OCLC Online Computer Library Center Getting to the On Ramp A presentation for the OLC Technical Services Retreat by George Needham Vice President, Member Services April 26, 2006

OCLC Online Computer Library Center A relevant quote… “If you’re in control, you aren’t going fast enough!” Mario Andretti

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Today’s agenda  Definitions and examples  Three ways to discover new treasures  Two easy ways to get information delivered to your desktop (and a few others)  My personal favorite sources and tools

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Credits  Stephen Bell’s Keeping Up Website  Rush Brandis, “Blog the Web with RSS: Is it Really Simple Syndication?”  Genevieve Foskett (post to “It’s All Good,” Thursday, April 20, 2006)

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Credits, page 2  Judith Siess, “Thinking About…Keeping Up---It’s Not an Option” OPL: Newsletter for Librarians and Management (22:2, June 2005, updated April 2006)

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Listservs  Electronic mailing lists  Provide updates directly to your mailbox  As each post is added, or  Daily (or more frequent) compilations or digests  Older, less interactive, but simple  Examples: PUBLIB, WEB4LIB, AUTOCAT

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Blogs  Web-based  Periodic articles or entries  Online diaries  Many are subject focused, even if that subject is simply one middle-aged librarian’s look at the world  Examples: It’s All Good, Shifted Librarian

OCLC Online Computer Library Center XML  Extensible Mark Up Language  Powers the various ways of getting information around the Web  Why should you care?

OCLC Online Computer Library Center RSS  Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary (the controversy continues!)  Creates a link to content from site A (the creator) to site B, your , aggregator (next slide), or home page  Just look for the logo!

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Aggregators  A tool to bring it all together  “Pull” versus “Push”  Examples: My Yahoo!, Sharp Reader  Sounds expensive. How much is this going to cost me?

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Three Ways to Discover New Sites  Blog rolls  “Best of” lists  Cross references

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Blog rolls A list of blogs that a blogger reads or recommends

OCLC Online Computer Library Center “Best of” lists Only as good as the person or organization that compiles the list (or counts the votes!)

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Cross References  Bloggers are reflexively cross-referential  We frequently point to other posts to help propagate a new idea…  …or, occasionally, to embarrass the miscreant who suggests something dumb  Again, consider the source!

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Three ways to get content  My Yahoo!  Sharp Reader  iTunes (podcasts)
