ALA Student Chapter at Simmons College

So I've been back from D.C. for two weeks now, and I'm finally getting around to posting notes from some of the meetings and presentations I attended. These are my personal notes; many of the events at ALA are posted in podcast or some other form at the various roundtable or division websites. Many of the Power Points are available as well.

1. Authority Control Meets Faceted Browse (ALCTS)
The presenters here talked about different ways faceted browsing could be layered on top of traditional library catalogs; for example, Endeca at NC State University's libraries, or Flamenco at Berkeley, which is an open-source faceted metadata search. When you search WorldCat, for example, there's that bar on the left that allows you to narrow results by different facets: format, language, location, etc. These facets could be adapted to whatever is useful at your particular library. One presenter talked about extracting terms from the literature of interest - which I think would be an interesting solution for a specialized library.

Charley Pennell from NCSU envisioned three different kinds of searches: the simple search (author, keyword, etc.), simply navigating by facets, and a combination of the two. He discussed the idea of ranking facets: author might be more important in a public library, for instance. He also talked about mining MARC records for some facets; one danger of removing single words and phrases from fields and subfields he pointed out was that context and relationships can be lost; for example, Canada - Relations - United States. Any three of these singly doesn't convey the relationship among them.

2. Ambient Findability: Librarians, Libraries, and the Internet of Things (ALCTS President's Program)
Ah, organizing the Internet. It seems to be a perennial topic. This program broke it down in a couple of ways. It was interesting to see non-librarians as presenters at this and several other programs.

One presenter talked about organizing one's own organizational website - about balancing user goals with organizational objectives. (You want people to find the library programs they want, for example, but you also want to promote certain ones.) Information is better found when there are multiple paths to the same information. His contention was that users should be able to find information without necessarily having to think about what category it might be in. This is sort of an anti-drill-down stance, and it touches on what I hear more and more: that while librarians organize information according to certain principles and categories, people should be able to find information without knowing or caring about the structure behind it.

The real idea of "ambient findability" - being able to find anything at anytime - was acknowledged across the board as being impossible.

3. Time Odyssey: Visions of Reference and User Services (RUSA President's Program)
I have to admit, I didn't have a whole lot of patience for this program. The conceit of the presentations was that it is the year 2017 - how have reference and user services changed? A lot of what was said didn't seem to me to have anything to do with reference, and I thought the whole exercise was a little bit odd. The presenters were:

Genevieve Bell, anthropologist. She posited that the current surge in library use will continue, and that people weary of feeling isolated will come to use the library as a community space. She also thought that, akin to other times when there were large class divides, people will begin amassing their own personal libraries, and that possibly librarians will hire themselves out to organize and provide reference for these private collections.

Lee Rainie, from the Pew Internet Trust. He had this vision of metadata in everything - chairs, books, doorknobs - without mentioning how this glut (even bigger than the current one) would be managed or organized.

Allen Renear, from the University of Illinois. He thinks that in ten years, researchers (especially students) won't be reading articles anymore; they'll just be "bouncing and flicking" across articles and information, using text mining to gather information from the amount that he thinks is surpassing the human capability to read, interpret, and synthesize. This is a frightening thought, and I'm not sure if it's true.

Wendy Schultz, who called herself a "professional futurist." I had to leave early, and I was glad, because she honestly didn't say anything - she just used a lot of buzzwords like "dynamic exchange" and "environmental scanning" without saying anything of substance. She also kept calling Genevieve "Gertrude," which was awfully embarrassing.

Well, I'm leaving DC later today. I have some notes from specific sessions I attended, and when I get home, I'm going to write them up and post them, so people can have a better idea about what actually goes on at all these meetings and presentations. For now, though, while it's still fresh in my mind, I thought I'd post some conference tips/lessons learned from the past few days. Some of these may be very obvious to more savvy people, but they weren't to me, so here they are:

-Don't be afraid to sit in on any open session. I was sort of pushed into sitting in on a literacy committee meeting because I was volunteering, but it's something I might have been intimidated by otherwise, and I learned a lot about literacy projects around the country.
-If you're set on hearing big-name speakers, get there early. I missed out on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Julie Andrews because I got there too late and the fire-code capacity of the auditorium had been reached.
-In that vein: have alternate events in mind that you can go to, if yours is canceled or full (...or not what you thought it was going to be). People leave late and arrive early frequently to events.
-Definitely use the resume review service, and sign up for an appointment early in the conference. I was lucky to get one - and the reviewer was thoughtful and constructive.
-Some of the roundtables and divisions offer a mentor/mentee program. If you're a member, definitely take advantage.
-If you're in a city with public transportation, you don't have to rely solely on the shuttles to and from the hotels (which can take awhile). Get a map of the subway before you go.
-The line at the Internet Cafe was long but not interminable. I brought my laptop, but I sort of wish I hadn't (because it's heavy).

Okay, I will post notes later on. I just want to say thanks here to ALASC for helping me to attend conference; it's been a really good experience.

I was calculating how many days I've been here, and wow - I can't believe it. It's only the second day of the conference proper, but it's my third full day in DC.

The conference is overwhelming, especially the exhibits portion, but I've hit some good events and meetings thus far. I really enjoyed The Hollywood Librarian; it's not just about librarians in film, but about their importance in general to people's lives, and to a democratic society. The writer and director, Ann Seidl, is trying to get it out during Banned Books Week by showing it in libraries; I've gotten on her email list, and I think it might be a promising project for Simmons student groups.

At the OLOS Diversity and Outreach Fair, where I volunteered, there were a lot of really exciting programs highlighted, including Circle of Literacy, a program to support literacy for the incarcerated. The Office of Literacy and Outreach Services is pretty amazing, actually; it's very small, but they coordinate a lot of programs making a lot of local impact.

I went to two presentations today, one on marketing reference services to Generation X and one on the intersection of authority control and faceted browsing in catalogs. Both were standing room only, which frankly surprised me, but there are a lot of people here, and I guess they're all here to try to mine some new ideas in different fields. One thing that's definitely clear is that there are committees, or sub-committees, or discussion groups, for everything. No matter how narrow a field of librarianship you want to go into, I guarantee there's a group about it.

It's also pretty clear that you can get a lot professionally out of conference, or not. There are all these meetings, but there are also lots of product promotions in the exhibits area, and plenty of more "celebrity"-type speakers. I'm not saying I'm doing any of that; I got to see Nancy Pearl speak today, and I'm going to see Julie Andrews tomorrow. But it's a balance to be struck. And it's tiring! Hopefully I'll get another entry in before I leave.

Hello all, it's Liz Galoozis, the Simmons student-to-staff representative at the ALA annual conference in D.C. I've been here since yesterday, and there's not too much to report yet, but I thought I'd better check in before things really get going.

Last night I met all the other student-to-staff-ers; about thirty or so students from different library schools around the country. We got oriented to the overwhelming amount that's going on at the conference - from all the preconference meetings of different divisions and roundtables to Placement Services, where you can get your resume critiqued or even interview for jobs on the spot.

I'll be working for the Office of Literacy and Outreach Services while I'm at the conference; I attend my first meeting this afternoon, of the Committee on Literacy. After that, I'm looking forward to the "world premiere" (I guess I shouldn't put that in quotes; it is) of The Hollywood Librarian, a documentary that looks at representations of librarians in film.

Once the conference really gets going, I'll post some more substantial updates. I only have a disposable camera, so pictures will have to wait until I get back to the GSLIS lab and its scanner.

So as you may or may not be aware, ALASC has our very own wiki, containing handy information about the group, its officers and the myriad upcoming events we're planning, co-sponsoring or attending. Check it out!

Falling under the "attending" category are two biggies: the American Library Association's annual conference in Washington, D.C. (June 23-26) and the Massachusetts Library Association's annual conference in Sturbridge, Mass. (May 2-4)

For general conference information (such as schedule of events, how to register) and logistical information (where to stay, transportation), be sure to check our ALA conference wiki page and MLA conference wiki page. We've also got a discussion board going on the ALA page, where all should feel free to post and respond to information about ride sharing, offering of/looking for places to stay and overall tips and comments about what to do in the D.C. area.

Conferences are a great way to meet other people in the library world, learn about the most up-to-the-minute advances in the field, and maybe even snag a job (or at least establish connections that may lead to eventual job-snagging). Plus, from what I hear, they can be awfully fun. We encourage everyone to attend!

1) So, I enter the exhibition and hear a distinctive voice that I know I’ve heard before from around the corner. Where have I heard that voice before? I turn the corner to look and her face doesn’t seem familiar. Why should it? It’s every grammar geek’s favorite disembodied voice: podcaster Grammer Girl! If you don’t know about Grammar Girl, check her quick and dirty podcasts (they tend to run only about 2 minutes) on all sorts of topics that may help with your writing and also student writing (if you’re in a school library).

2) So after taking pics of G.G. to wow Melissa, I walk down another aisle and someone wants to give me another free book. All right, that’s how this works, but part of the deal is having the author autograph it. Who’s that dude with the book on Vista? David Pogue! Wow, this is a like a who’s who of how Amy is using RSS.

3) Now, you might not be as excited as I am right now but I’m feeling pretty good about these exhibits. Chatting people up, learning tips from Grammar Girl, getting free books, when whose glistening head and Canadian accent are coming from down the aisle? Stephen Abram! He had some interesting things to say about web 2.0 stuff and the OPAC (If you haven’t had a chance to hear him speak, check out a video of him online; he’s really dynamic even if he has an agenda.) And just for fun he showed himself as a Simpson’s character, which you can do too, here.

4) The folks at School Library Journal who are giving away free year-long subscriptions for library students. They gave me tons of fliers to bring back. So if you want a free subscription, email me at amysprung@gmail.com and I can drop the form in your locker/file for you. I think it’s a new promotion for them, so let’s encourage free stuff for students!

5) Gordon from Sesame Street gave us a copy of his autobiography and signed it. A fun fact, and I hope I’ve got this right: According to Stephen Abram, in a study of 1000 autobiographies, 85% mentioned a positive experience with a librarian. He used this to highlight the importance of human interaction in libraries and how service is the really the cornerstone of what we do. It was a nice way of putting things in perspective. Kind of like what my mom was writing about getting a deeper understanding of the reference interview.

Going into the conference I knew it would be pretty safe to say that a big focus of conversations was going to be Web 2.0. Obviously. But the buzzword (killer app?) for the weekend was SecondLife. Librarians are obsessed with SecondLife. I practically couldn’t enter a room without there being a mention of it. While I was at a new members event someone joked to me, “I don’t see this catching on with any young adults or college students I work with; I think it might just be something librarians are really excited about. I bet pretty soon everyone will have moved on and SecondLife will be swarming with lonely librarians.” (I might live to regret having written that in a few years. I can’t help but think of my boyfriend’s undergrad thesis on the Internet in the New Millennium that he wrote in 2000. Edgy for its day.)
But what was particularly interesting to me was the resistance to figuring out what it was all about and trying it out. (And don’t get me wrong; there are some folks who are really paving the way here and getting their hands dirty, otherwise there wouldn’t be libraries in SecondLife for adults and teens.) Sure we can talk about it in meetings and get kinda hushed and think what is the future coming to, but maybe attending some of the multitude of meetings that actually teach you how to use Web 2.0 technologies would be really useful. The number of times I heard SecondSpace or MyFace or FaceSpace mentioned by meeting participants was ridiculous. (I wonder if they know what mashups are and are just trying to take it to the next level?) Sure, mistakes are great for learning, but it’s also clear folks are missing some great learning opportunities if they aren’t attending some demystifying sessions.
It makes me a bit nervous for when I’m out of library school and not getting updates on the latest technology. I’m seeing the value in a professional org like ALA to at least help me target what I need to be learning and where the conversation is. Although, at least according to one ALA presidential platform, lots of people are moving these conversations to informal discussion groups outside of the organization and figuring stuff out that way. I wish there were an easy answer to great continuing professional development. But then again that’ll probably all be different in a few years too. Maybe I’ll get it all via SecondLife.

While not a Simmons GSLIS alum (she went to Rutgers for library school), I thought ya’ll might be interested in a different conference perspective. So, here were my mom’s conference highlights:

Hearing first hand the Newbery winners was so exhilarating I was surprised by my feel good reaction. There are so many facets of our job that are now electronic or web-based or digital, however you want to characterize it, the Newbery is so very special, now more than ever. The book awards coming from a librarian’s love of books, reading and life long learning and library use begins in the children’s room and before that in the home with being read to by care givers. The other people connection related highlights for me were from a reference meeting and the storytelling meeting.
The reference interview discussion that was facilitated by a dual accredited professional psychologist and librarian was truly enlightening. I am of the correct answer school, thinking that if you don’t know, say so and get help elsewhere fast to “satisfy” our customers. WRONG! The “answer” is important, but the human interaction may determine if the person returns to ask again and possibly gain more skills for future successful searches. Walking an information seeker through a possibly humbling experience of admitting they don’t know something but making them feel comfortable, capable and empowered is the challenge. We are making people connections that count more than the answers. Of course the answers are out there, but the questions are harder and more elusive than ever and not necessarily unique.
The other sharing experience of the conference was the storytelling discussion. The room was never so quiet, as when we were waiting for the next victim, I mean volunteer, to tell their tale. Peers are difficult audiences but the tellers were funny, talented, professional, theatrical, and the best treat of any library experience. Exhausted, exhilarated and not an ex-librarian, I think I have quite a few motivated years left to spread the word and the FISH (more on FISH from Amy later).

I landed at Seatac on Friday night and headed straight to the hotel to drop off my stuff, only to promptly leave (around 2 a.m. based on the time zone I was still operating in) and head off to a meet-up group that Linda Braun (I had her for Technology in the School Library at Simmons, which I would highly recommend to anyone interested in working with young adults, including non-School Library Teachers) had organized. I should mention that my mom, who is a school librarian in Harrison, NY, came with me to the conference, which made the experience rather interesting. I’ll elaborate later.

Anyhow, I got to meet some super-active YALSA types and attempted, while a bit bleary-eyed, to articulate the ways in which I was inspired by Linda’s class and what was going through my head as I officially became overwhelmed figuring out where I fit in at the conference. Sara Ryan also gave me a copy of her book Empress of the World, which I’m excited to read during the trip back. I think I set a new record for getting free books within mere minutes of arriving at ALA. I should also mention that I’m wearing a few different hats while I’m here. One is as a Harvard College Library employee. I work in their HR department, so while I’m here I’m trying to get a sense of how recruitment works at ALA. I also got to sit in on an AASL/ACRL committee meeting on info lit, which brings me to my other role: an aspiring school librarian (who is getting increasingly interested in other youth library work outside of the classroom).

Prior to arriving, I had aggressively planned every moment of my time here, primarily using the midwinter wiki, which seemed a wee bit disorganized, especially for librarians. This may have also contributed to my deer-in-the-headlights response. Since I had minimal experience with ALA and conferences, here’s what I didn’t know going into it, but have since figured out based on conversations with all sorts of librarians and library students. Midwinter is where the hard-working types buckle down and get lots of committee work done. If you’re interested in getting involved with a committee or task force this seems to be the place to get a real sense of the work they’re doing, but depending on the group they may or may not want you there. I have yet to figure out how you go about finding an awesome committee to join who wants you. Once you get past that point, figuring out what interests you the most so you’ll want to devote all sorts of time to it is also pretty tough. But doing what mom’s do best, my mom reined me in and said I don’t need to go crazy immediately trying to join everything while still working and being a student. The opportunities will be there. Take a deep breath.

Good advice. I gotta run because I’ve planned out today as well, but I’ll post some highlights of booths/exhibits and meetings soon.
