Access Services 2.0: Tools for a new era
The document summarizes Andrew Shuping's presentation about exploring new tools for access services at the Jack Tarver Library. It discusses how some early attempts at using tools like wikis and blogs failed but could succeed now. It recommends finding tools that meet users' needs and skills, being willing to try things again, and taking chances with exploration. The presentation encouraged librarians to play around with new tools like Google Calendar, Documents, LibraryThing, and social networks.

Editor's Notes
- #2 my presentation is going to be a couple of different things. i'll discuss what we tried, what filed, and why. but at the same time i'm going to give you pointers on things to try out. what you should be on hte look out for
- #3 and yes, i will talk about what failed. i'll let you know why it failed for us and what i learned from it so that it might work for you
- #4 well why not? what stops us from trying new things? i know we don't fix things unless they are broken, but why not look at how to improve things
- #5 explore what's out there. what's new, perhaps it simplifies the process, offers more, makes it easier to do, it improves efficiency
- #6 some new for the sake of being new explore what's out there. what's new, perhaps it simplifies the process, offers more, makes it easier to do, it improves efficiency
- #7 explore what's out there. what's new, perhaps it simplifies the process, offers more, makes it easier to do, it improves efficiency
- #8 explore what's out there. what's new, perhaps it simplifies the process, offers more, makes it easier to do, it improves efficiency
- #9 more importantly it could help improve collaboration. with staff working different shifts, sometimes not seeing each other for days at a time what could they do to share their views in different ways.
- #10 tried free tools Why? Because they were free. it meant i didn't need to go through the long drawn out process of getting money, i could experiment and play without worrying
- #11 I came in with new ideas, things to try to help improve some of the things listed above
- #16 and guess what
- #17 they all failed
- #18 i came in thinking, wanting to make things easier and fixing problems that i saw that they didn't see. i should have talked more. presented, displayed, changed the culture it also didn't meet what the users wanted. blog/map wanted to show more it also failed because
