RT @benshowers: How important will analytics be to libraries, now and in the future? Community Survey Results: http://t.co/nEHFpnUIUM #jiscLAMP\ Library Analytics – Community Survey Results (Nov 2012) from joypalmer Survey on SlideShare here: http://www.slideshare.net/joypalmer/survey-library-analyticsfindings We wanted to get a better handle on how important analytics will be to academic libraries now and in the future, and what demand might be for a service in this area, for example, a shared service that centrally ingests and processes raw usage data and data visualisations back to local institutions (and this, of course, is what LAMP is exploring further in more practical detail). We had response from 66 UK HE institutions, and asked a good number of questions. For example, we asked whether the following functions might be potentially useful:Automated provision of analytics demonstrating the relationship between student attainment and resource/library usage within institutionsAutomated provision of analytics demonstrating e-resource and collections (e.g. monographs) usage according to demographics (e.g. discipline, year, age, nationality, grade)Resource recommendation functions for discovery services
Lorcan Dempsey, OCLC's Vice President, Research and Chief Strategist, presented these slides in his keynote on 23 January 2013 at the 21st annual BOBCATSSS Conference in Ankara, Turkey. In his presentation, Lorcan compared the traditional "outside-in" library model and the new "inside-out" model, evolving as the library positions itself in a changing network environment. The traditional library was built on an "outside-in" model: information materials were brought to the institution and made available for use. This was appropriate in an age of information scarcity and high transaction costs. The only way effectively to interact with a large body of knowledge was to have it assembled close to the reader.

Slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/lisld/the-inside-out-library "Once the library assembled a collection and people came to the library to use it. Now, people build communication, workflows and behaviors around a variety of network resources. The library needs to think about how it is visible and relevant in those workflows and behaviors."
"The changing world of libraries: Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will discuss the Project’s latest research about how people use technology and how people use libraries. He will discuss the implications of this work for libraries."

"Slides of my talk at DataWeek 2012 - We engineers love data and algorithms. They help create amazing things. But if and when we forget that people create data and that data can be improved by people, we will miss the promise of Big Data. It's time we all thought of this not as social vs algorithm but as humanrithm."

Ned Porter: New librarians: this is your time: http://www.slideshare.net/thewikiman/new-librarians-this-is-your-time "The first thing I did was based largely on The Time For Libraries is NOW, and the third thing I did was in two separate Prezis which would be a bit complicated to reproduce here, so I’m embedding the middle one. It was delivered to information science students at the University of Latvia, and is basically about how great our profession is… (For Slideshare file-size limit reasons, I’ve actually had to take out about 20 slides and get rid of loads of the pictures, but you’ll get the general idea. Feel free to embed this wherever you see fit!)" See also: Library adventures in Latvia (Plus, what we can learn from their approach!) http://thewikiman.org/blog/?p=1879

by DIANE VAUTIER: "U.S. libraries of all types continue to make increasing use of social media and Web 2.0 applications and tools to connect with library users and to market programs and services according to the American Library Association. "But change still continues to be a major factor when it comes to adding social media and web 2.0 to the library mix. Shift happens and will continue to drive change, specifically when it comes to content creation and content curation. Librarians would do well to follow the same steps as does small business when it comes to content creation using social media: Find your audience Set your goals Start with the basics and optimize those accounts Build a team Create a Content Map Link accounts – Connect, connect ,connect – your social network. Content curation is where libraries and librarians have a natural advantage because it’s already what they do everyday. Librarians have content curation super powers. Now that content curation has moved from an in-person resource to an online resource however, librarians are in a unique position to help patrons manage the online information overload, and they can use social media tools to do it. Social media can help libraries become more highly visible and useful to the communities they serve. If you’d like additional information on this presentation, you can find the slide deck on SlideShare and the full video on Vimeo." http://www.slideshare.net/dvautier/libraries-and-social-media http://vimeo.com/42157533
