- Focus Groups: Gathering group gold
- I just finished one of SirsiDynix’ free webinars — what a great experience! Focus Groups: Perceptions for Planning is really about when to consider using focus groups - when not to - and how.

We will participate in a two and a half hour training session that will cover enough information to get us familiar with this new software.

- Facebook announces location features
- Facebook has announced that next month it will be launching location-based services. This is likely in response to the very popular location-based services Gowalla and Foursquare (which I have some really weird ideas about for libraries). Location-based features connect the virtual with the physical, through people’s mobile devices. For instance, letting you know who else [...] [?]

- Merging your stats from your reference desk and document delivery service
- I’ve been working lately on testing out the new faculty services software created for libraries by Michigan State University. Although not exactly ground-breaking, the software package, released as open source, aims to create a package that manages the document delivery, research, and instruction requests from faculty. Much like a ticket system used by [...]

- The Economics of Newspapers
- Yesterday Hal Varian, Google’s chief economist, gave a presentation on the changing economics of the newspaper industry. He made a lovely show using graphics of the changing dynamics of their revenue model and changing user behaviours. Some blame Google but I think that this graphic says a lot about the impact of Google: Google’s Chief [...] [?]
