- Why Yes - Teach information literacy - Enable life-long learning at “the people’s university” - Offer workshops and lectures on skills and tools - Increase awareness of and access to our resources - Help patrons navigate their world, online and off Why No - Scalability - Unpredictability & diversity - Accountability
- free, ongoing online learning community || new tool or technology each week || rolling start & no “finish” || online interaction || possible social events and in-person trainings
- Qualitative data - periodic surveys and feedback forms, both on paper and online Real-world statistics – door counts, reference questions & calls, attendance at events Anecdotal information - email, comments, Twitter mentions, Facebook status updates and other social media sources
- website views, time on site, referrals, site search terms
- page followers, “likes,” demographic information, interactions
- followers, retweets, mentions and hashtags
- Sentiment - language
- This is what I thought my program was going to look and feel like. All 2000 horsepower throttled straight ahead
- By hitching up to the laptop training program, this is what it looked like. My newer program attached to an older mode of training. Oy.
- Need for community – not just alone together online
- Illustrates the lack of Google Analytics, which illustrates the networked blog issue
- Learning for Life Online has the potential to provide a needed service to users of the Boston Public Library. LLO complements and extends initiatives such as the Public Computing Centers, the Strategic Planning (BPL Compass), BPL’s social media presences, the rollout of the public catalog and the increased visibility of our online collections. It is a low-impact and potentially high-profile way to showcase the BPL’s commitment to 21 st century technologies, and could be a focus for collaborations with other city and neighborhood organizations such as senior centers and afterschool programs.
