The document discusses Twitter, including its history and features. It provides examples of how organizations, local infrastructure organizations, and individuals can use Twitter. Key points include:
- Twitter allows users to share short messages or "tweets" of up to 140 characters and interact with other users.
- Many non-profits, local groups, and infrastructure organizations are using Twitter to share information, raise awareness, and engage their supporters.
- For individuals and organizations, Twitter can be useful for networking, getting news and information, and conversing with others in their field. However, it requires an ongoing commitment to see benefits.
This presentation discusses reasons why organizations tend to be closed rather than open. It notes that closed cultures can stem from a culture of property ownership, laziness, and focusing too much on money and vanity rather than public good. However, opening up through open standards, transparency, and openly sharing information and data can help organizations better serve citizens and each other. Embracing open source software, open data, and public participation are presented as ways to move toward more open and collaborative organizations.
This document discusses research into how and why people use the social media platform Twitter. It begins by defining Twitter and providing statistics on its growth. The research aims to understand the differences between Twitter and blogs or social networking sites. An online survey was conducted with 197 respondents. The results found that Twitter is used to stay connected even from a distance, as a news source, to maintain weaker ties, and as a life log. Users reported Twitter decreasing their use of other platforms and increasing real-world interactions and word-of-mouth recommendations. Different types of users were identified through cluster analysis.

This document discusses creating a personal learning network (PLN) and provides information about various online tools that can be used to develop a PLN. It notes that a huge amount of data flows over the internet each second and explains how individuals can utilize a PLN to selectively gather useful information from this data stream for knowledge and wisdom. A number of blogs, microblogging platforms, and social networking sites are recommended as tools for collaborating with others in a PLN and managing the flow of information. Professionalism and digital citizenship are emphasized when using web-based PLN tools.
This presentation was given on October 15, 2009, as part of the Louisiana State University Libraries Tech Talks Series, facilitated by Digital Technologies Librarian Rebecca Miller.
This document summarizes Dr. Luke Sloan's research focusing on using Twitter data to understand social phenomena.

The document then discusses the lab's COSMOS software for open data analytics and demonstrates its capabilities. It emphasizes the importance of understanding Twitter data and the attributes it contains in order to properly evaluate its disclosure potential and ethical use when conducting social research. An exercise is proposed for workshop participants to closely examine Twitter data attributes and identify those with high disclosure risk.

Social media can be useful for academics to follow relevant individuals and organizations, stay up to date on new research, and promote their own work. Twitter allows following others to see short updates and links to new articles. Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and Mendeley are sites where researchers can upload works, follow others in their field, and access research. It is beneficial to create profiles on sites like Google Scholar Citations and LinkedIn to track downloads, citations, and professional connections that can enhance research. While digital footprints require careful management, online networks can foster valuable international collaborations.
This document discusses using Twitter for communication and organization in teaching. It notes that Twitter can be used for announcements, answering student questions, and messaging. Key advantages of Twitter include its ability to follow individuals and organizations, participate democratically, and access information from mobile devices. Twitter is one tool among blogs, wikis and email that each have their own advantages for information sharing depending on needs and circumstances. Participation is emphasized as important with any tool.
The document discusses using Twitter for communication and organization in classrooms and beyond. Twitter allows for [1] conversations, community, and collaboration. It can be used to [2] announce class messages and for students to ask questions. Twitter [3] allows anyone to participate democratically and follow individuals, organizations, and current events from mobile devices.
The document introduces Access to Research, a free two-year pilot program providing local UK libraries access to over 6,000 journals and 10 million articles from leading publishers. The program aims to expand access to publicly funded research as recommended by the Finch Report, and uses the Summon platform already in many academic libraries for searches that link directly to publisher websites to view and print articles.

About Me
Name:
Sean Steven Watkins
Date of Birth:
30 October 1991
Address:

Motivation
I am not a simple person, I am large; in stature and
heart, intricate and a deeper thinker than I would
sometimes like to admit. I am thorough and
meticulous, sometimes bordering on being a pedant.
My fascination with technology stems from a deep
seated passion for everything that seeks to do a task
better and differently, as well as a deep seated
nerdiness to fiddle and figure out how things work. I
despise ‘doing something the way it’s always been
done’, because I believe there is always a better way
to do anything, similarly I don’t follow crowds and do
something in a specific way because everyone else is
doing it.
I am not a person who reads manuals, I am far more
interested in figuring it out on my own and trying new
and innovative ways of doing that which has already
been done. I am obsessed with learning absolutely
anything from anatomy to physics, literature to art,
and absolutely everything technology related.
Economics and accounting I would rather skip.
I love people and working in teams has always
brought out the best in me. Due to my aforementioned
large heart, not physically (it’s not a health issue), I am
very accepting of criticism of my work, as I view it as
an opportunity to learn and grow from my mistakes.
I am a creative at heart, and I use writing as an outlet
for the many weird and wonderful ideas that occur in
my mind. I love stories and read as much science
fiction and fantasy as I can get my hands on.
