A message on behalf of the Communications Committee –
A professional photographer will be here to take individual staff photos for website and professional use. Photographs are optional except for ERI and Technology Strategy staff. No need for appointment – just show up. It will only take a few minutes of your time.

Great Work Nina!
In the “Hot on the Web” section of June 2010 issue of C&RL News there is mention that Nina McHale's March 2010 C&RL News article, “Steal this Code! Please!: Creating HTML widget generators for libraries” is listed as #5 among the top 10 most read articles in C&R News online during April 2010.
Here’s the original article:http://crln.acrl.org/content/71/3/136.full.pdf+html...and here’s the “Hot on the Web” mention from the June issue:http://crln.acrl.org/content/71/6/282.full.pdf+html
The Future of Libraries Webinar
On June 8, a webinar took place called The Future of Libraries. Although the Health Sciences Library did not subscribe to the live webinar, they have purchased the archived recordings of the webinar. They will be setting up viewings for library staff for four of the six sessions (only two mentioned below as the others were prior to News@1100 release). If you cannot make a session, or you want to see one of the two sessions that we are not showing, contact Melissa DeSantis and she can send you the username and password to view on your own.
All sessions are an hour long and will take place from 12 – 1 pm on the following dates at HSL:
June 29 – Videoconference room – Check in at the Future of Libraries (Joe Murphy)
July 1 – Tower Room – You are the Future (David Lankes)
Here are descriptions of the sessions:
Check In at the Future of Libraries –Foursquare has been called the next Twitter, location based social networks are all the rage this year, and even our interaction with places, people, and information is being affected by the emerging ‘check in’ culture. Learn about Foursquare and the other major geo-based social networks and games including Gowalla, MyTown, and Loopt. Explore how they may impact the future of libraries and discover how libraries stand to gain from this new trend of engaging and leveraging the power of place.
You are the Future – The future is bright for libraries, but not if we continue chasing trends and focusing on artifacts over knowledge and learning. This presentation looks at the future of librarians and their role in libraries and beyond into the future. We must shape the future starting today, and that future is about you, not your buildings or collections or institutions. You are part of an ongoing conversation.
(Ask for username/password to view) The present moment of the future – We are always in the present and never in the future, so what is the future to us in the present? How does one connect with the new, the innovative, the changing and the evolving just as they sit? Where do we take people who are our communities of influence when we implement and innovate the present to resemble a vision, a future? How do we connect people to the future?
(Ask for username/password to view) Pecha Kucha – Pecha Kucha is based on the 20x20 concept where each speaker will use 20 slides/images of their choosing that will be advanced every 20 seconds, giving exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds to address the topic from their unique perspective. The topic will be future ready – what new pressures will libraries face and what adaptations will libraries need to make to continue thriving in the near future?
(Ask for username/password to view) Future Ready – What is the new normal and what are customer expectations? These expectations are not driven by what libraries want to provide or tradition. They are driven by the new ecology of the web and big players like Facebook, Bing, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon, Google and more. Is your library ready? Are you offering both ‘hot’ and ‘cool’ information delivery? Are you paying as much attention to the experience of the library as you do the transactions? Are you meeting your users’ expectations? Will your library thrive in the 3.0 world? What adaptations will you make to thrive in future scenarios? How can we afford these changes?
(Ask for username/password to view) The Future of Libraries and Technology – After two decades of continuous library technology increases and a budget crisis that has affected nearly every library in the world, we are left with the question: what will the library of the future look like? We have seen huge cuts in expensive brick and mortar spaces and collections, in-person services and programming, and other face-to-face library services. At the same time, we are finally realizing the high return on investment for library web, mobile, hardware and software services. The budget crisis may force us to face our inefficiencies and drastically re-engineer our services and the way we provide them.
