Social media for researchers - maximizing your personal impactAlan Cann
This document provides an overview of how researchers can use social media to maximize their personal impact. It discusses how social media can enhance the academic research cycle by enabling more effective collaboration, opportunities to forge new connections, receiving feedback, and more rapidly disseminating work. While social media presents some criticisms like privacy issues and a loss of authority, the document encourages researchers to participate and build good networks as a way to make an impact beyond traditional citations.
The document discusses the changing nature of scholarly communication and how researchers are publishing and disseminating their work. It notes that factors like increased research funding, technological advances, and policy changes are influencing researcher behaviors and practices. Researchers are now using more electronic and open access publishing as well as social media and web 2.0 tools to disseminate their work. The document recommends that libraries support these changes by maintaining access to electronic content, providing training and guidance on communication channels and tools, and helping set standards for curation and preservation of scholarly outputs.
OBJECTIVES: Translational research focuses on the bench-to-bedside information transfer process — getting the information from researchers into the hands of clinical decision makers. At the same time, researchers who manage international research collaborations could benefit from increased knowledge and awareness of online collaboration tools to support these projects. Our goal was to support both needs through building awareness and skills with online and social media.
METHODS: The Library developed a curricula targeted specifically to academic researchers focusing on collaboration technologies and online tools to support the research process. The curricula will provide instruction at three levels: gateway, bridge, and mastery tools. The goal of Level One is to persuade researchers of the utility of online social tools. To develop the program, input was solicited from researchers identified as leaders in this area as well as focus groups of students to discover which tools are already being used.
RESULTS: Training is being provided on those tools identified as most likely to engage researchers (Google Docs, Skype, online scheduling, Adobe Connect, citation sharing tools). The curricula is being delivered as workshops duplicated as podcasts and in other online media.
CONCLUSIONS: Online and social media are practical tools for supporting distance collaborations relatively inexpensively while offering the added benefit of placing selected information in online spaces that facilitate discovery and discussion with clinical care providers, thus supporting the fundamental research processes at the same time as promoting bench-to-bedside information transfer.

This document discusses the role of social media in national library services. It defines social media and outlines how improvements in technology, the rise of new devices, and changes in human behavior have led to the growth of social media. The document then categorizes different types of social media and provides data on internet and technology penetration in the US. It offers suggestions on how libraries can begin using social media and lists benefits such as communicating with users, marketing services, understanding user needs better, and providing services in a more economical way.

This document discusses the challenges of research communication and visibility in today's information-overloaded world. It proposes that researchers should play a more active role in promoting their own work through tools that help explain and share their research. The document introduces KUDOS, a web-based service that aims to put researchers in control of increasing the impact of their published articles. KUDOS would provide tools for researchers to add plain English descriptions and link their articles to related materials to improve discoverability. It would also help researchers share their articles through their networks and measure the effects on article usage and citations. KUDOS dashboards would give researchers and institutions visibility into these outreach activities.

OpenSocial in Practice - presented at VIVO14Brian Turner
This document discusses how OpenSocial can benefit clinical and translational science institutions like UCSF. OpenSocial allows for easy customization of profiles through embedded gadgets without altering core code. It provides benefits to institutions, researchers, and users. For institutions, it facilitates displaying institution-specific information and engaging content from sites like YouTube and Twitter. Researchers gain a more complete portfolio and younger researchers can showcase non-publication achievements. For users, customization makes profiles more visually appealing and provides a more holistic view of researchers through additional content and connection options.
Customized collaborative knowledge centerFowler Susan
1. A medical librarian created a customized knowledge center using Google tools like iGoogle, calendars, bookmarks, and search boxes to facilitate online collaboration for a nurse practitioner staff development committee that previously collaborated in person.
2. The objectives were to provide centralized access to commonly used resources, enable online collaboration for projects, and create an inexpensive and easy to use tool.
3. While the participants used the survey tool after launch, usage disappeared after the librarian left the institution, showing the need for active librarian participation to maximize the interface's benefits.
The document discusses value-added services and Library 2.0 in academic libraries. It argues that libraries must embrace new technologies like wikis, blogs, social media, tagging and mashups to remain relevant to users. Libraries need to shift to a more user-centered model, inviting participation and collaboration. This will allow libraries to better serve users and reach new audiences.
This document discusses the effectiveness of blogs and social networks as tools for academic libraries, using the Kendriya Vidyalaya Pattom library as a case study. It finds that blogs and social networks allow libraries to reach users in their online spaces and disseminate information on resources and services. The library maintains four blogs to promote its resources, services, and programs. Analysis of the blog content and user surveys found that the blogs and social networks were effective user-centric service tools.
The document discusses the goals and challenges of the ESSENCE project, which aims to develop online tools to facilitate structured analysis and dialogue around global issues like climate change. It notes that while argument mapping tools exist, they can be difficult for most users and lack incentives for both creation and use of arguments. The document advocates taking a socio-technical systems approach to develop tool systems tailored to specific collaborative communities, by understanding user goals, roles, and collaboration patterns in their unique context of use.

This document discusses digital inclusion efforts in Wales led by the Welsh government. Through the Digital Wales initiative and €22 million in ERDF and Welsh government funding, the Communities 2.0 program worked from 2009-2015 to increase digital inclusion through practical partnerships. The program directly provided digital access and skills training as well as funding others to do so, with examples given like Pwerdy Powerhouse publishing books and the Connect Team assisting people at work in Asda. The document promotes digital inclusion resources on the Communities 2.0 and Digital Wales websites.
The document is a student's final project for an English class consisting of 8 units covering various topics such as travel, dreams, food, celebrations, and technology. Each unit has between 1-3 pages of content. The project was completed by student Evileinny Baez for teacher Doris Molero.
Social media surgeries provide consulting services to help monitor civic conversations on social media and assess their impact. These services include internal evaluations of social media strategies, building consultancy networks, and developing impact assessment tools. The goal is to help "militant optimists" who are highly motivated but lack clear roadmaps, and prefer defining their own models rather than following strict strategies.
This document contains information about Dr. Kimberly Christen who works in the Department of Critical Culture, Gender and Race Studies at Washington State University. Her website is listed as well as her focus on digital repatriation and community protocols for indigenous communities.
The document outlines the agenda for a class on January 21st that will discuss the history of information, new technologies, the information superhighway, information in the present day wrapped in digital lives, and the work of Jenkins on convergence and participatory culture. It divides the class into groups to discuss what key concepts mean, why they matter, and how they differ from the past, using examples.

This document outlines a time management workshop conducted by D Krishnam Raju. It begins by noting the importance of time management, as both winners and losers have the same 24 hours in a day. It then describes an interactive game where students are split into police and pirate groups, with the police hiding treasures and the pirates trying to find them within a 15 minute time limit, to analyze time allocation and management. Key lessons discussed are that time management is about competing with the clock, having an adaptable action plan for when priorities change, and properly allocating work among team members.

Social Media, Libraries, and Web 2.0: How American Libraries are Using New To...Curtis Rogers, MLIS, EdD
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 768 library staff on their use of social media and Web 2.0 tools. The survey found that over 90% of respondents think Web 2.0 is important for marketing libraries. The most commonly used tools were social networks and blogs. Respondents viewed social networks as the most effective tool. Comments indicated that while tools are important, libraries face challenges implementing them due to limited budgets, staffing and technology barriers.

Preparing for Technological Changes within Academic LIbrariesRachel Vacek
A presentation given to the Oklahoma State University Library for their Library Futures Series. The presentation is about finding ideas for technology innovation, streamlining web content for reuse, preparing for mobile, and preparing for interacting with users in new ways.
Web 2.0 allows for greater interactivity, collaboration, and sharing between users on the internet compared to earlier versions. It includes user-generated content, social media, and other platforms where users can interact. Social bookmarking tools like Delicious allow users to save, organize, and share bookmarks online for accessibility from anywhere. This enables collaboration, sharing of resources, and keeping track of new information.
The document discusses how technology will impact the future of libraries and librarianship. It notes that physical library spaces will become more flexible as collections shrink and move online, allowing for new technologies and community spaces. Technologies will change how information is accessed and processed, requiring librarians to take on new roles in digital organization and navigation. The future of libraries will involve greater collaboration between institutions and harnessing technological advances while maintaining flexibility.
This presentation was provided by Rachel Vacek of the University of Michigan during the NISO webinar, Library as Publisher, Part Two, held on March 14, 2018.
Challenges and Opportunities in Customizing Library Repository User InterfacesRachel Vacek
This presentation will dive into the ongoing challenges that academic libraries often face when improving the user experiences of out-of-the-box and open source repositories. Fueling the challenges are the ambiguity and fast-changing nature within the field of digital scholarship and the constant flux of technology platforms and tools. Fortunately, many libraries are paying more attention to users’ motivations and responding by designing user interfaces that support particular formats and contexts. We’ll explore emerging opportunities with repositories in looking at how far libraries should go in providing customizations to balance stakeholder and user needs, and how to plan for users’ ever-shifting expectations.
This presentation was part of a NISO and NASIG webinar, "Library As Publisher, Part Two: UX and UI for the Library's Digital Collections" and was presented on March 14, 2018.
What does success look like when it comes to library discoverability? Index based discovery systems have seen a dramatic rate of adoption since introduction to the research ecosystem in 2009, with more than 9,000 libraries relying on a discovery system to provide users with a comprehensive index to their offerings. Some issues bar the way to providing this comprehensive view, but many challenges have been overcome through collaboration between libraries, content providers and discovery partners. The NISO ODI initiative began to examine these issues in 2011, and released a best practice in June 2014.
Speakers will highlight examples of successful collaboration, note continued areas of challenge, and provide insight on how the Open Discovery Initiative Conformance Checklists can be used as a mechanism to evaluate content provider or discovery provider conformance with the best practice.

Virtual Research Networks: towards Research 2.0
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks – with its extensive collaborative possibilities – will be dictating how users will search for, manage and exchange information. The network – evolved by technology – is changing the user's behaviour and that will affect the future of information services. Many envision a possible leading role for libraries in collaboration and community building services.
Users are not only heavily using new tools, but are also creating and shaping their own preferred tools.
Today's students are incorporating Web 2.0 skills in daily life, in their social and learning environments.
Tomorrow's research staff will expect to be able to use their preferred tools and resources within their work environment.
Today's ánd tomorrow's libraries should support students and staff in the learning and research process by integrating library services and resources into their environments.
Notes from attending FORCE2019 conference in Edinburgh (October 15-18), covering a range of topics around Research Communications, e-Scholarship, Open Science and Open Access. Links on last slide for full conference programme and presented materials available online.
Web 2.0 refers to the transition from static web pages to a more dynamic web allowing users to interact and collaborate. It enables users to connect, share and generate content. The document discusses how Web 2.0 has transformed distance learning by facilitating more interactive and collaborative learning environments compared to traditional one-way delivery of content. Educators are encouraged to incorporate Web 2.0 tools like podcasts, blogs, photo sharing, maps, video and wikis to engage students and support new styles of teaching and learning.
Making Web2.0 for science: Co-production of Web2.0 platforms and knowledgeJames Stewart
This paper examines how two contrasting scholarly publishers are responding to the opportunities and challenges of Web 2.0 to innovate their services. Our findings highlight the need to take seriously the role of publishers in the move towards a vision of more rapid and open scholarly communication and to understand the factors that shape their role as intermediaries in the innovation pathways that may be needed to achieve it.
Technology is having a major impact on libraries that must learn how to leverage the right technologies to stay in-step with the demands of students, faculty and patrons. Research documents that browser tools are a popular method for increasing use of self-service library tools, lessening the demands on library staff, and extending the reach of the library outside the building. Hundreds of academic and public libraries have adopted the Conduit solution to improve the overall library experience despite tighter budgets.

Incorporating student content at city- Diane Bell, City UniversityALISS
The document discusses various ways that City University London Library incorporates student input and content. It describes projects like Read for Research, which allows students to recommend books for the library to purchase. It also discusses using student feedback to help develop resources like a researcher library guide and employability workshops. The library has experimented with crowdsourcing ideas from students for collection development and service design. However, there are challenges to incorporating all student suggestions due to limits on time, money, and other resources.
The British Library conducted a survey of 600 readers in January/February 2015 to understand who uses the reading rooms and how. Key findings include:
1) Most readers were from higher education or conducting professional research. Over half were London-based.
2) Readers primarily used the reading rooms for academic works, research degrees, and personal interest. Printed books and journals remained the most used materials.
3) Dedicated reading rooms for specific disciplines remained important for many readers to have materials and support in one place. However, remote access to electronic resources was the most requested improvement.
4) Compared to 2009 data, certain activities like browsing shelves and using printed indexes were in decline, while use

Developing digital literacies in undergraduate students: SADL project - ALISS
The SADL project at the London School of Economics aimed to improve undergraduate students' digital literacies. It worked with student ambassadors and four academic departments to develop workshops on topics like research skills, reading, and managing information. Evaluation found the workshops and ambassador role were valuable but needed more structure. The project also highlighted differences between disciplines and challenges of scaling support across the university. Ongoing work focuses on developing peer learning, sustaining student leadership, and gaining departmental buy-in.

Doing something different staff development and workplace learning at Cardiff...ALISS
This document discusses workplace learning initiatives at Cardiff University. It began in 2005 with a pilot job rotation program involving 3 staff pairs rotating roles for 6 weeks. This helped improve skills and relationships. It later expanded to include Do Something Different days, where staff spend a day in another department, and job shadowing. These initiatives aim to help staff learn new skills, build relationships across the university, and increase job satisfaction. They have been popular programs that the document suggests could continue expanding to involve more areas of the university.

19. Implications for Researchers
• Scope for research expanding, especially Social
Science
• More tasks – and more checking
• Social Media outlets no competition for releasing
research (concern over releasing “unsafe” data)
BUT
• Great for identifying research
opportunities and amplifying
dissemination
20. Implications for Librarians
• Library & librarians not mentioned once in 2
researcher dominated groups – 4 hrs of discussion
• “Library is a building: Google is the whole world”
• Version of Record is key
• Opportunity to influence
workflow and increase
research efficiency, but how
to maximise impact – not
clear
