    Notes on slide 1

    Session Title: What's all the Buzz about Social Networking Applications? Description: Online social networking services have been around for some time now, with MySpace, Bebo, FaceBook leading the pack, how does this impact the way we currently do our work and support our clientele. How do we bridge "online" time with face time with our users? Biography: Karen Huffman is a strong believer in the need to "experience" life and walk in the shoes of others to internalize knowledge. She recently transferred to National Geographic's Information Systems & Technology (IS&T) division as senior applications and database administration. She previously worked in the Libraries as information architect, application developer, and Web 2.0 integrator for the National Geographic's Corporate Intranet which was selected as one of the top 10 intranets by Nielsen Norman Group for 2007. Karen has worked nearly 23 years at National Geographic, 10 of which have been in the Libraries and now less than a month in IS&T. She also started a business several year's ago called CyberSailors.com where she applies her skills developing solutions for organizations. Karen received an MLS from the University of Maryland and a B.A. in Behavioral Social Sciences/Management from Maryland's University College.

    4. 2007 OCLC Report on Social Networking “ To continue to be vital to society , libraries must adopt new objectives. In particular, they must strive to participate with individuals in their cultural activities ; passive, depersonalized service is no longer enough.” Frederick Kilgour, “Evolving, Computerizing, Personalizing,” in American Libraries, February 1972
    5. “ As librarians, our task has always been and remains to use the tools of information technology to serve the needs of information workers or seekers, bearing in mind that all recorded information and its support infrastructure — books and shelves no less than online search engines — is information technology.” (May 2003)

    13. Features of the Groundswell
      • Micro interactions: Fluidity of communication
      • User driven: Living it! Defining it!
      • Making connections, building relationships
      • Portability across applications
      • Profile 2.0: Just-for-me resources
    14. Shifting Paradigms: Micro Interactions “ We live in a world where the little things really do matter. Each encounter no matter how brief is a micro interaction which makes a deposit or withdrawal from our rational and emotional subconscious. The sum of these interactions and encounters adds up to how we feel about a particular product, brand or service. Little things. Feelings. They influence our everyday behaviors more than we realize.” ~ David Armano
