Disseminating Sex Research to Broader Audiences_SSSS2014_OmahaZhana Vrangalova
This document discusses various methods for disseminating sex research to broad audiences, including blogging, contributing to popular media outlets, presenting to local communities, and using Twitter. It provides advice and considerations for using each method based on the experiences of sex researchers. Blogging is highlighted as an effective way to engage audiences, increase visibility, and promote one's work, but it requires substantial time. Presenting to local communities can educate the public but requires tailoring content for different audiences and considering financial and time commitments. Twitter is recommended as a way to quickly share information with a wide network, but may also increase unwanted attention. Overall, researchers should choose dissemination methods aligned with their interests and career.
The document discusses trends for libraries beyond technology. It notes symptoms of dysfunction in some libraries and argues that libraries must change to remain relevant. Some key points are that libraries should focus on the user experience and answering users' questions, build knowledge portals around common inquiries, and tell stories about their impact to advocate for themselves. Libraries must also focus on quality over format and expand social media programs on information literacy. The future of libraries depends on understanding users, measuring impact, and collaborating instead of just socializing.
A Trend from Germany: Library Chatbots in Electronic ReferenceAnne Christensen
This document discusses the emergence of library chatbots in Germany and the experiences of libraries that implemented them.
