It’s vital to the continued relevance of libraries in today’s world. Libraries are now so much more than book repositories and users look to libraries to provide services beyond the traditional roles and users have responded positively to these changes. Feedback from users and…Read more

I know in my library, its mostly due to lack of staff, with some budget constraints in there too. The ability to show the user that the library listens to what they need is a big thing. I like that you are helping ESL patrons…Read more

I also know from experience that it really depends on who is managing either or both, how much information is shared and how much interaction is conducted. My library’s own social media is sorely lacking and needs an overhaul to make it more integrated and…Read more

My own library, I feel, is incredibly small and I don’t know if I could re-create the space to give it due justice. The ability of libraries to allow for these difference spaces has opened up the possibilities of what could be…Read more

I find it fascinating that you know two languages and are looking to learn ASL. I wanted to learn sign language at one point in time when I was younger because I saw a fellow camper being an interpreter. I never did pursue it, so I hope you do!

I completely agree with your assessment of a community college staff.

I would love to have more experience at cataloging that what I got in INFO 248, so I am also a bit envious and hope that it is a wonderful experience for you. I also am excited to learn about the hyperlinked library and what it can do for the library that I work with. Excited to be in the class!

You asked a great question and from the perspective of my community college library, it would fall on my limited staff of 3. Unfortunately we are already multi-tasking that adding this would create yet another hurdle that we would be more than happy to accomplish if it better served our patrons.

Like you, I was intrigued by what the class has to offer about emerging trends in technologies not only for libraries, but for people in general.

I actually enjoy working at my community college library. It’s part of a small community college, but I get to be personable and know the students.
