Social Media Strategy & Goals
Organizations are great at starting new online projects ... and then letting them quickly die. Do you know how to plan, sustain, and set goals for an online project? This session describes the planning processes used by several different libraries — how they plan, create strategy, get buy-in, and sustain a social media project.
RFID, Checkout, Security Gates, and ... A New Way to Check Out
Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library decided to convert the library to RFID tags, install 11 checkout kiosks, install new security gates, retrofit their automated materials handler .... oh, and install new carpet. At the same time. In 5 days. And we were successful! In this presentation, David explains what the library did, what worked, and what didn't.
Emerging Trends & Transformations
A slightly different version of my trends and transformations talk focused on museums and historical archives a bit... for the Kansas Historical Society and Archives.
Designing The Digital Experience
The document discusses three paths to designing digital experiences: structural, community, and customer. It advocates writing an experience brief to define goals and mapping the customer journey. The presentation provides recommendations for libraries to focus on the customer experience by asking questions, emphasizing conversation, and staging experiences on their website. The overall message is that experience design improves the ordinary interactions people have with an organization online.
Outreach 2.0: the Digital Revolution of Public Relations
The document discusses strategies for libraries to increase their number of Facebook fans through a $10 per day marketing campaign. It provides case studies of 7 libraries that were able to gain thousands of new fans within 28 days using this approach.

Web 2.0 presentation focused on showing YA librarians what kids are already doing, and provides ideas for librarians to connect and start conversations with their younger patrons by using emerging technology tools and services.
Creating Customer Experience - On the Web, In the Library, In the Community
Customer experience is a strange brew of structure, community, and customers. Today’s savvy librarians need to focus on creating digital and physical experiences for customers so that they can quickly find information, make decisions, or participate. Librarians need to create experiences that visitors not only remember, but share with their friends. David Lee King breaks down the customer experience in a way that will help you remain an indispensable focal point of your community.
People don’t want just goods or services from a business anymore – they want unique, engaging experiences built around those goods and services. It’s the same for your library. Our patrons are looking for more than a book – they can find that at Walmart and via their favorite mobile device. They want a unique, engaging experience built around “your stuff.”
presentasi tentang Stress management
The document discusses various sources and types of stress, including work load, people, mind, and body. It then provides suggestions for alleviating excessive stress, such as becoming aware of stressors and reactions, recognizing what can be changed, reducing emotional and physical reactions, building physical and emotional reserves, eliminating stress from the environment, and practicing meditation. Some specific suggestions include exercise, nutrition, time management, assertiveness training, relaxation techniques, and focusing on breathing, objects, sounds, or mental imagery during meditation.

Tinkering vs. Problem Solving
Problem solving involves the discovery and analysis of problems and solutions in a formal manner, often with the impression that there is only one solution. Tinkering is a type of problem solving that emphasizes creative and social means, inviting innovation through a broad range of less formal methods. While both involve addressing issues, tinkering places more importance on play, learning, and collaboration in the process.

Women in STEM
The Kelly Global Workforce Index (KGWI) is an annual global survey that is the largest study of its kind. In 2015, Kelly collected feedback from 164,000 workers across 28 countries across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions and a multitude of industries and occupations.
This study is taking a high level look at:
- Work-Life Design as it pertains to the global worker today.
- Women in STEM Talent Gap - a study that at the gap of women talent in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – fields.
- Career Management – specifically the emerging trend of do-it-yourself (“DIY”) career development – as it pertains to the global worker seeking to be as resilient as possible in today’s uncertain environment
- Collaborative Work Environment as it pertains to the global worker today.
Here is our second global report on the topic Women in STEM.
Tinkering with your time use
The document discusses ways to identify time wasters and improve time management. It suggests keeping a timelog to track how time is spent, looking for activities that waste large amounts of time, and making small, consistent changes such as prioritizing goals and responsibilities to see big results over time.
The Tinkering Studio
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Girls & STEM: Making it Happen
It is often said that girls either are not interested in STEM subjects or are left out for various reasons. Some of this “common knowledge” is actually a myth – girls are interested in SOME STEM areas, such as biology, but not others, such as computer science. This session will take a deep dive into these myths and realities to discover what is really attractive to girls in elementary and secondary schools in STEM subjects.
Participants will learn about the Maker Movement and the potential to bring new tools and technology to K-12 classrooms to support hands-on learning across all grades and curriculum – but particularly STEM and STEAM. The implications of the Maker Movement are two-fold. One is that many of the technological inventions support areas that are of particular interest to girls, such as inventions that help people, sewable electronics, e-textiles, bio-materials, and community projects. The second is that the collaborative, tinkering nature of the Maker Movement dovetails with girls ability to work collaboratively and in a connected way. By exploring best practices from schools around the world that have successfully created strong STEM programs for girls, the participants in this session will be able to take away ideas and resources that will be of use in their own schools and districts.
(This was a session presented at ISTE 2015.)

This document discusses the arguments for using technology in Jewish education. It argues that while technology can increase efficiency and possibilities, its use requires a mindful approach. Simply introducing new technologies into classrooms does not guarantee educational benefits. Educators must understand how to leverage technologies to connect lessons to their affordances and avoid "just-so" explanations that technology will automatically improve education. A thoughtful approach is needed to skillfully blend technology with deep understanding, ethical values, and community.

Everything is 2.0: Now What?
Although the Web 2.0 buzz is noisy and sometimes deafening, it can be an exceptional tool to help librarians enhance traditional services. And with Web 3.0 on the horizon, now is the perfect time to ignore this buzz and actually do 2.0. There are so many widgets, new technological devices, and other Web 2.0 thingamajigs that planning to do 2.0 can be an intimidating task. Now that everything is 2.0, let’s follow a Web 2.0 principle and work together, share our “real-life” experiences, and have fun along the way.
Ess presentation
Tania Kerr, Erica Smith, Michael Smith, and Sarah Turner created a professional development package on digital portfolios. They define a digital portfolio as an electronic collection that demonstrates a student's learning journey and supports assessment. Digital portfolios should be used for assessment of learning, not just assessment of skills or knowledge. The package provides examples of how digital portfolios can be implemented and considerations for their use, such as purpose, technologies, and logistics.
What's New?
The document discusses various Web 2.0 tools that can be used to enhance library services and user experience, improve outreach and marketing, and make workflows more efficient. It provides many examples of libraries using tools like wikis, RSS, social networking, online presentations, video sharing, and more. The document emphasizes that libraries don't need to implement all tools at once, but can start small by dedicating 15 minutes a day to exploring new technologies.

Customer Experience - On the Web, In the Library, In the Community
Customer experience is a strange brew of structure, community, and customers. Today’s savvy librarians need to focus on creating digital and physical experiences for customers so that they can quickly find information, make decisions, or participate. Librarians need to create experiences that visitors not only remember, but share with their friends. David Lee King breaks down the customer experience in a way that will help you remain an indispensable focal point of your community.
People don’t want just goods or services from a business anymore – they want unique, engaging experiences built around those goods and services. It’s the same for your library. Our patrons are looking for more than a book – they can find that at Walmart and via their favorite mobile device. They want a unique, engaging experience built around “your stuff.”
