Internet Librarian 2010
I am very excited to be presenting for the first time at Internet Librarian, October 25-27, 2010. Here are summaries of my workshop and two sessions:
W15: From Media Monitoring to Media Insight (Pre-conference Workshop)
(October 24, 2010 / 9:00 AM–12:00 PM)
Media monitoring as we know it is evolving. Learn the latest methods, tools, and techniques used in the world of communications, politics and public affairs to extend your existing monitoring service with insight and analysis for better decision making. This hands-on workshop introduces you to simple and advanced tools you can use immediately. It includes a survey of the latest tools and applications and illustrates their use with real world products and services. This workshop will be of interest to competitive intelligence professionals and anyone looking to ramp up their media monitoring service and to impress their customers.
C106: Mobile Future
(October 25, 2010 / 4:15 PM–5:00 PM)
Co-presenting with Joe Murphy (Yale University) and Chad Mairn (St. Petersburg College).
What are some of the mobile programs currently in development? What are other organizations doing that libraries can learn from? Hear what our experienced and forward-thinking panel highlights and what we should be paying attention to in the next year to shape our plans for a mobile future. An interactive discussion of topics from the day will be included.
C302: Value-Added Research
(October 27, 2010 / 11:30 AM–12:15 PM)
Co-presenting with Amy Affelt (Compass Lexecon) and Qin Zhu (HP Labs Research Library).
Many corporate librarians use specialized clipping and alerting services to deliver value through a tangible, pragmatic information product. Daily information alerts that are tailored to individual requestors’ interests delight constituents on a daily basis, meeting their needs by playing an active, consistent role in their success. Affelt details how e-book readers such as the Amazon Kindle and the iPhone can help librarians quickly and easily look for, clip, and archive critical information, explore techniques for streamlining and organizing information through the use of these devices so that it can be delivered to requestors when and where it is needed and explains the process of integrating content from librarians’ e-book readers to requestors’ smartphones. Lee discusses going beyond media monitoring to provide insight and analysis. Zhu discusses discovery tools and processes used to put information into context.
