Demetri   Kyriakis Brandeis University-LTS-Research and Instruction Services Presentation November 30, 2006
A little about me…
Innovation and libraries: Adapt or be irrelevant?
For example…
The Haskell Free Library and Opera House:  the front door is in Derby Line, Vermont, the back door is in Rock Island, Quebec.
Why I love libraries…
Public libraries in the United States are THE most democratic and uniquely American of all our institutions.
“ Technolust – an irrational love for new technology combined with unrealistic expectations for the solution it brings.” Technoplans vs. Technolust by Michael Stevens Library Journal,  November 1, 2004
That being said…my picks! Camtasia Studio Wiki Podcasting Tablet PCs
Camtasia Studio Best example of it’s use: The Horn Library at Babson College. http://www3.babson.edu/library/research/quicktutorials.cfm
Wiki – Hawaiian word for “fast” Collaborative authoring is it’s purpose.
For example… http://cil2006.pbwiki.com/
Podcasting Definition from the New Oxford American Dictionary: "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player".  More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting
Tablet PCs Best use: http://www.infotoday.com/cil2004/presentations/ Friday, March 12th • Track B — Web Tools & Practices  Session B304: Tablet PCs at the Reference Desk 3:15 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. David Bennett, Systems Librarian Donald M. Luisi, Public Services Librarian Jackie Corinth,  Robert Morris University Library
As librarians and instructional technologists, we must: Do the unexpected Act on crazy ideas Trial and error If technology serves no goal,  then it serves no purpose
Relevance to our community is to give them what they want, how they want it.  As librarians, we may deem their behavior as “inappropriate”.
I believe that libraries and technology are a natural fit together.
Thank you!
