Hi Sarah,
A well written post and I totally agree to the point that makerspaces should be priority for all libraries. As said by Brit Morin, makerspace is found in various fields, and library is such a place where information related to everything is found, again ranging from food to crafts to technology! Moreover, with advancement of technology in today’s world library should be the very first one to act like a key information center, or a makerspace itself!
Hi Debbie, your posts are always well managed and goes along with a flow. I too agree with the point that public librarians should take at least some responsibility to educate those who lack of basic literacy. However, in a public library, if the librarian has been working there since ages, and he himself is not aware of such new technologies, how will be able to impart knowledge to other people? Also, some elderly people do not wish to adopt with new technologies, what could be a better solution is such cases?
Cheers!!
SauravHello Peldon,
I am also looking for a partner for both the assignments. Would you like to do it together, I will be available online rather than internal, however, if we need to meet and work together, we can manage some time and work it out. Please let me know your thoughts about it.
Thanks,
SauravHi Shannon,
It is a nice post, the information you provided was structured, and the flow of your writing (presenting things one after another) was good. I was imagining myself being present in the program as I went through your post. It is a well-description of the program you attended! Likewise, “lack of introduction” and “ending the program” has link that directs to a broken link page. Is that a really broken link problem or you were trying to do something else and ended up with something else? (not a big issue, but just letting you know)
Cheers!
Hi Shannon,
Thanks for your query, I couldn’t post the questions I asked because of word limit. However, now I feel I should have had at lease few of them. Anyways, rather than any trading hour questions, or referencing questions, I asked other questions like how often people use this service, who looks after this service, what do people say about this service, and their satisfaction level, and much more questions as such. Despite of questions I asked, which was out of topic for them to answer, but still they replied and gave me information as much as they can. And, that made me feel they were helpful to whatever queries you come up with. Furthermore, yes like you said, it’s difficult to figure out any other/complicated questions to ask with the librarians in chat 🙂

Hello Caitlin,
That time when I had a chat with a librarian I asked them about the service they are doing. It was pretty much not anything related to referencing, but I asked other questions like how often people use this service, who looks after this service, what do people say about this service, and their satisfaction level, and much more questions as such. I found them helpful in a sense that though questions were out of the topic, I suppose usually people don’t chat with librarian to ask such questions which asked, but still they replied and gave me information as much as they can. At the end, they provided me with contact of library manager (I forgot the exact name and position) but, the information I got was enough for me, so I really didn’t bothered to contact the library manager 😀

Hi Robynne,
Thank you for your wonderful comment. I agree Skype would be also a good alternative for face-to-face communication. As it is pretty much the same thing, but in virtual way. Like you said, yeah, we can express our problems in detail if we can communicate face-to-face (either in Skype or in real). However, real face-to-face communication is the best way, being actually present to talk with someone, and having a conversation virtually does have some difference. 🙂
Hi Debbie,
Nice, detailed and a post full of information in it. Also, I agree with the positive sides of virtual referencing. It helps save time and energy, likewise, everything is becoming digitized these days, use of tablets and iPad have made it unnecessary to print out things which is in fact more reliable and portable too.
Cheers!
