BYO coffee to the second Blue Sky Forum! The forum will be held in Central Library level 4 training room this Thursday 14th August at 10:15-11:30 – please RSVP to Maureen Ruki if you’re coming.
This session will be a smorgasbord of topics – we’ll listen to a 3-4 minute on each one, and then discuss what we’ve heard in groups. Part of the goal of this session is to get ideas about what we want future Blue Sky sessions to be about.
Topics include:
- Social discovery and books (eg “What I’m reading” on Facebook)
- Automated storage and retrieval systems in libraries
- Computer-assisted library instruction
- Te Ara Tika – Maori Subject Headings (pdf at Q:\Blue sky forums\Te_Ara_Tika_Guiding_Words.pdf)
- Ariana’s visit to Basque libraries in Spain
- Is Google making us stupid? and Is the web narrowing scientists’ expertise?
- Video tours/tutorials
- Google Books vs Library catalogue
(Links above are provided for interest – there won’t be a quiz. 🙂

I would really like to be there but alas I have a class at this time. I would like to show a blue skies vision of how to implement LibGuides ! Alison
🙁
I’ll throw LibGuides in the mix of things we might want to talk about in future Blue Skies sessions.
