IMT122 social bookmarking diigo Topic 12

shared by Joanne S on 22 Nov 12 - No Cached
  • Social bookmarking can allow academic libraries to network and share appropriate scholarly web sites and work to develop cost-effective electronic resources for reference and curriculum support
  • Using social bookmarking within academic libraries has great potential to not only share helpful web sites but can enhance reference both inside and outside the library.
  • By utilizing social bookmarking, academic librarians can identify a variety of relevant information in numerous formats that will support students' individual learning styles. Social tagging provides an advantage over spiders and search engines that do not have the human capability to conceptually ascertain a web page's subject.
  • ...23 more annotations...
  • earning to use these social bookmarking sites requires some technical know-how and an acquired familiarity with sites' features. In addition, librarians must find time to hone and implement these tools.
  • Within an academic context, social tagging and the folksonomies that can be created by librarians through tagging must provide a measure of semblance of structure and consistency to support curricula
  • Academic librarians are able to qualitatively identify and tag pages according to subject or related topic, even if the subject term(s) are nowhere to be found on the page.
  • A number of academic institutions have bravely ventured into this new social realm of information classification and have developed progressive ways to utilize social tagging sites to reach out to their users and provide these communities with personalized and institution-specific library services. Librarians are using these sites' features to organize and disseminate information to their users as well as to continually discover useful web sites and to network with colleagues.
  • Social bookmarking can also be used to facilitate interaction and professional development among academic librarians and faculty.
  • workshops and instructional sessions. During such instruction, librarians have an opportunity to educate students on the use of social bookmarking and direct them to tagged pages by subject.
  • Diigo8 touts itself as “a powerful research tool and a knowledge-sharing community,” and allows users to bookmark pages but provides a particular feature of note, the capability to “add sticky notes” to tagged pages. The web site facilitates collaboration on projects by allowing users to create groups and communities. Diigo's home page specifically states the site can be used to “discover quality resources on any subject or get personalized recommendations.” Other useful features include tag clouds and links to subject-specific news web sites, user-defined subject lists, and communities of users.
  • “basic assumptions” about finding information today have changed. While librarians are accustomed to consulting traditional library resources such as the catalog, a database or even a book, younger generations including Generation Xers and Mellennials assume any information they need is available somewhere on the web.
  • academic librarians can use social tagging to point users to useful pages while demonstrating the value of information literacy.
  • Social tagging allows academic librarians to develop appropriate folksonomies
  • Academic librarians can use social tagging conceptually to emphasize information literacy and to become more approachable and accessible to users by incorporating other Web 2.0 concepts
  • Social tagging allows users to sign up for an account on any one or several sites and begin collecting and bookmarking online resources by URL and identifying those links with personal “tags” or according to collective tags used by other users who have found the same resources,
  • find e-resources other libraries have discovered as well as librarians' blogs. Tapping into resources already discovered by fellow academic librarians saves time by avoiding duplication.
  • Librarians can also use sites that allow them to make reference notes and give additional tips and guidance for students using particular links for their course-related research.
  • Several new social software tools developed with the advent of Web 2.0 have the potential to enhance library services often at little to no expense.
  • One particular group of students that can benefit from the use of social tagging includes those taking online courses. These students, who often lack any kind of classroom interaction, can benefit from the social aspect of using online tagging sites
  • undergraduate students need to learn how to effectively take advantage of web resources and librarians are in the ideal position to lead the way.
  • Social bookmarking, also called social tagging, might have the most potential as a Web 2.0 tool that can be utilized in academic libraries to benefit their users and enhance their services.
  • “collaborative and interactive rather than static”
  • differences between credible sites and non-authoritative resources
  • Academic libraries might not seem so archaic or overwhelming to younger generations of students if online resources become more interactive and collaborative over time.
  • Academic librarians can create accounts within social bookmarking sites and harvest web resources according to various subjects and related concepts.
  • A number of academic libraries, however, are beginning to embrace these new collaborative tools that younger generations of Web users are already implementing on their own.

      You've seen the word, you've seen the web sites and you may even have one.  But have you ever wondered:  What's the big deal about blogs? This is Blogs in Plain English. To make sense of blogs, you have to think about the news and who makes it. We'll look at news in the 20th vs. the 21st century to make our point. In the 20th century, the news was produced professionally.  When news happened, reporters wrote the stories and a tiny group of people decided what appeared in a newspaper or broadcast. Professional news was mainstream: general and limited. The 21st century marked the point where news became both professional and personal.   A new kind of web site called a weblog or blog came onto the scene that let anyone be a reporter and publisher - often for free. As blogs became popular, they created millions of news sources and gave everyone an audience for their own version of news. Of course, we're using the word "news" loosely.  But really - isn't everything news to someone?  With a blog...A business owner can share news about his business A mother can share news about her family Or a sport star can share news with fans These people are all "bloggers". How did this happen? Well, blogs made sharing news on the web easy.  Anyone with an idea can start a new blog with the click of a button and share news minutes later. Here's how blogs work. Blogs are websites that are organized by blog posts - these are individual news stories, like articles in the paper. Bloggers simply fill out a form like this one to post a new story. With the click of a button, the blog post appears at the top of the web page, just above yesterday's news.  Over time, the blog becomes a collection of these posts, all archived for easy reference. Also, Each blog post can become a discussion through comments left by readers. Blogs make the news a two way street. But really, the fuss is not about how blogs work - it's about what people like you do with

  • But some experts are starting to worry that the digital revolution transforming the way we live is also making us ill.
  • may be causing structural changes in the brain.
  • non-verbal cues such as body language and eye contact, which may be responsible for up to 70 per cent of our understanding of human messages, are not available to social media users, and therefore innate traits such as empathy are being diminished.

  • ''There are lots of social pressures to respond instantaneously, whether you've got your on-leave email tracker on or not, so that work-life balance is a growing issue … We're embedded in a culture where this is normative and we just do things without stepping back and reflecting and asking is this actually good for us or the next generation?''

      This is interesting because it points to a common business strategy online these days, that is, build a network of users through free/freemium model and then, when there is a large enough base, change the business model to generate revenue. Quite a few internet businesses run on the investment income initially and only start pulling in revenue later on. Worth thinking about in term of the economy category (you all remember that you need to try to keep community, power, economy and identity in your head somewhere when doing your readings and other work in this unit?) - if we depend on these services for our music etc, are we thinking enough about the fact that these are not provided out of altruism but are commercial ventures and thus, the shape of the platform and network (and hence, our experiences) are determined by the profit imperative? Pandora also restricted its free service, moving to closer to the 'freemium' business model. At this point, it appears to be at a level that probably won't impact significantly on most. However, I'd like you to consider the implications of having a commercial service like this become embedded in your lives (and many many of the internet services we have are profit-based) against those larger questions of the unit (see the interpretive and critical perspectives in particular)--economic and political aspect
