Library Thing
  • Technology should not be the driver in Collection Development
  • Regardless, many social software tools can be incorporated into Col Dev
  • Collateral goal: Become social software comfortable

  • Philosophy: ollaborative collection development with faculty at Boise State
  • Doing CD the old-fashioned way--sending Choice slips, Blackwell's forms, catalogs, book reviews off to faculty in print format (works the best for us)

  • Old method: keeping track of everything sent off to departments with Excel spreadsheet
  • Now, using Library Thing
  • Benefits: easy, fun, and can use Library Thing to add tags, ratings, reviews (I add collection area and priority codes, too.)
  • Joined "Librarians who Library Thing"--hope to pick their collection brains to use them as another collection tool
  • Can export data into Excel, the preferred format for many library staff
  • Can make book lists for special projects like collection development grants
  • Can create themed lists for our library's monthly book displays

Library page made for Dr. Cheryl Jorcyk. The URL is: http://library.boisestate.edu/CollDev/facultypage.htm (see below)
  • Trying to serve faculty with grant writing and research duties only
  • Bringing the Library to them
  • Jorcyk doesn't even go to the Library page to access her personalized webpage
  • Webpage is customized because Jorcyk helped create it
  • Combining Web 1.0 and 2.0 technologies
  • Links to databases, journals, our Library, ILL, and the library liaison (1.0)
  • Alert search delivered dynamically via the mini news reader, Grazr, embedded in window in the middle of the page (2.0)
