How to Make Friends and Influence Students #CARL14LBurgert
Lorelei Sterling, Lisa Burgert, and Alejandra Nann from the University of San Diego presentation at CARL 2014.
Abstract: Have you tweeted, posted, uploaded, and updated until you are overloaded? Are you having trouble keeping up with all the latest web trends? Are you perplexed by status likes, shares, friending, unfriending, hashtags, and checking in? In the age of web 2.0 and working with digital natives, have we jumped off a cliff and into unknown territory? Everywhere we look libraries are launching into social media: blogs, Facebook, Google+, MySpace, Flickr, FourSquare, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube, wikis, and more. In this interactive session, we will explore various social media tools with a focus on discovering best practices and creating a successful social media plan for your library. Learn about the numerous tools available, what is new, what is working, what isn’t, and how to implement it in your library.
Using Social Media Tools to Enhance Your Professional Development and Online ...Tom Jelen
Find out how ASHA members are using social media tools and the ASHA Community to develop personal learning networks that enhance their professional development. In the second half of the session, learn about some social media techniques to help market yourself and your business or organization.

Strategies for marketing yourself and your private practice using social media
Several statistics show that the general public holds a wide interest on scientific issues. However, the public rarely finds their way to academic arenas. It has been estimated that every year over two million scientific articles and reports are published, but roughly half of them are read only by the author and the editors.
Public discussions are increasingly taking place in social media. Different online media are reported as central information sources when searching for scientific information. What can we do as researchers to help people to find the information they look for? How to make a researcher's voice heard online?
Communicating about one's research in social media means creating societal impact and defending a scientific worldview. In this workshop we will focus on practical tips and good examples on how to engage in different social media services as a researcher.

Using Social Media to Strengthen Donor RelationshipsJulia Campbell
Donor retention (how many donors continue to give to your organization after their first gift) is at an all-time low. It’s abysmal and worrisome.
The Association of Fundraising Professionals found that 70% of all donors that nonprofits recruit into giving a gift never donate again to that organization!
People of all generations are online and using social media platforms. Use this fact to your advantage as social media channels can be an excellent way to strengthen donor relationships.
In this webinar, we will cover ways that your nonprofit can use social media to build relationships with donors.

#BPDNOLA17 – The Social Media Toolkit goes on the roadLaurel Hitchcock
In November 2016, I had the pleasure of presenting with Allison Curington, Director of Field Education at the University of Alabama, about our Social Media Policy Toolkit at CSWE’s 2016 Annual Program Meeting in Atlanta, GA. Today, we are at BPD’s 2017 Annual Conference in New Orleans to share our work once again. We will be talking about a project that we have been working on for the past two years, a Toolkit for Social and Digital Media Policies in Field Education. Please join us at 11:00 AM in Bayside B at the Sherton in New Orleans for our presentation. Allison and I started collaborating on this toolkit after many, many conversations about the growing use (and misuse) of social media in field education by students, educators and field supervisors. We saw that field directors were increasingly dealing with ethical and practical issues related to the use of social and digital media in field education, and we wanted to provide information and tools to help field directors raise awareness with students and field supervisors.

This was presented at the University of Otago General Staff Conference, "Linked In and Switched On", 29 August 2014.
Books on Prescription is a programme designed to provide access to evidence-based self-help resources for those experiencing common mental health problems. It was adopted by the Southern Primary Health Organisation (PHO) in 2011, following in the footsteps of National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. It has found success in Central Otago Public Libraries and has recently been adopted by all public libraries in the regions of Otago and Southland.
Books are prescribed to patients by health professionals from a list of recommended titles that have been reviewed by mental health professionals. These titles allow people to independently learn strategies to improve their mental well-being and supplement primary health treatment for common mental health problems.
The University of Otago Health Sciences Library saw an opportunity to support the teaching and learning of medical students. By engaging in this collaboration the partners hope to embed the programme into the practice of future health professionals and to improve the well-being of staff and students. This paper reviews the programme in the University setting and Southern PHO catchment to date.
Developing Health Sciences students’ information skills through online self-p...Sarah Gallagher
Sarah Gallagher, Trish Leishman and Richard German - University of Otago Health Sciences Library
StudySmart is a self-paced online course originally designed for second year medical students at the University of Otago by the Health Sciences liaison librarians.(1) The course replaced in-class information skills labs and was piloted with this cohort in 2012.(3) In 2013, with support (2) from the Schools, StudySmart was rolled out to second year Dentistry, Pharmacy and Physiotherapy students. By the end of 2013 StudySmart was accepted as a Terms requirement within the Medical, Pharmacy and Physiotherapy curricula.
The content comprises learning objects developed in-house (4) as well as appropriate Open Educational Resources (OERs) from external sources. It comprises a series of topics, tasks and quizzes which are built within the extant Learning Management Systems (LMS) - Moodle and Blackboard. Academics are able to select topics that meet their students’ needs from a pool that is edited or added to as required.
We will report on qualitative and quantitative evaluation data which demonstrate the students’ level of knowledge and understanding after completing StudySmart, as well as reporting on what the students believed were the most valuable and least valuable aspects of the course. The majority of students who completed the course reported an increase in knowledge of, and understanding about, the topics covered and were positively disposed to the value of the online course.(5, 6) This paper will also report on some of the challenges that we faced and how the course has developed within the programmes for 2014.
This paper builds on a short talk given at Spotlight on Teaching & Learning at the University of Otago on 27th August 2013.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Opportunity
• This is another living
space
• Staff / students can opt in
• It’s about showing that
we know about this stuff
• We should be there if
they need us
• It’s about bringing people
together across distance
• Injection of fun

4. What do we need to consider?
Purpose:
To actively engage with students and staff of
Health Sciences in social spaces online.
Goals:
• Build relationships with people who
may not otherwise engage with the
library (e.g. Distance students, mature
students …).
• Engage with people around campus, and
the world, that we currently have
relationships with.
• Use this as a means of
marketing/promoting our resources and
services.
• Use these tools and spaces as a means
of up-skilling staff (library, academic and
general).

5. But, what do we say?
• What do they need to know?
• What do we want them to know?
• What have we got that they need
(resources and services)
• Does HOW we get this message
across REALLY MATTER?
• What’s important is WHAT we
say and HOW we say it.

11. What WML have to say about FB
• We certainly get a better student:librarian
ratio of followers on Facebook than on Twitter.
• While we get the odd piece of feedback we
don’t get a whole lot.
• One interesting thing to note is when we post
a link to something specifically WML
related, like the newsletter or databases, we
get more clicks from Facebook than from
Twitter.

Editor's Notes
17 Nov 2011 15-20minsThe Health Sciences Library (Medical and Dental) currently have a website - but we can't communicate with it. It's a one way street relying on updating by a third party. This is what could be termed web 1.0 – a didactic web, a broadcasting tool.Web 2.0 is the Internet we can interact with, it’s social. It’s a place where conversation happens and relationships are developed.So how can we get timely info to our students electronically?How do we engage with them on a personal level if they don’t come into the library?I want to have a chat about social media and how I think as a library, we could get involved in these socials spaces.I want to give you a bit of background about a few different social media spaces and reasons why I think we should be present in them.I want to show you some ideas I’ve been piloting.
Who am I?My social media story.I’ve been engaged with social media for many years and was an early adopter of FB and Twitter. IM served us well during the London Bombings and Twitter during the CHCH earthquake. In between I’ve been using Facebook to connect with students and alumni about their experiences living in named student flats, as well as stay in touch with family, friends and to network within my profession and wider interests.For me FB is about friends and family. Twitter largely about networking for my profession and interests. Some tweeps have become IRL friends and FB friends. Many of them are on campus here at Otago. What I’m interested in is how to make this leap for our students.
Our staff and students are using all kinds of social spaces and media to communicate within.They don’t just hang out and chat in these spaces, they are research spaces, study spaces and information gathering spaces.As purveyors of informationary goodness, shouldn’t we be available to them in those spaces too? This is another opportunity to provide “point of need” service.Injection of fun – well we are learning, why not make it fun, easy to participate and break down some potential social barriers (location, anxiety)?Fundamentally, this is another mode of communication and should be considered in that context.
Some good examples to check out are National Library and particularly Christchurch Public Library (who operates in a multiplicity of spaces).
Uptake to Facebook has sky rocketed. This is no longer a beta product, it’s been around, in circulation for over 7 years.
Many departments and schools within the University have a Facebook presence. Alumni, GRS, International Office, Grad longitudinal study, Pacific Health, Pharmacy, DSM, Physiotherapy, Dental, Distance, … (over 70)
Here’s what I posted on the School of Pharmacy wall yesterday.The great thing about communicating in this space is that there’s a captive audience – anything posted here should show up on their individual ‘wall’. That means I’ve just told all of the people who ‘like’ the School of Pharmacy that I’ve updated the Pharmacy subject guide.
See how WML are using FB. They mention their services, resources, trials, news (library and community).They use Twitter – can see the wee bird, indicates how that piece of info arrived in FB Their policy is transparent and available to view through the INFO tab.
And this is what Milton (from WML) has to say about it.Note the difference in information uptake by different media users, i.e. different demographics.
The rules of TweConSnow day storyTalk about OZ – twitter- IRL-email (e.g. Oz, papers, talks)If your shy, this is a good tool - (eg Oz seminar, me conferences)
An example of one of our PhD students, Osman Ahmed (Physio) who is using FB as a research intervention tool to create a community for students with recent concussion. He and I met through Twitter at The University of Otago Twitter Conference [#OUTwecon] and since then have met up for a chat, exchanged info and emails.
Here’s the current Twitter feed for @HealthSciLib.Note the Bio statement, moderator, etc.
This provides an example of how has mentioned us and in what context.
The important thing to appreciate is that we will never reach everyone.Not everyone has a TV or a mobile phone not does everyone visit the library or have a Facebook account.While there is some cross over between social media types, in most cases there are different demographics of users, esp between FB and Twitter.Think about HOW often you are going to engage … don’t want to spamming people
Gives you an idea of market share of companies using social media.Put catalyst data in here too
Social networks have rules just like any other communication forum.
Here’s a collection of links to presentations and websites that provide some up to date data and information about the use of Social Media tools in libraries. This is by no means an exhaustive list. There is a plethora of information out there!
