New IM Record in Libraries
New IM Record in Libraries
03/14/2005 06:23 PMI've been so short on time lately that I've been trying to avoid
using what little blogging time I do have to simply repost what other
library bloggers are already putting up. This one, however, was just
too good to pass up.
when was the
last time you had this kind of response to a new library
service?
"Brian didn’t give me permission to publish a portion of
his email, but I’m so excited about it I’m going to throw caution
into the wind. He wrote [emphasis mine]:
'Rule number 1: Don’t send out IM reference fliers to
every middle school and jr. high classroom on the same day!
Had to have been at least 100 IMs in the first 2 hours after the
kiddies got home. For a while, I had about 20 IM windows up at once.'
"
Someone recently observed that there are a lot of Eeyo
res in the library community, but I think we can officially
declare IM reference a Martha-Stewart-good-thing for (at least) public
libraries and move it to Pooh status.
Cost of purchasing the AIM software: $0.
Cost of staff time to "man" the AIM service during those two hours:
already paid for.
Satisfaction of having 100 kids respond positively and view the
library in a new light: PRICELESS.

it. Adrienne Crew, their Content Licensing Manager, sent me the
following:
"Thought you'd like to know that Salon's Premium Institutional
Subscription program for libraries is finally up and running....
Currently we are offering a one year subscription in the $300-400
range and feeds all access to the articles on the site via an IP
authentication system or a single password."

England Libraries May All Get Wi-Fi
England Libraries May All Get Wi-Fi
12/04/2003 01:07 PMThe majority of libraries in England already have broadband access but
now the government is working on adding Wi-Fi: Most of the libraries
in King County, outside of Seattle, have Wi-Fi. It's a great, low-cost
way for libraries to offer Internet access without having to provide
computers for everyone. My library always has a line of people waiting
to get on its computers so perhaps with Wi-Fi some people could come
in with their own computers to use the Internet. But I wonder how many
of the people I see waiting in line there actually have laptops that
they could bring with them instead....

Brave New Gamer World
“ ‘We've got an entire group
of people under age 30 who grew up playing video games,’ said
Jim Gee, professor in the UW-Madison School of Education. ‘It's
completely changing the way people think about education and the
workplace.’
This ‘gamer generation’ includes
some 90 million people in the U.S. alone, ages 15 to 35. In fact,
sales of video games have now surpassed sales of TVs, DVDs and
CDs….
A host of new data is suggesting that video games
have created a new generation of employees and executives, bigger than
the baby boomers, who will dramatically transform the
workplace.
Researchers like John C. Beck and Mitchell Wade,
authors of the book ‘Got Game: How the Gamer Generation is
Reshaping Business Forever’ argue that managers who understand
and harness this generation's distinct attributes will leap far ahead
of the competition.
Beck and Wade say these 90 million rising
professionals, through sheer numbers, will inevitably dominate
business and are already changing the rules. Although many of the
changes are positive, such as more open communication and creative
problem solving, they have caused a generation gap that frustrates
gamers and the boomers who manage them….” [The Capital Times, via Library Link of the

Death to 802.11b (Almost)
"PC Magazine rounds up several
802.11g routers, and says they're cheap enough, they're good enough:
802.11b no longer enjoys a large enough (or any) price differential
for quality Wi-Fi gateways that include WPA encryption support, PC Mag
says. So while you can still find 802.11b devices on the market, they
recommend new gear have 802.11g built in...." [Wi-Fi Networking

Lesson: Make sure you buy 802.11g for your

Making
CD-R's Last
"From Doug
Kaye I learned of an interesting
article on how long CD-R's will last and things you can do to
increase or decrease that time. I've always just popped down to
Staples and bought the cheapest disks I could find. For some of my
uses (the latest Suse distro, for example) that's fine. But this
article makes the point that if you're using the disk to archive
important material, you need to be more careful. The article contains
information on how to select good media and media that's appropriate
for the drive that you'll be recording on. This may be especially
important for organizations building large collections of CD-R's that
they need to keep to meet regulatory or other business requirements."
[Windley's Enterprise Computing
Weblog]
Lesson: If your library is using CD-Rs for
backups, archiving, or preservation, pick the right ones!

How NOT to Market WiFi in Libraries

Wireless in Libraries
"Someone on Web4Lib asked about posting symbols or signage to
identify wireless access in libraries. This is a slightly revised
version of my reply on the list, sent after several folks referred the
original poster to the wireless warchalking
symbols popular among the digerati.
Essentially, this is basic library marketing 101. If you're
planning to market wireless services not only to the folks who will
seek it, but to folks who would either find a way to use it if they
knew what it was or may never even use it but will mentally file this
service under 'what a great library this is,' then integrate the fancy
symbols with very plainspoken, large, plain-lettered wording. Go to a
site that offers wireless for its customers and see how they peddle
it. (Remember, that's what you're doing: selling a service.)
Make the language achingly clear. 'Wireless hotspot' comes to
mind... but maybe something else makes more sense locally. Assuming
you have a bookmark or brochure advertising this service, repeat the
logo and the phrase throughout the materials. I know that libraries
offer things for free anyway, but why not push that as well?
Wireless--FREE!...
Or you could practice another kind of library marketing, and either
put up one tiny, very obscure sign, or make it very large and then
title it 'Bibligraphic WEP-enabled 802.11* Access.' And in your
assessment of the service, observe that very few people use it. ;)

Who's Hot Today? Nashville; All U.S.
Libraries
06/24/2005 10:01 PM Nashville, Tenn., has 600 computers in its Metro library system and
waiting lines: Adding Wi-Fi is a natural for their patrons who can
bring their own laptops. The system will cost just under $70,000
across the system through 50-50 federal and local money. The AP
reports on an library study showing 99.6 percent of libraries
connected to the Internet: Almost of those offer Internet access to
their patrons. This number from the American Library Association is up
from 20.9 percent in 1994, when the commercial Internet was
brand-spanking new. (I founded a Web site development firm in 1994,
and had a T-1 to the Net that August--when it was pretty rare.)
Eighteen percent of libraries offer Wi-Fi, but a whopping 21 percent
plan to offer it in the next year. Only 42 percent of libraries have
high-speed connections, and often broadband is coupled with Wi-Fi:
sharing a single dial-up modem over Wi-Fi isn't much of an incentive
over home dial-up to library patrons. Public libraries' biggest
problem is having enough computers to go around....
