Media technologies are both proliferating and converging. Libraries and corporations continue to seek new ways to utilize these technologies in order to extend their presence in both traditional physical and virtual spaces. The workshop will examine how libraries and others are using large screen displays and mobile applications to inform users and extend library services by engaging people where they are @: home, on the go, in the library, or on their phone.
Join us as Professor Peter Ingwersen gives his talk on the Laboratory IR tradition (the Cranfield Framework) in light of the Integrated Cognitive IR Research Framework. These frameworks are analyzed in relation to several interactive IR models. The Integrated Cognitive IR Framework will be discussed, in particular with respect to central variables and functionality.
Each year, the Los Angeles Chapter of American Society for Information Science and Technology presents its Contributions to Information Science Award (CISTA) to one or more individuals who have made significant contribution to the field. Recipients are those individuals who are recognized by their colleagues as exceptional leaders whose dedication, commitment and vision inspire others, or whose singular contribution to the field of information science has been particularly significant.
What does it mean to collaborate in today's Web 2.0 world? A panel of speakers pooled from LACASIST and the LA-UX (User Experience Meetup Group) will give a breakdown for best practices on keeping your head above water on collaborative documentation and team productivity. They will talk about collaboration tools and tips for better communication, every day productivity, and shared documentation. Some topics covered include using collaborative document sharing (Google Apps), online project management tools (Basecamp, etc.).
Join us for a fun and festive evening at the Skirball Center on December 4th at 5:30 pm. LACASIST & SLA-SCC are proud to present the first joint holiday meeting of special librarians in southern CA. There will be a lot of delicious food, fun games and prizes, white elephant gift exchange and plenty of networking with librarians, infopros, library support staff, students and vendors.
