The Handheld Librarian 2009-An online conference about Mobile Library Services July 30 , 11:00am-5:30pm, Library West Room 212 More people than ever are using mobile devices for a wide variety of purposes including communication, internet access, text messaging, and entertainment. It is important that libraries provide services on these devices as use increases. The first ever Handheld Librarian Online on July 30, 2009 is the place to learn about these and other topics related to using wireless and handheld devices in your library. The program -- sponsored by Alliance Library System, LearningTimes and Infoquest -- will include a variety of ways to collaborate, network and learn from a great group of experts in the field. In addition to live interactive webcasts, we will have a collection of available resources, discussions boards, and access to the recording of all live events for one year after the conference.
Academic Librarianship by Design: Enhancing the libraries integration into Course / Learning Management SystemsJuly 28, 2:00-3:30pm, Library West Room 419 This webcast will explore the various methods that libraries can employ to further integrate their services and information literacy programs into Course/Learning Management Systems(e.g. Blackboard, ANGEL, eCollege). This integration is crucial because students and faculty are increasingly using these systems as a primary means to deliver course content. It is vital that the library be fully integrated into this environment to take advantage of the resources sharing, communication, and assessment tools that these systems offer. Using Blended Librarian principles, the webcast will also explore and examine current ‘case studies’ that demonstrate how to appropriately identify and design library services for a Course/Learning Management System environment both at a course-level and a system-level.
Connecting Users with Collections July 8, 2:00-2:30pm, Library West Room 212 August 7, 3:00-3:30pm, Library West Room 212 Connecting users to our collections is the goal of any library – how does the library catalog fit in? In this thought provoking presentation Jean Phillips, from the Florida Center for Library Automation, inspires us to think carefully about the catalog as it transitions into a next generation discovery tool better suited to help our users find what we have to offer. You can expect to take a brief walk through several creative uses of the catalog, from an end user perspective. This presentation has direct practical applications for library staff to bring about fresh ideas for improved library interfaces
