Top Ten Links Week 38 – Positive Feedback, Library Trends, TechnoLiteracy and More

My personal select top ten from the links I shared on Twitter 9/17/2010 through 9/23/2010. The best of the best and/or the most important stuff I tweeted last week. 1. read this. bookmark it. live it. The Power of Positive Feedback Mere acknowledgment of good performance increases the probability of more good performance. And specificity of feedback — telling the person exactly what you liked about what they did andwhy you liked it — dramatically increases the likelihood of that performance occurring again. 2. a Must read! RT @vonburkhardt: Good post by @aarontay about hype | A few heretical thoughts about library tech trends - Aaron Tay takes a close look at mobile websites, QR codes and SMS reference and, I gotta say, I agree with him. This is a blog devoted to covering new tech that might be used for  libraries to benefit users. That said, there are times when I wonder whether some of the current tech trends that are hot now will end up being duds or dead ends (in fact some definitely will, the million dollar question is which ones!).  It’s very easy to get into a condition that some have dubbed as “techno-lust”, so let me play

My personal select top ten links from Twitter 7/23/2010 through 7/29/2010. The best of the best and/or the most important stuff I tweeted last week 1. So-Called “Digital Natives” Not Media Savvy, New Study Shows via @colleengreene – I know the concept of digital natives has been popular but anyone who works with the generation knows that it is inaccurate there is a huge divide between those with the access to technology, never mind the know-how to use it. 2. AssortedStuff » We Need More Tech Skeptics – more on the idea of digital natives 3. Five tips for asking better questions – asking questions is easy, asking good questions is hard. Good questions require creative thinking. When you’re lost, look for questions, not answers. Think of your career path as a question path. Asking good questions takes work – that you have to do yourself. Field other peoples’ questions to get better at asking questions. 4. great perspective But who will speak for the trees? – a different look at ebooks from someone who does not work in libraries 5. great tips for speakers – How do we balance technical v. non technical for a mixed audience? as a tech
