This document discusses ways to enhance the functionality of online public access catalogs (OPACs) to better meet user needs. It proposes adding features to OPAC 1.0 systems, such as keyword searching and integration of user-generated tags from LibraryThing for Libraries (LTFL). LTFL allows library patrons to provide tags for cataloged items, creating a folksonomy within the catalog. While tags may help with discovery, their relevancy is difficult to evaluate. The document advocates for OPAC 2.0 systems that are more collaborative, user-centered, and empower patrons to participate in the cataloging process.

Small Talk Handout 2 - TESOL 2010
Here is the second handout from my presentation on Small Talk from the 2010 TESOL Convention in Boston.
Responsive mobile design
This talk discusses responsive mobile design for Android applications. It emphasizes starting with the same content and hierarchy across different screen sizes and adapting the layout through switching points and margin points. The key is allowing the same content and functionality while making optimal use of screen space through techniques like synchronized scrolling, scroll-to-snap, and dynamically adjusting font sizes and dialogs. Responsive design ensures a quality experience across the wide variety of Android devices.
Service Learning Program Proposal
The proposed Service Learning Program aims to connect youth to meaningful service experiences in their community through coordinated projects and partnerships with other organizations. The program will run three times per year, with each session consisting of three service projects and monthly meetings. Key components will include learning from educators at each project, reflecting on experiences, and making a difference through meeting identified community needs. The program aims to benefit youth through developing skills, perspective, and engagement with their community while providing a structured avenue for service.
Responsive mobile design in practice
The document discusses responsive mobile design and minimizing the pain of developing for multiple form factors. It advocates building reusable UI components as "blocks" that can be combined and arranged differently depending on context. These blocks would contain a subset of data and handle their own layout and interactions independently of where they are used. This allows the same blocks to be reused on different screens or rearranged on a screen for different device sizes while keeping the underlying code unaware of layout context.
Designing for the mobile form factor
This document discusses designing for the mobile form factor. It begins by outlining characteristics of a great user interface: being user friendly, responsive, and polished. It then explains how mobile design is different due to limitations of smaller screens, varied orientations, touch interaction, lower screen densities and limited resources. The document provides guidance on adapting designs for these mobile constraints and stresses the importance of usability testing and prioritizing the user experience.
