Day two was excellent! Here are my favorite take-aways:
Keynote: Three Keys to Engaging Digital Natives
Michaelle Manafy, Director of Content, Free Pint Limited
Digital natives are all about public opinion, not private lives.
Andy Warhol’s saying “everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” has changed to “Everyone will be famous to 15 people.” – Tara Hunt, The Whuffie Factor
Digital natives are a generation interested in knowledge sharing, not knowledge hoarding.
This generation has more faith in peer-generated content; more confidence in content they helped create.
Summary:
Public opinion not private lives
Knowledge sharing not knowledge hoarding
Interactions not transactions.
MetaSocial: Making Online & Mobile Interactions Rock!
David Lee King, Digital Branch & Services Manager, Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library and and Publisher, davidleeking.com
Sarah Houghton-Jan, Assistant Director, San Rafael Public Library and and author of LibrarianInBlack.net
Nate Hill, Web Librarian, San Jose Public Library
What’s Meta Social?
-Status updates: share multimedia, links, “real connections to your customers.”
-Long posts: wiki, blog, description of Flickr photo. Share reviews, articles
-Comments: primary patrons can communicate with staff. Creates conversation.
-Visual: Vimeo, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, embed these services elsewhere.
-Checking in: Yelp, 4sq, Facebook. Share where you go/visit., like your library, a library event.
-Quick stuff: liking, poking, sharing, favoriting, starred items.
How to make them Rock:
-Listen! See if people are talking about you/your library/your staff. Search for a zip code +book ie: “48170 books” or “48170 reading”. Respond with something like “library has that book!”
-Set up Google Alerts, Twitter searches, follow a tag in flickr
-Friending: let people friend you and friend them back. Focus on the people in your service area rather than anyone anywhere.
-Start conversations. Ask questions that elicit responses.
Sarah Houghton-Jan: Augmented Reality
GPS + camera + accelerometer. Use all three to use data to relate to real-life spaces & objects you are surrounded with.
Wordlens: point camera at anything with text. It’ll translate. English to Spanish, working on more.
