Paul Reynolds - New Zealand - Presentation

Happened to find full program presentations at the State Library of Queensland.  Amazing the lectures are recorded for the purpose of providing access to others.  The quality is not always the best for the presentation.  Still, Paul Reynolds talk was motivating and especially enjoyable to hear his brogue and stories.  He says the best web sites are those which provide a successful visit.  The audience and the user are now co-creators for content on Web 2.0 sites. Don't kill the voice!  - a reference for libraries not to become over engaged with planning and tactical communications - get out there and be yourself, communicate what interests you!  Today, our ideas are lagging behind the technology.  Our job is just to understand it.  We need to permit 'swearing in church' events, like opening tagging and folksonomies to the public catalog.  Review your knowledge assets!  You have sources plus tools plus people which all go well as a function of the sum for web interaction.  Paul Reynolds also mentioned the work done by Paul Anderson of JISC on Web 2.0.  Paul Reynolds also mentioned the application of studying the Kinella Triangle (sp?) in which the elements previousl mentioned [people, sources, tools] and just look at the center of this triangle to see what is happening.  People do surprising things.  A library provides and RSS feed to its catalog which allows one patron to actually post the books they have checked out of the library.  The library goes to great lengths to protect individual privacy but opened the RSS feeds to see what people do with the tools and the sources.  See - http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/find/webcasts/all?SQ_DESIGN_NAME=printer_friendly for all the programs.  Paul Reynolds program is titled Digital strategy for libraries in the 21st century
