Robin Hastings – Web 3.0

July 10, 2009 · Posted in ALA Annual 2009 · View Comments 

Symantec tagging
Microformats – hcard
Web as a database – rdf, subset of xml
Rdfdata.org
Instead of holding all info in proprietary databases data will be coded
Data.gov
SPARQL – sql for rdf
Web as application – mashups
Questions:
How many security issues are we looking at? Shouldn’t put any info out there that is sensitive
Has anyone looked at DDS attacks against this sort of thing, it would be pretty easy to take one down – no that she knows of
When you say microformats I think fiche – what does microformat mean in a web3.0 context – way to tag your content in a semantic way, defines text
Are we putting metadata in there, like subject headings? \ doesn’t know of one geared towards books
Tim Donahue – Zotero (FF extension) uses a lot of microformats
Are there any CMS embracing microformats? Drupal has modules that will produce content in microformat and maybe wordpress

Rachel Vacek –Libraries Using Mobile Devices

July 10, 2009 · Posted in Digital Services · View Comments 

Instead of focusing on mobile needs of library users, focusing on mobile needs of librarians, some librarians were more interested in a netbook
Every librarian got an ipod touch or a netbook
Ideas that are needed the most will probably be the most difficult to implement because involve a proprietary ILS
Geeks just waiting to program things, look for collaboration in your community
Create buyin
Petting zoo
Don’t’ be afraid to play
Share your experiences
Questions:
Which IlS are you hoping to build a mobile interface for? IEEE
What apps will be discussed in class? Where is the book, some sort of call number guide, being able to renew a book

July 10, 2009 · Posted in ALA Annual 2009 · View Comments 

All the ways you can read stuff that is not in a book anymore – ipod touch, amazon kindle, has its own wireless network and email address, eink technology, biggest group of kindle owners over the age of 50, price dropped last week to $300
Audiobooks – not just bcds and cassette, but need to deal with drm and compatibility issues, overdrive still doesn’t work with Mac,
Playaway – great for
Kindle plays audible,com files
Over 52% of users get their audiobooks fro a library
Do you think the kindle is a step on the way to something bigger and better? Discussing more linked in content – Jessica – no, she thinks all of that could come to the kindle

Jason Griffey – I do lots of stuff google me
Ubiquitous computing – computers everywhere, mobile phones, net books, kindles
Devices to devices, no longer devices to server
Metcalfs law
Free – Chris Anderson
Cant compete on cost so much make things easies
Questions & Comments from Office:
What about server costs? – how can you distribute free content when backend stuff costs? Jasson – bit torrent you distributed over a number of people who willing to share cost
When you talk about servers are you talking about Tech or traditional such as a reference librarian might provide.
Why itunes succeeds is an interface issue
People will buy it because its easy and there is a uniform front
Does quality have any role here? Should we rebrand ourselves as quality – Griffey – no
