The document discusses how users are bypassing traditional library and publisher interfaces and intermediaries by using search engines, RSS feeds, blogs, and other tools. It argues that libraries and publishers need to develop more user-friendly and useful services that meet users where they are, rather than expecting users to come to the libraries and publishers. The rise of social software, mashups, and users tagging and sharing information also allows users to become their own intermediaries and bypass traditional intermediaries.
A presentation by Scott Abel, TheContentWrangler.com, to technical communication professionals at the Documentation and Training Conference Boston 2006.
The modern library web environment consists of multiple content sources and applications that perform essential functions that often overlap and could potentially create a fractured user experience. For example, content in a library’s Drupal website may be replicated in LibGuides or WordPress blogs. Search functionality in a discovery platform may be replicated in a federated search tool or the ILS OPAC. This presentation provides tips, tackles technical and political challenges to building a single web experience for users, discusses solutions and use of APIs (application programming interfaces), provides concrete examples, and more.
Ken Chad presented the keynote at the EDS (Ebsco Discovery Services) conference at Regents University, London in July 2016. He reviewed future trends for Google and enterprise search including factors such as voice (‘conversational’) search, the ‘ultimate assistant’, entities (‘things not strings’), visual search and the role of big data, context and intention. He then looked and some trends in library discovery services. There will continue to be a multiplicity of approaches open to users and Ken recommended that libraries do more to focus on the needs of users– the ‘jobs’ they were trying to do– in order to acquire and/or innovate new approaches to library discovery services.

Being found in commercial search engines, like Google, and writing indexable content have largely been on the periphery of library web development practice. In this session, we will explore the mechanics and principles of white hat SEO, identify components that contribute to successful harvesting of library web sites and microsites, and discuss the need to make library content findable in broader online settings. Come learn why SEO is not just "snake oil" and can be an integral part of library marketing and outreach initiatives.

The Bibliographic Framework Initiative, or BIBFRAME, is intended to provide a replacement to the MARC format as an encoding standard for library catalogs. Its aim is to move library data into a Linked Data format, allowing it to interact with other data on the Web. In this session, Emily Nimsakont, the NLC’s Cataloging Librarian, will cover the basics of BIBFRAME, describe what it can provide for users of library catalogs that MARC can’t, and outline what librarians should be aware of regarding this change in the cataloging landscape.

There’s been a lot of buzz about the emergence of the Web 2.0 and how it’s changing everything that we do on the Internet. Launching the Library 2.0 looks at how library systems and services fit into this new user-centric world where dynamic Web-based tools, online communities, and the ability to personalize everything drives one’s computing environment. Come see how the Library 2.0 is being envisioned, the tools that make it work, and how it will affect everything that you do.
Library discovery: past, present and some futureslisld
A presentation at the NISO virtual conference on Webscale Discovery Services, 20 November 2013.
Considers some of the issues that have led to the adoption of these services, and some future directions.
Distinguishes between discovery (providing a library destination) and discoverability (making stuff discoverable elsewhere).
This is a very basic workshop to introduce novice users to Omeka with an eye towards providing hands-on experience to decide whether it can serve their own research needs.
Open Source Software (OSS) is sometimes associated with Freeware and Shareware, but this webinar will eliminate that confusion and discuss the value of all three of these for your library. With libraries facing Draconian budget cuts it seems natural for them to select and use a variety of the above-mentioned software tools, but this frequently is not the case. Learn why in this presentation and leave with a jam-packed software toolbox.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
