This document provides tips for blog and website authors, including linking strategies, page structure recommendations, and insights into search engine optimization. Some key points include:
- Links from various sources like blogs, websites, directories, and social media can help with search engine rankings, but link farms and unnatural or bought links should be avoided.
- Most highly ranked pages are older than one year, so consistent posting over time is important for search visibility.
- Page structure best practices include using keywords in the URL, title, and headings; including unique, quality content; and optimizing images.
- The majority of webpages do not show up in search results, often due to a lack of referring domains
This document provides an extensive list of online tools and resources that can be used to build a professional learning network (PLN). It discusses the functions and stages of adopting a PLN. It then lists various social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video platforms, collaboration tools, and online conferencing options for connecting with other educators and sharing knowledge. The resources highlighted can help users engage with peers, find professional development opportunities, and strengthen their PLN.
The Things They Carried: The Technologies (and Resulting Expectations) That O...Ahniwa Ferrari
“You can't tell where you are, or why you're there, and the only certainty is absolute ambiguity.” –Tim O’Brien
Do you ever feel like this in your library? Are you overwhelmed by the flood of new technologies that seem to pop up faster than you can keep up with them? Do you feel like your role is ambiguous when it comes to helping your users find and master the technologies that could actually be of use to them?
Believe it or not, technology doesn’t have to be a battlefield.
This session will focus on the technologies that your users bring in to your libraries, and how those technologies can be used as launch pads into the library services that you are already providing. We’ll talk about smart phones, especially iPhone and Android devices, e-readers such as the Kindle and Nook, and various types of mp3 players and other gadgets. We’ll also cover some of the expectations that these devices create, and learn ways that library staff can meet them. We’ll also talk about some trending technologies, e.g. location-based tools, QR codes, etc, and discuss how libraries can utilize them to serve their patrons.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.
PEPSICO Presentation to CAGNY Conference Feb 2024Neil Kimberley

It operates through a divisional structure with a focus on local consumers.
Content Methodology: A Best Practices Report (Webinar)contently
This document provides an overview of content methodology best practices. It defines content methodology as establishing objectives, KPIs, and a culture of continuous learning and iteration. An effective methodology focuses on connecting with audiences, creating optimal content, and optimizing processes. It also discusses why a methodology is needed due to the competitive landscape, proliferation of channels, and opportunities for improvement. Components of an effective methodology include defining objectives and KPIs, audience analysis, identifying opportunities, and evaluating resources. The document concludes with recommendations around creating a content plan, testing and optimizing content over 90 days.
How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Editor's Notes
Hi, my name is Ahniwa Ferrari, and I’m a hypocrite.I coordinate Ask-WA, the statewide virtual reference cooperative in Washington State. We use QuestionPoint, which I love, but which is, of course, NOT free.All the same, I’m very interested in free reference tools, and so I’ve cobbled some together into something that resembles a library “ask” site, and that’s what I’ll be talking about today.
There are a lot of options when it comes to reference tools. Some are top-tier paid solutions, some live on social networks, and some may not really be “reference tools” at all but can be adapted to that purpose. When considering which tools are right for you, there are a few questions to consider.
It’s all a matter of balance:First off, do you want a local service, which may be more flexible but which will be limited to the hours your library is open, or;do you want a cooperative service, which may help you expand your hours, but which often has other requirements and may not be free.Second, is it important that all your reference workflows integrate into a single interface for your staff, or is it okay if they work in multiple interfaces?Finally, do you really want something that is completely free, or are there some things that you are willing to pay for?
Here is my proof of concept website, Ask Horatio, which you can view online at askhoratio.weebly.com.For phone and SMS reference I’ve used Google Voice.For chat reference I’m using Google Talk with their chatback widget.For email reference I have an embedded PHP form that links to a gmail account.And finally, for a virtual study room, I have a free Vroom powered by Elluminate.Everything on this page is 100% completely free.
I added a social tab because that’s just how I roll. Whether or not you thin that social networks are a valid reference tool, the fact is that they are free, and worth taking a look at.For my money, virtual reference is all about creating access points, as many as possible, and giving our users the choice and which ones they want to use to get in touch with us.
As someone on the Gen-X / Millenial cusp, I admit that I love feedback, and I really don’t want to have to wait for it.So I put this free shoutbox widget on the site. Letting our users tell us what they think is a great way to know if we’re on (or off) track – and if they never tell us anything … well that tells us something too.
For the sake of comparison, I’ve included links to our statewide service in Washington: Ask-WA.As I mentioned, it’s a “premium” service, powered by QuestionPoint, and not free, but I wanted it here as a counterpoint.Please don’t spam it all at once, but do feel free to take a look at it later in your spare time.
So back to our ASK tools.All of these are Google tools. You can find tools elsewhere that have similar functions, but the nice thing about using all Google is that everything integrates really well into a single interface.By using Google, we can drive our SMS, voicemail, email, and chat all into a single interface.Gmail.
Here in the Gmail interface we can see a voice transcript, an SMS, a few emails … we have a chat going down in the bottom right.Some extras, here, we have the ability to tag and categorize our questions along the left sidebar, and we can send SMS and begin chats from there as well, very easily.It’s nice to integrate everything into Gmail …
… but there are reasons to handle questions in their native interface as well.We can use Google Voice to handle SMS and phone reference. By doing so, we can see the voice transcript and SMS right there in the main Google Voice screen, without having to click anywhere, and we can answer with a call or SMS ourselves within a single click, allowing us to read and answer questions very quickly.
We’ve seen that we can push voice out to Gmail, but there’s other places we can send it as well.It’s very easy to push voice to a reference desk phone, or to a mobile phone … or to both at the same time. You could assign a single mobile phone to be used at the reference desk, or push voice to the individual staff’s mobile phone, only during their shift.
By pushing voice (and Gmail) to a mobile device, staff are more easily able to get away from the desk and go out among their users. Roving reference is a hot topic in libraries right now, and Google Voice is a great tool for letting reference staff be reachable in a number of mediums while they go out and provide point-of-need reference service.
Chat can be pushed out as well. We saw that we can chat in Gmail, and Google has its own Google Talk tool that we can download and use as well.Or, if we want, we can use other desktop tools that push chat to us on our desktops, and generally provide a number of additional features as well.Pictured here we have Pidgin at left, one of the most popular tools on any platform; to the right we have Psi, and to the right of that, the logo for Adium, which is a Mac solution.
Virtual study rooms are on the rise, and you’ll hear more and more people talk about them. What you might not hear is that you (and everyone else) can have your very own, fully functional, virtual study room powered by Elluminate.All you have to do is go to learncentral.org and sign up. The only limitation is that the room will only hold up to three people, but that’s a perfectly adequate number for a one-on-one reference instruction session, or even for a small study group.
Elluminate is a very powerful tool, with it you can:Whiteboard, share web pages, share applications, use voice and chat, upload and share audio and video files (among others), use webcams, and a lot more. For those who miss co-browse, this is a great solution, and it really is free.
If you’re like me, you probably have a love / hate relationship with Facebook. That’s okay, but the fact is, too many of our users are on Facebook for us to ignore it as an opportunity to connect. Creating a Facebook account is easy, anyway, and it IS free …… using your Facebook account appropriately, on the other hand, is another thing entirely.But that’s something to figure out another day.
Not quite as many people are on Twitter as Facebook, but there’s still a good audience here, and it’s worth looking in to.One of the best things about Twitter is that it goes mobile very well, even on “dumb” phones, so it can be a great tool for connecting with your mobile users who haven’t joined in the iPhone / Android craze.In terms of reference service, it’s somewhat limited to more factual questions, due to the low character limit in messages.
As a counterpoint, I wanted to include this. This is a list of the libraries participating in the Ask-WA cooperative, which is the virtual reference cooperative in Washington.Over 60 libraries cooperate in the state, and that’s to say nothing of the hundreds of other libraries participating across the country and around the world. Every one of these libraries is better off for being able to cooperate with each other and share their expertise.It’s not free, but there are absolutely things to be gained sometimes by moving beyond your local service.
To wrap up:Free is good. Yes, but remember, nothing is free! Everything requires staff time, and training, and other invisible costs. Integrating services makes life easier for your staff, but there can be benefits to using a tool’s native interface, or in using add-on tools to manage workflows.If you thought you couldn’t do any of these things, you really can. It doesn’t take much, so go out there and do it – something, anything.Without cooperative, your service will always be limited to the hours that you’re open. This is the trade-off, and may be the right way to go for your library.
Presentations are all well and good, sure, but really to get into this stuff you need to go play around with the site. I’ve included the URL here, and I’ve also included the account information to get in and play around on the back end. Please feel free to use this information, I just ask that you don’t change the password. Think about how this might work in your library.And of course, feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions.Thank you.
