  • Year One Postmortem
  • 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)

  • With PRaM committee folks and RNC folks on this group, we could do the tech planning to creating the directory for staff bios/cvs for collaboration: Jason and Dan and others already have this, so it’s just organizing and helping others to do the same (and a blog “about” page could do it as well for individual blogs, but we should have a central list for research/collaboration at UF and with others outside–patrons, researchers, and more), and this would help support the Speaker’s Bureau (mentioned here, but I can’t find it). We would do the tech side (how to auto-update, where best placed/structure on the website, and then how to connect to blogs, FB, speaker’s bureau, and RNC and PRaM would also have input, and once all of us agree, then we can present it to the directors for consideration)
  • 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
