This blog is a space for all Library Camp OZ 2012 participants to post their comments, notes, observations and reflections. We hope to create a collective record of the day and then continue the discussion online afterwards. Not sure what to post? Here are a few ideas:
- What did you learn at library camp?
- Which discussion did you find most interesting?
- Is there a topic you plan to research further or follow up?
Please be a responsible library camper and keep your posts respectful and clean!

Lots of ideas flying in the Smartphone brainstorm -
ReplyDelete* co-creation - book reviews and tagging through the SmartPhone
* an Android app which can scan a barcode in the bookshop and link to the library entry {actual example}s to ma
* ... and maybe - extend this idea to allow lookup, hold and or purchase request of the item scanned
* a Jukebox usable in conjunction with library resources
* renewals and holds with searching.
* about a 1/3 present had Smartphone apps for their library, mostly vendor provided. About 1/3 also had websites that were mobile friendly
* geo-encode call numbers so that the Smartphone can "take you to the shelf"
* bookings of library resources
* show and allow creation of favourite lists, bestsellers, course lists, etc with direct touch linking to the library.
* federated searching - a search searches (eg) both the catalogue, the digital library, Google books, Wikipedia.
Loved libcampoz12 - I was amazed how such a rich programme materialised with great ideas and contributions.
