for thinking about____.

4. Use Numrange for numeric range searching (first
number…second number).
Do a price range search by adding the $ sign in a
range search (you can only use dollars).
Limit by title (intitle:word for a single word).
Limit by title: all words (“allintitle: word1 word2

spaces suited to portable personal technology and replacing print
holdings with electronic collections.
◦ The session begins with a case study of replacing annually
purchased reference books with electronic books, includes an
analysis of the economics, review of availability of materials, and a
brief look at the difficulties of creating specialized ebooks to fill in
gaps.
◦ The CSU group shared the results of a survey to assess the use of
e-reader and tablet devices, their adoption by students and
faculty, as well as how frequently and in what environments they
are being used for conducting research and completing course
assignments.
◦ McKiernan looks at the current landscape for digital textbooks;
the vendors, platforms and initiatives happening in this space;
funding options; predictions; and more!

Digital Revolution 1: Broadband
◦ 66% of American adults accessing the Internet from
home do so using broadband connections
Digital Revolution 2: Mobile
◦ 89% of adults have a cell phone, and many of those have
Smartphones.
Digital Revolution 3: Social Networking
◦ 59% of all adults use social networking systems.
More than one-third of adults own at least 1 e-
reading device, which is changing the way they
acquire and think about knowledge.

building
◦ Touch technology
◦ permit the incorporation of student-generated content.
◦ completely wireless-enabled, and all cables, etc. run under
raised flooring which provides an agile infrastructure.
◦ The furniture is mobile technology-friendly.
◦ There is an electrical outlet for every seat in the building.
◦ All signage is digital.
◦ Collaborative spaces are available and can be reserved by
digital touch screens in the hallway.

subjects in that stack.
13. Speakers – Steve Coffman, LSSI & Roy
Tennant, OCLC
◦ Ebooks:
- the real problem – google and amazon have larger
collections than we do
- there is a huge amount of free material, and the
average price is $7 so it’s cheap
- amazon, audible, and Netflix are capable of
setting up library-like lending services

Notas del editor
De Boer and de Heer talked about a project in the Netherlands they’ve been working on. The StichtingBibliothekenMidden-Frysln and Extelligentsia developed a SocialMediaCaster interactive touchscreen kiosk with an RFID reader etc. that connects what’s in the library with students’ social content and social lives online. Students can bring any library item up to the kiosk and it’s scanned and then other relevant resources, including social media content, comes up on the screen. This is greatly helpful for research projects for the students. They connected to the school’s curriculum and took assessment criteria into account for media literacy. The SMC system connects catalogs of the local school library with other library catalogs nearby. SMC also displays social media content. They’re connected to Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube, and many others. Version 2 has a new data source adaptor to let them connect to the National Library in the Netherlands. This enables searches through all the catalogs through all the libraries in the Netherlands. They also developed ExplorApp, a mobile version. They just launched The Library of Things which they’re looking for other libraries to collaborate on. The ExplorApp demonstrates this concept – it’s meant for use both inside and outside the library.Donahue talked about work that he’s done at Montana State University. There is a diagram of the library building, with stacks of the libraries and read-outs of stacks and the subjects contained within. You can mouse on different floors, and find the whole map of the library’s contents. You can also search for a particular subject, and the library map will light up the stacks with the relevant books. He used Flash, InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator. He animated each stack as a button with basic mouse-over functionality (Sarah’s note: Flash…….noooooooooo!). This helps you for library space planning and redesign, training new staff and student workers, familiarizing students with the extent of the library’s collections. They can also show off “the library” virtually when at outreach events. One of the issues is that collections shift and books move, and as that happens this would have to be redone. They’ve also added QR codes to the endcaps of all of the stacks that gives a specific even further break-down of subjects in that stack.
