I’m not sure why I didn’t mention this earlier (probably out of sheer embarassment – I hate<\/em> my voice), but I recorded my first podcast<\/a> last week. Jenny Levine and Michael Stephens asked me to do a podcast on Librarian 2.0 for their L2 Bootcamp.<\/a> I must say that I was a little surprised to be asked, considering my views on Library 2.0, but I think they were looking for the perspective of someone who is really ensconsed in the day-to-day tasks of a frontline librarian at a pretty average library and thinks about social software from a practical perspective. And I gave them my 2 cents on what I think is important to keep in mind when providing library services in the 21st century. In the podcast<\/a>, I offer and expand upon five tips for being a successful tech savvy, user-centered, 2.0 librarian in the 21st century:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Embrace change<\/li>\n
  2. Question everything<\/li>\n
  3. Really figure out what your patrons need and want<\/li>\n
  4. Play with technology<\/li>\n
  5. Don’t buy into technolust<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to my podcast, there’s a real treasure trove of audio content<\/a> from some really cool librarians (and more to come I’m sure). There are currently podcasts by Jeff Trzeciak<\/a>, Brian Matthews<\/a>, Chris Harris<\/a> and Michael Casey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    If you’re interested in podcasting, don’t miss Greg Schwartz’s<\/a> upcoming SirsiDynix Institute webinars<\/a> on podcasting this month. I’m especially excited about the the one for content producers<\/a> — now that I’m a world-class podcaster, I need to “hone my craft.” \ud83d\ude09 Just kidding. I seriously cannot hear the phrase “hone my craft” without gagging. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
