Nicola Osborne (EDINA) – Social media and repositories

A presentation for the CATS 2010 Conference (http://cats.cdl.edu/online_2010/) How do we deal with the never ending onslaught of new technologies, resources, and media? How can we face this brave new world without a sense of dread? Is there an app for that? "Keeping up" is a myth, and the way of dealing with this is creating, sustaining, and being in your extended networks of friends, colleagues, and even people you don't know. Likewise, one cannot readily assess the value of new technology from the outside "looking in." This presentation will lead you through a range of examples of ways to practice more "being there-ness" so you can face the technology fire hose with a child-like sense of wonder. http://cogdogblog.com/stuff/beingthere

Dubious analogy… Fliers by Simon Scott: http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonscott/1261982638/ Repositories are like the Fringe… Obligatory strained analogy...

There’s too much stuff to see and includes niche content…

Neither searching nor browsing helps unless you know what you want… MAGNIFYING GLASS by andercismo/Rafael Anderson Gonzales Mendoza : http://www.flickr.com/photos/andercismo/2349098787/

Scholarly material tends to be discovered in much the same way… but we can help that discovery process along with social media Spin / 2 – 50 Reading Lists by Cooky Yoon/ji young YOON: http://www.flickr.com/photos/designrecipe/4637669165/

Can we build an audience around our repos – how do we engage them? If we include social media buttons they will come? Perhaps but we can do more to help… NSHS Baseball Field Aerials 4-17-2011 by Caleb’s Photography/Caleb Howell: http://www.flickr.com/photos/calebsphotography/5634707485/

Sharing needs to be prominent, visible and… commenting/discussion and ratings also work well.

FERRERO ROCHER by SimonQ 錫濛譙  /SimonQ: http://www.flickr.com/photos/qiaomeng/5169326604/ Authors and Repository staff need to be the first to share… to act as ambassadors for great content about great research

And where do repository users fit in? Are we thinking about them? Most social media sites are user focused, in perpetual beta, user tested. Brown Communications Billboard - The Power Plug by Eric Eggertson: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mutually-inclusive/106197176/

Fenway Park by Werner Kunz: http://www.flickr.com/photos/werkunz/3599784525/ We do need to identify our audience/s to set goals…. Who are they? What do they need? Which do they hang out online?

We need to be part of discussion around deposited items…

Comments, case studies, community interest all feed in here… Dr Peter Matthew’s Blog: http://drpetermatthews.blogspot.com/2011/07/hexperiment.html

ALT Metrics/Beyond Metrics – Impact includes social media stories Combining citation, repository & social mentions offers huge potential and offers opportunity for social media engaged researchers to shine…

But there are always new opportunities/threats… Great blog post on this: http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2011/07/28/a-first-look-at-google-scholar-citations/ social sites can feel more persistent than institutional profiles…

We could combine profiles, data & the social graph… We could even be suggesting future collaborators or projects…

Email props up Social – do we need to use it more? Social media tools & data has huge potential for repositories… If it seems scary the EDINA Social Media Guidelines may help. E = m c² [Explored] by Sprengben / Spreng Ben: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sprengben/4550315185/

When I recently reached out to my network and asked "What is the #1 challenge you are facing when it comes to growing sales for your business ?" 75% of those I asked mentioned sales prospecting or lead generation. The problem isn't that people don't know what do to; it's that what they've always done no longer works. The simple truth is: if you're doing what everybody else is doing, you'll get the same results they do. Which - in a world where prospects are increasingly turning off their phone and turning *on* their spam filters - isn't much. So if you want to stand out (and get more meetings), here are five sales prospecting techniques you probably never tried (but should).

The Forces That Flattened The World

A visualization of Bruce Sterling’s Closing Key note Dark Euphoria- the cultural temperament of the coming decade: Gothic High-Tech and Favela Chic “It is neither progress nor conservatism because there's nothing left to conserve and no direction in which to progress. So what you get is transition. Transition to nowhere.'" http://video.reboot.dk/video/486788/bruce-sterling-reboot-11 He defines four quadrants for the coming decade and neatly discards this half as being irrelevant for the audience (which equates to the majority of the world's population): the financial crisis of the Boomer generation, the BRICs, the emerging economies and the 'fundies' of all persuasions

This proposed presentation was prepared for delivery at the New Media Consortium Future of Education summit held near Austin, TX January 22-24, 2013. It's based on work I've done with my colleagues Maurice Coleman, Buffy Hamilton, and Jill Hurst-Wahl, and is part of our continuing efforts to support the development of social learning centers onsite and online for libraries and other learning organizations.

Experience of Play

In visual arts and graphic design, white space is fundamental to allowing a creation to exist, by creating delineation and focus. Similarly, in our lives, creativity often sprouts from the "white space" of time: the moments in our increasingly busy schedules between activities and thoughts that allow the subconscious to better absorb and connect information. Clearly, in order to be more creative, we need to open up this "in-between" space in our lives, but once we've done so, how can we best capitalize upon the brain's natural creative capacities? In this talk, we'll explore several counter-intuitive and potentially subversive methods for leveraging this "white space" to foment innovative thinking creative productivity.
