Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the first international presentation of SMC. We are honored and pleased to be invited at InternetLibrarian 2012 and tell you something about our product SocialMediaCaster or SMC. My name is Jeroen de Boer and I’m projectleader of SMC. I work at Libraryservice Fryslân, a libraryorganization in the northern part of the Netherlands, as domainspecialist new media. My projectpartner Keimpe de Heer will take the stand after me. First of all I have a question for you: how many of you in the room work at libraries that use RFID for tagging books and other media?
- It’s without a doubt a familiar discussion: is the physical library still relevant in the digital age? Without looking too much into the future we’re confident libraries won’t cease to exist, but we have to come up with answers in to how to deal with the possibilities of the ever expanding internet. To look at it as a threat to public libraries is one way, but with SMC we see the web’s content as a great opportunity to enrich the content and services of public libraries.
- The concept of SMC was conceived by accident. Keimpe and I met while I was working on a project concerning gaming in the library. However, a few minutes into our meeting the universal use of RFID in public libraries actually became the main topic. The present developers at the table started salivating by the idea libraries could make use of an entirely ready and present electronic network with unlimited possibilities. And for Keimpe, who already had the idea in trying to connect real life objects with the web, it suddenly theoratically became a possibility to make this happen in the library. He will tell you more later about a concept we’re working on right now, the Library of Things.
- So, after we got my management happy and convinced with the idea we started this project. And our main aim became connecting library objects with the boundless contentresources of the internet.
- SMC makes it possible to enhance physical library objects. They’re not only the thing as it is, a book, a cd or dvd, but they are connected to thoughts people express about them on social networks. Furthermore they relate to content on networks like Youtube, Google, Librarything or Last.fm. This makes it very easy to find corresponding video’s or reviews of the item. The result is presented in a very attractive manner and SMC is very easy to use. Just by scanning the library object the results will literally come flying in.
- So, how does it work? 1. An item is scanned, either by barcode or RFID 2. The item will be recognized as a library object by the combination of an ObjectIdentifier and the RFID/barcode and 3. will gather as much metadata as possible from the library catalogue. After being recognized the returning results from the catalogue 4. become an internet query and the 5. The results are presented on a touchscreen interface 6. and can be shared again on preferred social networks.
- After you have found something nice or relevant it is possible to share it again with friends or family. At the moment we have integrated Facebook, Twitter and email to make sharing possible. Online sources are available through connected software-adapters. This means that a participating library can choose to include selected sources. So, for instance a music library can opt for Youtube and Last.fm, while a regular book-library will likely include Librarything. For cover images we use Google Image Search. Other options are realized by request. All we need is an decent API. So, what does SMC look like? I’ll show you a short clip of SMC in action in the music department Leeuwarden public library. This was also the place where we did our very first pilot.

- During a pilotproject we conducted in this year’s spring we also connected the librarycatalog to a catalog of neighbouring school-library. A student working on a certain project can for instance scan a book from the school library, because he/she is interested in finding more information about the chosen topic. At first SMC will work as usual, so will recogize the item and find related content in the catalogue plus relevant online content. But furthermore it can find additional related items in the library nearby. For more information about this follow up project my collegue Keimpe will eloborate right now. He will also share some future visions and developements on SMC with you.
- To unleash the full potential of SocialMediacaster we decided to connect it’s functionality to the behaviour of young people on the internet and more specific their behaviour on social media platforms. Taking a closer look at learners in the age group of 12 to 18 years old we noticed their behavior could be catagorized as Joiners and Spectators as you can also see on this slide. They are heavy users of social networking sites and are actively consuming user generated content.
- Looking at education it also struck us that informal and personal media usage by learners during school hours is banned out. To further maximize impact of SocialMediaCaster we decided to connect to the schools curriculum, the education program and also taking assessment criteria into account within the education domain of Media Literacy. This gets the teachers on board and results in a meaningful application which enriches education practice by supporting learners with home work assignment and school project work. The decision to connect with the internet behaviour of our target group and also connect with school practice led our developments to SocialMediaCaster Connector.
- SMC connector connects the repository or catalog of a school library with catalog systems of neighbouring libraries in the area outside of the school building. The system identifies objects using Barcode, QR code or RFID scanning technology. Furthermore SMC connector displays social media contents as it does in the first version. This results in three categories of contents as shown on this slide. Related in-school library items, Related items in neighbouring Library repositories and related social media contents. To further support educational usage we developed, together with education experts, curriculum contents around SMC Connector as wel as teacher manuals, example lessons and assignments.
- We first launched SMC Connector in a pilot project at the CSG Comenius, a secondary school in the Netherlands. The results of the pilot were very promising. The students were really enthusiastic and loved the fact they could use their own social networking channels for sharing and distributing contents which they found with SMC. Furtermore they used SMC to find and collect contents for home work assigments. Teachers also saw the benifits and our main contact person mrs. de Jager, the school librarian said, she saw a huge added value in SMC especially with students who are broadly exploring new fields of interest or gathering sources around a subject or theme for project work.
- These results really gave us a thumbs up and inspired further development of the software. And this leads us to the current state of affairs where we are developing a second version of the original SMC software.
- In the second version we added more data source adapters in it’s core configuration. Because we developed a flexible architecture, data source adapters can be turned on and off depending on the choises of our customers.
- The second version also delivers two major changes. First is the development of a new data source adapter which makes it possible to connect SMC to the National Library Infrastructure enabling searches through all the catalogs in all libraries in the Netherlands. This data source adapter is called the NBC API connector. The second is the development of ExplorApp, a mobile version of SMC. Explorapp also makes use of the connection with the national library infrastructure.
- Our development partner in the Netherlands, bibliotheek.nl is working on this nation standardized Library Catalog. On this slide you see a quick overview of it’s structure. It consists of a top layar search interface called OZP or the Open Search Platform. This is a webbased search interface displaying information about catalog items of all the connected libraries via a harvesting service called GGC. The GGC is a Shared Automized Catalog system which harvest catalog data from local library databases. Besides catalog data the OZP also shows results from automatic search queries on different data sources such as wikipedia, youtube, open libraries.org, etc. The SocialMediaCaster software is able to connect to the GGC by the API which is currently being developed. This enables SocialMediaCaster to display related items in different library catalogs and also share information about the availability of these items in local libraries situated in a geographical area near your specific location. We are also bundeling all these options together in a mobile application called ExplorApp. This mobile version of SocialMediacaster builds upon the concept of The Internet of Things and envisions a Platform for the Library of Things connecting the digital and the real.
- The Library of Things leverages the power of mobile technology, social media and location based services. We just launched www.thelibraryofthings.com and on this website we want to collect your thoughts on the concept of the Library of Things and more specific how it could work for your library.
- ExplorApp is a Library of Things concept application which is meant for indoor library use as well as outdoor use. For indoor use we see this mobile version of SMC primarily being used for research purposes such as literature studies. Explorapp can also be used outside the library for scanning items in for instance a commercial bookstore. With ExploreApp you can check availability of the item in a local library catalog near your location. This could really stimulate library visits because here you are offered the choice to buy the book at the bookstore or walk a couple of meters and simply borrow the book at your local library. Within the context of the Library of Things we further envision a dynamic database and ExplorApp like applications through which real world items are being scanned, digitally stored, tagged and referrenced with existing library catalog items. We would like to further explore the posibilities of this concept with you.
