Here's some things he thinks libraries should think about doing or being involved in during 2014!

• Moocs.

Potential for 28-38% of universities to be bankrupt within 10 years

Khan Academy

Learn4life. High school equivalent; ed2go

Lynda.com. Growing 400% a month

Libraries can be the place people go to receive their certification testing or badges (be a facilitator of a program or developer of a program or both)...like a proctor+. 

• Some social media sites to watch:

SomeeCards. Show personality of the library culture

Snapchat. Personality of the library 

Tumblr get a connection to teen boys

Pinterest. Middle age women. Promote books

• Cloud storage, infrastructure and software:

Get 60-80% savings to IT costs (less server and software installation and maintenance)

"Online server backups pretty freaking secure. Govt use it why aren't you?"

• Cloud data for curated data warehousing:

Oclc worldshare

DPLA. Discoverability of free metadata

• Visualization. Primary learning styles for visual learning. We need to provide visual displays

Word clouds

Cube technologies

Visual search

• User experience- eye frame studies

Are you displaying next step search for a visual learner?

• Do Sentiment search on social media sites:

Look for Bias. Topsy.com. Analytics for political focus or positive/negative sentiment

Quality

Facets. Critical thinking

• Use good Infographics 

Extract real stuff impacts out of annual reports

Useful for fun extractions. Here's the 10 pieces of info I want you to get out of this annual report or program or new piece of information.

• 3d printing 

Many Patents expire soon

Smithsonian. Take pic of boat, scan, print model on 3d printer

Library collection -good for looking for inspiration for students/artists

Get girls engaged with STEM stuff

• Arduino. Raspberry Pi

Create a laser gate counter for next to nothing using arduino

Robotics

Lego

Dimensional toys as tools to connect with all ages!

• Librarybox

Hotspot. -

Kelaine insert:  I'm so glad to hear him mention this...validates my Little Free Digital Library idea for local author audiobook/poetry marketing/promotion

• Crowd funding

Rally.org. Libraries are using

Indiegogo

Kickstarter

Tech Librarian Gaffaw

So I was looking through MELcat (elibrary.mel.org) today for a recent book I heard about at the Internet Librarian conference and hoped I could find through inter library loan. I'm hoping it can give me some ideas for the cataloging technology bits of the local author digital audiobook creation project I'm trying to get off the ground.  

So anyway, I drop in Accidental Systems Librarian, 2nd edition* in the keyword defaulted search box 

* (by Nichole C. Engard with Rachel Singer Gordon)

Here's one of the early results...Crisis Counseling and Tramatic Events Treatment Planner

Followed by...Practical Homicide Investigation: tactics, procedures, and investigative techniques

Yep. Technology will be the death of me!
