Emerging Technologies may be defined as web­based applications that futher the development of Web 2.0 initiaitves "including the
developmentand evolution of web­based communities, hosted services, and applications such as social­networking sites, video­sharing
sites, wikis, blogs, andfolksonomies” (Wikipedia, Web 2.0 definition)
Some additional examples include:
Bookmarking

Instant Messengers
QR Codes
Photosharing sites
ETC Charge
The ETC was developed to act in an advisory capacity by investigating
and evaluating new and existing technologies and provides guidance to
library departments and individuals. The Emerging Technologies Committee
evaluates and recommends new and emerging technologies within 75
the Libraries’ communication and public services environment. For the
purposes of this committee, ‘‘emerging technologies’’ will be limited to
applications and software that applies to library communications and
public services. The committee will focus on emerging technologies and
practices likely to enter mainstream use in learning­focused organizations 80
within the near future. The committee will provide guidance and recommendations
to departments and individuals currently managing these
tools and assess alternate technologies as needed. The committee will
determine a reasonable number of evaluations per academic year, per
consensus of committee members.

Why use a desktop application for Twitter?
Desktop Applications allow for easy management and viewing of one's twitter stream, especially for multiple accounts.
Desktop Applications
Tweetdeck: allows users to see sent, received, follwers/users on twitter
Seesmic Desktop: excellent for multiple twitter accounts
Hootsuite
Twitterific: for Mac users
Twuffer: send planned tweets, in the future
Digsby: allows users to open multiple social tools/networking on computer
For the iPhone: 29 Twitter apps for the iphone compared
Twitter Basics
What is Twitter?
Some refer to Twitter as a microblogging platform. Others think of it as a bar ­ a place to gather & share information with other like­minded people. It can also be a very good
marketing tool.
How Do You Interact With Others On Twitter?
Your friends on Twitter are called Followers.
A general update on Twitter is called a Tweet, which goes out to all of your Followers (and are searchable by any Twitter user, if your profile is not set to "protected").
Tweets must be 140 characters or less.
There are two options for communicating with an individual user:
Direct Message (DM) ­ this is a private message to another Twitter user
The @reply ­ you send out a tweet in which the @ symbol is followed (without spaces) by the username of the user you are replying to.
Forwarding:
To forward a tweet is to send a ReTweet (RT). This effectively passes on anothers' tweet to the rest of your followers.
Posting to Twitter and Facebook simultaneously:

Facebook
What is Facebook?
According to the Facebook Press Room statistics, despite being less than 10 years old Facebook has over 500 million active users, making it the most popular social networking
site in the world. It is important to know that at least half of active Facebook users are on the site every day.

RSS Feeds, podcasts, email alerts
RSS Feeds, Table of Contents and Email Alert Services: What they are all about
Table of contents/alerting serivces
FAU Libraries provide access to a number of services for accessing journal tables of contents (TOCs) and research alerts (results of searches you construct and then run
periodically or automatically).
RSS: Keeping up with research ­ What is RSS and why should I use it?
RSS is an XML­based format for sharing and distributing web content. An RSS reader (aka news reader or news aggregator) allows you to view information from multiple web
sites in a single interface. When you "subscribe" to an RSS feed, your reader will check that web site on a regular basis and show you any new content.

Creating RSS Feeds of Results
SearchWiSE allows you to create RSS feeds of your searches. After you have refined your search, you can create a "feed" which you can receive in your email which will show
the items you found in your refined search, as well as notify you of new items which fit those same search criteria.
To create a feed: Click on the RSS feed icon at the far right side of the screen (see yellow highlight) and follow the directions that appear.

Literature Review & Bibliography
Literature Review
ETC Poster Session: Literature Review
Articles discussing emerging technologies and social media in libraries are plentiful, with descriptions of various Web 2.0 tools and how those
specific tools may be used in libraries (Stephens 2007). Literature that addresses the use of staff in evaluating the increasing volume of
emerging technologies by way of committee vs. dedicated library position is lacking. Exceptions to this include an article by Dorney (2009) on
the hiring of three Emerging Technologies Librarians at Towson University in Maryland and an article by Stephens (2006) that does discuss
the use of an Emerging Technologies Committee. Additional literature includes articles focused on staff training programs for Learning 2.0
and instances where a department head initiated the implementation of social media within a single department, such as reference or
technical services (Gross & Leslie, 2008; Chen, 2009; Currie, 2010).
