[Access-ip] Fwd: Re: 2007 Ivy+ Access Services Symposium...Save the Date!

Tue Oct 17 09:54:24 CDT 2006

Hi all,
This also might be a conflict for some ... Trevor Dawes sent an 
announcement of this conference out yesterday:

Technology and Library Services: Meeting Today's Users Needs
An academic library symposium sponsored by the 
<http://library.princeton.edu/>Princeton University Library
and the
<http://www.njla.org/sections/college/>NJLA College and University 
Section/ACRL New Jersey Chapter
Thursday, 15 March 2007

We've heard a lot of talk recently about the millennium 
generation.  We have seen in the most recent Beloit College "Mindset 
list," 
<http://www.beloit.edu/~pubaff/mindset/2010.htm>http://www.beloit.edu/~pubaff/mindset/2010.htm, 
that first year students entering college in fall 2006 have never 
known life without cell phones, have always had access to their own 
credit cards, and have always known "Google" as a verb.

How are we in academic libraries addressing the changing 
technological needs and demands of our users?  The Princeton 
University Library will host a symposium that will examine the ways 
in which libraries are (or are not) using new technologies to provide 
services to users.

Some of the technologies to which our users are accustomed include 
text and instant messaging; tagging; RSS feeds; podcasting; blogs 
and/or wikis; other social networks and software (e.g., Facebook, 
MySpace, and Friendster); Google; PDAs; and a host of self-service 
technologies (e.g., self-checkout, RFID, e-commerce, etc.).  This is 
by no means an exhaustive list.

How have libraries incorporated these technologies in providing 
services and/or information to their patrons?  This conference will 
explore ways in which these technologies can and have been 
incorporated in libraries, as well as examining if providing services 
using these methods is merely a fad.

The Princeton University Library invites you to present at the 
symposium on a topic that addresses an issue as described 
above.  This might be the presentation of a research study, a case 
study on how services using these technologies have been implemented 
at your library, or innovative approaches to addressing service 
issues without the use of such technologies

If you are interested in presenting, please email a 100-200 word 
description of your proposed session, or any questions about the 
symposium, to Trevor A. Dawes at 
<mailto:tdawes at Princeton.EDU>tdawes at Princeton.EDU by Friday, 17 
November 2006.  Be sure to include the author name(s), email and 
telephone contact numbers, and the title of the proposed session.  A 
limited number of proposals will be selected for presentation.

Sincerely,Susan Burdick
