Book excerpt: This work skeptically explores the notion that the internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print-based academic libraries. It makes a case for the library's staying power in the face of technological advancements (television, microfilm, and CD-ROM's were all once predicted as the contemporary library's heir-apparent), and devotes individual chapters to the pitfalls and prevarications of popular search engines, e-books, and the mass digitization of traditional print material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information age, as compared with post-industrial society, is characterized by the fact that it will deal with material less and less, and with information more and more. Keeping up to date with changes in education is important for all of us but especially for those of us working in academic and public libraries. Libraries can leverage growing interest in active learning, new media and information formats, and technology-rich collaborative spaces within the higher education environment. To know when, where and how to search, and how not to discover the already discovered. For librarians it means that we have to supply our users with the information they demand, in a form they want, at the moment they need it and to a place they require it to be. What a library as an information institution may offer or what it wants to do is not the key. The key is what is demanded. Thus, we are getting to libraries as such. The information society is undergoing stages of development similar to the developmental stages of the library--moving from the traditional library, to the automated library, to the electronic library and on to the ""virtual"" library. In this process, its historical form, main objectives and range of services are also changing quite dramatically. A traditional library is full of printed documents, readers, librarians and cases with catalogs. An automated library, which provides access to its printed documents through its On-line Public Access Catalog (OPAC) and which has carried out a retro-conversion of its card catalogs, is not physically equipped with catalog cases. An electronic library, which is connected to the Internet through which it provides access to its digitized (originally printed) book collections in an electronic form, does not physically keep shelves with books and periodicals.The aim of New Trends and Developments in Libraries is to discuss some of these new trends of library services. This is an innovative and practical toolkit introducing concepts, drawing together opinions and encouraging new ways of thinking about library learning spaces for the future.

Download or read book Social Media and Library Services written by Lorri Mon and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of social media technologies has created new ways to seek and share information for millions of users worldwide, but also has presented new challenges for libraries in meeting users where they are within social spaces. From social networking sites such as Facebook and Google+, and microblogging platforms such as Twitter and Tumblr to the image and video sites of YouTube, Flickr, Instagram, and to geotagging sites such as Foursquare, libraries have responded by establishing footholds within a variety of social media platforms and seeking new ways of engaging with online users in social spaces. Libraries are also responding to new social review sites such as Yelp and Tripadvisor, awareness sites including StumbleUpon, Pinterest, Goodreads, and Reddit, and social question-and-answer (Q&A) sites such as Yahoo! Answers—sites which engage social media users in functions similar to traditional library content curation, readers' advisory, information and referral, and reference services. Establishing a social media presence extends the library's physical manifestation into virtual space and increases the library's visibility, reach, and impact. However, beyond simply establishing a social presence for the library, a greater challenge is building effective and engaging social media sites that successfully adapt a library's visibility, voice, and presence to the unique contexts, audiences, and cultures within diverse social media sites. This lecture examines the research and theory on social media and libraries, providing an overview of what is known and what is not yet known about libraries and social media. Chapter 1 focuses on the social media environments within which libraries are establishing a presence, including how social media sites differ from each other, yet work together within a social ecosphere. Chapter 2 examines how libraries are engaging with users across a variety of social media platforms and the extent to which libraries are involved in using these different social media platforms, as well as the activities of libraries in presenting a social "self," sharing information, and interacting with users via social media. Chapter 3 explores metrics and measures for assessing the impact of the library's activity in social media sites. The book concludes with Chapter 4 on evolving directions for libraries and social media, including potential implications of new and emerging technologies for libraries in social spaces.
