the discussion off by reading part of her paper "Grasping at the Shifting Sands of Web Futures for Libraries" which she wrote to begin to articulate her own early understanding of what Web 3.0 or the Semantic Web referred to from having attended the ALIA Beyond the Hype Conference in February 2008 and from her own reading.  

One of the speakers at this conference was Dr Sherman Young who was effusive about the potential for the semantic web to enable the building of applications that can respond to peoples precise information needs.  The technological buidling blocks that support this are both the opening up of the silos of data and enhancements in the quality of the meta-data.  The latter is being supported by the work of the W3W consortium.   Lucia's paper went on to raise questions about the commercialisation of the applications that would bring information together in meaningful ways and what this would mean for the principles of free access to information held by libraries.  For library IT professionals like Richard Wallis it is an important time for libraries to evolve to be a key player in the world of the semantic web and as Dr Young stressed it is a contested environment and so the nature of Web 3.0 will be dependent on the outcome of the competing social, economic and political interests.  

• Recreation/Study/Work
• Purpose of Web 2.0 applications in the library setting
• Different expectations
• Technology literacy and take-up

• Delicious/ igoogle
• Library wiki
• Subject pages
• RSS feeds
• Blog – user updates – SDI
• Screen casts – library catalogue, databases, journal lists

• Staff culture
• User resistance
• IT networks, infrastructure, firewalls and other restrictions. Example: SBS program is free to view online (health and culture) but unable to be viewed as unable to download such large files to network.
• Security settings set by organisation – unable to change to allow access to some sites.
• Management misunderstanding of place of new technologies in work
• Time
• Organisational rules:   Web 2.0 seen as for fun, therefore sites are blocked. Example: Breastfeeding video (nurse) in YouTube
• Need for interoperability
• There is a lack of training in Web 2.0 for staff and corporate misunderstanding of the value of such training when it is available.         

• Information sharing
• User education
• SDI, current awareness
• Portability
• Tapping into what users know – getting on the same wavelength
• Wikis for information sharing, RSS feeds for updates and awareness for both staff and users i.e. procedures manuals or staff training.
• Accessible inside current applications – RSS feeds from databases, tagging and bookmarking – acceptable and usable
• Web 2 publishing makes resources more accessible than ever before
• Podcasts for user education
• Portal technology to customise information to user, use as an information package

• Work vs Recreation
• Security
• IT infrastructure and support
• Bureaucracy

• Playpen area
• 23 things as a team
• WAGLIN – can we address issues as a network?
• Prepare, Share, Persevere!

Screen capture (aka screen grab, screen shot)

A method of "capturing" a snapshot of your computer screen.

Most basic form: pressing the "Print Scrn" key on your keyboard

 

Slidecasting

Slideshare (slides) + podcast (any mp3 URL) = slidecast (slides/mp3 mashup)

A new multimedia format for viewing slide decks synchronized with an audio file

 

Screencasting

Screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.

Just as a screenshot is a picture of a user's screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of what a user sees on their monitor.

Session 1 - Computers and Persuasion

capitology - computer assisted persuasion

how technologies persuade

computers control behaviour - eg can't tag off if get off at an unauthorised bus stop.

computer enthusiasm not age related more attitude related
