Social Media Policies: Head-Scratching-Worthy! « LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things
https://oflibrariesandthings.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/social-media-policies-head-scratching-worthy
LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things. A great WordPress.com site. Social Media Policies: Head-Scratching-Worthy! Control the message (emphasis in original; p. 3). Solomon also reminds us that people have always had negative things to say about libraries, and that the only change with social media is that those negative things now have the potential to be more publicly available (Rasmussen, http:/ lis9763winter13.wordpress.com. So, what do these two factors have to do with social media policy, exactly?

Cloud computing, described very concisely by this blog post from The Ohio State University Libraries. Journal of Library Administration, 51.

LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things. A great WordPress.com site. World of Warcraft and Me (McElferson). Anyhow, I thought I would give WOW a whirl. Ok, it was pretty neat and I really felt like I was part of this world (of warcraft! For a while I was protected against the attacks from glowing spiders but eventually I succumbed and died again. In terms of libraries and gaming? Well, this week’s lesson had a really important point in it that, Speaking as a gamer myself, I don’t believe that gaming programs/...

LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things. A great WordPress.com site. Newer posts →. This week I edited wikis for my first time – this was very simple. Although I was aware of them and knew how they functioned before it was neat to actually do it. More importantly, this week we were asked is Wikipedia good or evil? I also found one of the findings in the article by Sook “How and why do college students use Wikipedia? Are these heuristic devices at play? RSS, Blogs, and Other Fun Things. In that if we are being...

Tagging, Hashtags, Folksonomies, and What-Have-You « LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things
https://oflibrariesandthings.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/tagging-hashtags-folksonomies-and-what-have-you
LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things. A great WordPress.com site. Tagging, Hashtags, Folksonomies, and What-Have-You. This week I decided to implement hashtagging on my Instagram account. Although I am an avid Instagram user, I do not use hashtags (primarily because I just never think of it, and my profile is private so I figure it will not do much for my followers anyhow). However, I thought I’d try it out to see how my photos crop up on instagram when I hashtag them. Also, this article. Many library syst...

Cloud Computing: a Silver Lining for Library Services? « LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things
https://oflibrariesandthings.wordpress.com/2013/03/25/cloud-computing-a-silver-lining-for-library-services
LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things. A great WordPress.com site. Cloud Computing: a Silver Lining for Library Services? In short, I am very grateful for cloud computing, and I think it has a lot to offer libraries. This technology is not without its disadvantages, though. Also, what are the risks when so much information is housed in one place and it is lost? Surely this risk can be minimized, but it deserves due consideration. Truly, though, I think that cloud computing has great potential for libraries&...

Social Networking: GoodReads! « LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things
https://oflibrariesandthings.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/social-networking-goodreads
LIS 9763 : Of Libraries and Things. A great WordPress.com site. Now, here I am on GoodReads. On a professional level, I think that GoodReads will help me to keep up with the prolific amounts of materials being published particularly in YA and can help me with Reader’s Advisory questions in reference interactions. The only drawback to GoodReads for me is that it is so large that it is sometimes overwhelming. For instance, if I’m looking at different titles to read there are often hundreds to thousands...
