Exercise 11 Reccommendations

Bankstown Library can integrate more of the web 2.0 applications into their system to provide efficiency. The information/reference should be transferred online completely for ease of access. The additional knowledge can be displayed through wikis or blogs. For the teenage and youth, it’s better to accommodate to the modern learning methods such as the video sharing applications or wikis. The children’s category is well covered by means of technology and web 2.0 applications. Local studies is fine how it is as it is best to view the artefacts in their actual form rather through pictures and words online.

An example of a best practice library is the State Library of New South of Wales

Exercise 10 Evaluation

Bankstown library

Web 2.0 has allowed development into libraries to come through many different means. It has changed the entire methods of practice in libraries.

Local Studies: History of Bankstown and suburbs, local history and family history/genealogy. The Local Studies collection is a specialised collection of material covering historic and current aspects of the Bankstown area. The collection is housed in the Local History Room, 2nd Floor Bankstown Library, and includes (but is not limited to) books, photographs, historical records, council minutes and rate books. Local Studies items are not available for loan, however items may be copied upon request.

Children’s: A range of activities and special events designed for educational play for children. The Kidzone has many links for children to use encouraging learning through fun activities.

Teenage/Youth:  HSC links are available, HSC lectures, online databases to find books and DVD’s.

Adult Fiction: eAudio books, eBooks, eFilms, eMagazines, eMusic, eNewspapers, Online Computer training, Online Research Databases.

Information/Reference:  You can find information on all subjects and areas of interest. If you require information for an assignment or project, it is useful if you can bring your questions with you. The staff can find information from other libraries if they don't have what you are looking for in the collections. You can also start a search in the library catalogue.

These all use forms of social media to keep the public notified and make it easier for them to access the items.

DUBLIN CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY
The building was reopened in 2003 following a restoration and major refurbishment and new build. The brief called for maintaining the architectural integrity of the original intact main building while redeveloping the rear section to cater for the more functionally demanding uses.
The library was originally funded by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust (this allocated funds donated by Andrew Carnegie 1835 – 1919 a Scottish / American Industrialist, who funded sixty-six libraries in Ireland, and approximately 2,500 throughout the World).
Opened 1 April 1909
Architect: C.J. McCarthy.

exercise 8

The you tube video about Robots is quite inspiring and amazing as well. Technology advancement is leading us to a new world of  less time more produtivity. i realy like the idea of  bookBots the system is both fasinating to watch and easy to use. Within the mintues of recieving the request, one of the bookBot's robotic cranes recieved the requested material and deliver it.
The Hunt library book delivery system stores millions of items and deliver any item within five minutes of click on online catalouge. Ithink this the future of libraries in modern world.

Library 2.0

Library 2.0,  is not only an extension of the “rebooting” of the Web, it is an application of the philosophies surrounding what makes Web 2.0 work. The term, coined by librarian Michael Casey in September 2005, led to extensive discussions, heated debate, and ongoing discourse online, in professional journals and at conferences and workshops. Casey and librarian Laura Savastinuk published their definition in Library Journal: “The heart of Library 2.0 is user-centered change. It is a model for library service that encourages constant and purposeful change, inviting user participation in the creation of both the physical and the virtual services they want, supported by consistently evaluating services.”¹

The principles of Library 2.0 seek to break down barriers: barriers librarians have placed on services, barriers of place and time, and barriers inherent in what we do. In this user-centered paradigm, libraries can get information/entertainment/knowledge into the hands of users wherever they are by whatever means works best.

Recently, the libraries at Mississippi held a Library 2.0 Summit to gather librarians from across the state to discuss what 2.0 technologies and thinking mean for the future of library services. Discussion centered on various tools in addition to how to apply 2.0 thinking to library services

Library 2.0 is a loosely defined model for a modernized form of library service that reflects a transition within the library world in the way that services are delivered to users. The focus is on user-centered change and participation in the creation of content and community.^[1] The concept of Library 2.0 borrows from that of Business 2.0 and Web 2.0 and follows some of the same underlying philosophies. This includes online services like the use of OPAC systems and an increased flow of information from the user back to the library.
With Library 2.0, library services are constantly updated and reevaluated to best serve library users. Library 2.0 also attempts to harness the library user in the design and implementation of library services by encouraging feedback and participation. Proponents of this concept, sometimes referred to as Radical Trust expect that the Library 2.0 model for service will ultimately replace traditional, one-directional service offerings that have characterized libraries for centuries.

Following are three applications commonly used by libraries
1:you tube
2:slide share
3:fliker

I have added 4 new gadgets to my blog so that it can make my page more appealing to the readers. I have added Newsreel, Popular Posts, Google+ followers and translator.

exercise 5

It is a good idea if libraries participate on a social networking website as it gives them a better mean to reach out their users and keep them aware regarding the library services and or changes. For instance, the Bankstown Library can create a page on Facebook on which they can detail all information regarding their upcoming events and services they offer. With this, the customers can get notifications on their news feed which will keep them informed and also give them the option to ask any questions in regards to the post. Further, social networking website also serves as a good option to gain first hand feedback as users can post and/or comment on their opinion. This in turn will help the library to improve their services as they will gain a good understanding of their customers’ likes and dislikes. It can also give them new ideas for services they can offer in the near future.

exercise 9

Bankstown area is very multi-cultural as it is populated by people from different ethnic backgrounds such as those from Arab, Indian and Chinese descent. Many of these residents have newly migrated here which means they have difficulty communicating and understanding English language. The Bankstown Library fortunately has many services to help such people improve their written and spoken English language skills. For instance, there are regular English conversation classes in the library as well as online IELTS preparation courses. There is also a multi-cultural specialist in the library with who you can discuss things such as the culture of Australia, information regarding events and services offered at the library and so on. This is very beneficial for new migrants as it helps them to cope with the pressures of settling in a new environment and gives them a platform to meet and socialise with people of different backgrounds.

To customise the blog is interesting. I simply chose the option of cliking tamplates on left hand of of my page. Then experiment few and finally choose the one i have now. The reason to select this is i love birds and soft colours

exercise 6

I like the idea of social bookmarking because being a parent of teenagers I always worried about them what they are reading. The same situation when they borrow  videos. It is usefull in todays world when kids downloading books and is hard to know what they have in hands. If libraries provide this service i hope most of the library users like it.
