Library/BarCampOhio - My Morning discussions

Filed under: Internet, Librarianshp — AaronTheLibrarian @ 2:02 pm

Oy, I don’t think I kept up with the discussion at all… here’s the #BarCampOhio feed

We started out with “community generated content” and morphed through “using patron usage data for enhanced services” (and should it be “opt” in or “opt out”?) then into “enhanced records - do users want this & what enhancements do they want” on into various discovery tools - Solrpac is very nice (I wanna try a beta for MPOW - can I have an extra few days per week?)

That’s all I can come up with - no real take aways at the moment… post-prandial & post-sponsor speeches chaos ensues

Preping for Library/BarCampOhio

Filed under: Internet, Librarianshp — AaronTheLibrarian @ 12:01 pm

So here it is, less than a week to go before Library/BarCampOhio, and I’m totally dry on ideas (which haven’t already been done to one degree of teh awesome or other).  If you were going to go to a LibraryBarCamp what would you want to discuss / hear ideas about?  How about a hackfest?

Thanks for your ideas!

State of the Net West

Filed under: Internet — AaronTheLibrarian @ 8:13 am

If you happen to be in the San Francisco Bay Area on August 6th and you’re interested in what the Congressional Internet Caucus thinks about the state of the net, consider stopping by the State of the Net West event. If I were in the neighborhood, I’d be there.

From State of the Net West

Overview

In August The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee in collaboration with the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara School of Law cordially invites you to attend the 2nd Annual State of the Net West Conference on Wednesday, August 6th, 2008, in the California Room at the Benson Center of the Santa Clara University School of Law, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The discussion will feature leaders of the Congressional Internet Caucus, including Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, Congressman Mike Honda, and Congressman Bob Goodlatte. Other participants will include West Coast academic scholars, public interest advocates, and industry executives during a series of discussions on current, important technology policy issues. State of the Net West is designed to channel West Coast thought leadership from the academic community and private sector to help inform the technology policy issues being debated in Washington.
