Archived Webinar: Your Library at Webscale

Your library at Webscale: How radical collaboration is redefining library management services

Sponsored by: OCLC and Library Journal.  Aired February 21, 2012.

Archive Link

The library community has indicated that traditional management systems lack the flexibility and connectivity to meet the changing needs of their users. And while demand for library services has never been higher, new collaborative and innovative solutions are needed now more than ever.

As the first cooperative management services for libraries, OCLC WorldShare™ Management Services provide all the applications for cataloging, acquisitions, license management and circulation, and a next-gen discovery experience for library users. This newly architected and streamlined approach frees resources to focus on higher priority projects. WorldShare Management Services are built on the new OCLC WorldShare™ Platform—the vehicle for big library collaboration.

Join Marshall Breeding, Vanderbilt University Libraries; Gregg A. Silvis, University of Delaware Libraries; and Andrew K. Pace, OCLC, as they share perspectives on the current and future state of library management services.

Archives: Book Repair and OCLC Resource Sharing

ALCTS would like to apologize to you if you were among the many that were unable to watch the live presentation of the “Book Repair Basics for Libraries” webinar presented earlier today. We were using a different webinar software for this event because of the need to share video. We were unaware of the access problems we would experience. The system locked up on us early in the registration process due to the large number of people that tried to access the webinar at the same time. Only 100 people were able to access the webinar, instead of the 500 that we were told could get in. Again, we do apologize for the technical problems you might have experienced.

The quality of the presentation was wonderful and we hope you will take the time to watch the recording, view the presentation file that has many useful links, and complete the evaluation form. All of this information can be found on the ALCTS web site at http://ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/pres/091411.cfm

Currently the archive file is only available for .flv players such as Adobe Media Player. If you are unable to open the file, please try back in the next few days as ALCTS staff are working to make additional formats available.

A recording of the August 25 webinar, “What’s new with OCLC Resource Sharing Services,” is now available on the OCLC web site.

This webinar provides an overview of the following enhancements:

• New Lender String report. This report provides details about your library's interactions with specific lenders up to one year in the past.
• Custom Holdings symbol searcher. A new way to quickly identify which Custom Holdings groups contain a specific symbol (up to 10 symbols), so you can modify your custom holdings groups as needed when changes occur.
• New ILL work form fields to support article sharing. These fields provide the PubMed number (PMID) and the Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
• Email from anywhere. Allows your staff to send an email to another library from anywhere in an interlibrary loan workform.
• Improvements to Not Received feature. Now libraries can alert the lender that an item as not been received at any time after the lender updates the request to SHIPPED.

As more library patrons are obtaining eReaders, many libraries have questions about why some of the devices work with our services and some don't, and why the books won't work on the different devices.

Using Your Voice for Impact in Online Meetings

A new 1080 Group survey reveals that "the quality of the presenter's voice and delivery" fundamentally affects the success of a webinar.  The good news?

Can't Watch a Webinar Live?

Number one comment by far of this blog...I am sometimes/usually/never able to watch the webinars live.

My response. Remember that many webinar providers are generous and will allow access to the recorded event...but you must register.

As an example, see this note from the provider of the School Library Journal webinar below:

"If you are not able to make the live webcast of Nonfiction Book Buzz, register now and you will get an email reminder from School Library Journal when the webcast is archived and available for on-demand viewing at your convenience."

The Art of Suggesting Books

How do you know when Baldacci is a better match for a Grisham legal-thriller reader than Turow? The answer is appeal. Readers’ advisory pioneer Joyce Saricks created an appeal vocabulary to help her and her staff find the best books to suggest to the readers at the Downers Grove (IL) Public Library. Learn how you can use storyline, pacing, characterization, frame/setting, style/language and mood/tone to find the books that are just right for your readers.

Fiction Librarian Jen Baker will discuss how she uses appeal in her work with readers everyday at the Seattle Public Library and Victoria Caplinger from NoveList will demonstrate how NoveList is bringing appeal terms to the profession’s most used readers’ advisory resource.

Victoria Caplinger, an adult fiction cataloger at NoveList, leads the team of library professionals who are adding appeal terms to the NoveList database.

Joyce Saricks is the author of several books on readers’ advisory including The Readers’ Advisory Guide to Genre Fiction (ALA, 2009). She is a nationally recognized teacher and consultant on readers’ advisory topics and a recipient of the Allie Beth Martin Award from the Public Library Association.

Moderator: Duncan Smith, NoveList creator and co-founder, received the Margaret Monroe Award for Library Adult Services from RUSA for his work on NoveList and research in the area of readers and reading. His latest article “Your Brain on Fiction,” appeared in Reference and User Services Quarterly (Fall 2009).
