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

I’m at the ALA Unconference all day today. They have a great set up for as many topics as possible, with a lot of short presentations that are 7 minutes with 5 minutes for questions a couple of break out sessions. I’ll be blogging the short presentations separately to keep topics and possible comments separate. So lots of short blog posts today!Similar Posts:

why are people coming into the libraries? Use the computer, Internet access on laptop, to just read the newspaper in the company of others

library as a town activity center including things as swimming pool

Earlier this year Robin and I heard that some of our nieghbors in Kansas were planning an Unconference, calling it Kansas Library Camp.  We agreed that Missouri needed one of these so we made plans to crash their conference, borrow their ideas and started the search for funding for a Missouri Library Camp.  Everything was going great, we were welcomed at Kansas Library Camp and ideas were shared freely, and we found a grant we thought would cover expenses.  Fast foward to yesterday, we found out we did not get the grant.  Time for Plan B, er, except well we don’t have one.  So it’s brainstormign time.  It’s time for Missouri Librarians to get together and figure out how we can make this happen.

Where can we have it?  We need a location that offers wifi access and will allow for about 100 people to get together.  Places to eat nearby and volunteers to help oranize it. 

So what is an unconfernece?
It’s an opportunity for conversation among Librarians without the structure of a conference. Basically it’s the dialogue that happens in the halls, at lunch, and at dinner at a conference. It gives Librarians a chance to explore new ideas, discuss problems and challenges and make connections with other Librarians.

Goals

• To network with other Librarians
• Share ideas and resources
• Learn about solutions and innovations

One more follow up to Library Camp Kansas, Joshua M. Neff  was interviewed for LISNews.  As one of the attendees I was really interested to hear his post unconference take on things.  Take a listen!

Again thank you to Brenda, Josh, Erin and Jason for organizing this wonderful event!Similar Posts:

Let me say upfront that Library Camp Kansas was a huge success! Everything went off a without a hitch and so many great ideas were exchanged!

If you’re wondering where my notes are from Session 2, I didn’t take any, it happened over lunch and it wasn’t convenient to be eating and typing.

Registration was from 9-10, at 10 the Unconference officially kicked off. Brenda Hough opened about a story on NPR Marketplace about an unconference where 80 people signed up and only 4 showed up. Lib Camp KS had about 100 people sign up and it looked like we were all there!

Brenda talked about what would make the day a success

• attendees
• no keynote speaker
• no expert
• particpants need to be generous with experience, listening, asking questions
• share!

A show of hands was taken to access which type of library we were from and there were attendees from all library types – Public, Special, Academic, School!

We agreed on a tag for blog posts, photos, video etc LibCampKS08.

Then it was time to decide the sessions. There would be three sessions during the day. People just shouted out what they wanted to talk about then that group was assigned a leader and room. This went so smoothly! Librarians are so civil!

Session One

• Library as place
• Library Instruction
• Customer Service
• Cheap & Free Options
• Outreach & Marketing
• Web 2.0
• Tech Training

Session Two & Lunch

• Web 2.0
• Staff Training/Professional development
• Programming
• Creative Commons
• Making Libraries Greener

Session Three

• Library Catalogs
• Future of Reference Services
• Library as a Place
• Mentoring programs
• Outreach/Library Programs
• Measuring the Success of your social networking
• Gaming

Then we all split up to attend our sessions. At 2:30 we met back in the main room for a review of the day, to exchange our thoughts. I kinda slacked off on my note taking at this point so check out what others have written.Similar Posts:
