By Jo Alcock:

"Of the many emerging mobile technologies that libraries are looking at one that has always appealed to me is augmented reality (AR). Compared to other technologies that are discussed AR has:

- fewer introductory barriers to overcome;
- is virtually cost-free;
- does not require specialised technical staff;
- the general public will increasingly have some familiarity with it;
- can also be a lot of fun."

Keywords: Positioning "Urban Librarianship" To Get Found | The Information Professional | Scoop.it
Graphing phrases using social networking tools helps understand the impact of keyword phrases. This analysis focuses on Urban Librarianship.

 

Posted by Bradley Woodruff 

"Because Urban Librarianship is a newer trend in the field of library and information science, a potential keyword phrase that may work and produce “hits” could be the keyword phrase “library trends”. This keyword phrase is relevant to the “Urban Librarianship” video, is a term users and prospective students may come up with on their own, and is being used by other videos on the YouTube network, but is not so overused that SLIS will be lost."
