After the Expo:

• Policy Drafts, to help support and move forward tools:
  • Draft LibGuides policy and send to directors
  • Draft policy for wikis Wikis and send to library and then to directors
• Working on other technologies with others from around the Libraries, including Tom, Michele, Laura, Stacey, and all else who are interested
• In general: Help train on using blogs, LibGuides, VIVO, Second Life, and further support interested tech users

  Compiling and promoting existing materials (screencasts, videos)

• Goal is to connect with patrons

Some of the other many possibilities to consider moving on:

• Survey and focus groups: Elizabeth, Jason, Marilyn,  are interested (and Missy in terms of giving the survey to the ENC classes)
• Other new technologies:
  • LibraryThing, Libra

    Cool social networking-ish, but also serves needs for creating visual browses using RSS feeds from catalog items, promoting events...

  • Another cool Zotero cool, this one is for annotating video
  • SXSW Award Winners; Discovery using Flock; meetings using Twiddla
  • Maximizing RSS: Auto RSS feeds from Ares to LibGuides course pages? Other? RSS from catalog for departments (part of liaison/outreach)?
  • Flex Apps?
  • New Services from the Library/Marketing/Outreach (random thoughts)

    Speaker's Bureau - and examples of online talks, references...

    (Individual pages for staff people with areas of expertise? if done, how to make it maintainable/what format)?

    LibGuides, working with faculty to make guides for classes and get linked from WebCT/Moodle based on area?

    Other faculty services--online exhibits, featuring faculty on website in some sort of "meet the authors/researchers"?

    Project could be to redo Library History as an online book with historical pics in Flash-flip to make the library look cool (anyone could do this)?

    POD?

  • University Archives--how to visualize pictures in it as a prototype for all collections?
  • Recommended tool page for staff, like CutePDF for making PDFs?
• Tagging and Other projects: updates
