  1. Emerging Technologies in the Library ‘Toys’? Or ‘Potent Tools for Student Engagement’? Aldrich & Colegrove, August 12, 2011 University Libraries University of Nevada, Reno

  2. 21st Century Literacies • Basic Language Literacy • Visual Literacy • Historical Literacy • Cultural Literacy • Information Literacy • Political Literacy and News Media Literacy • Scientific Literacy • Mathematical Literacy Selected literacies from “Teacher Resources Overview”, retrieved from http://www.noodletools.com/debbie/

  3. Traditional Library Supported: • Basic Language Literacy • Cultural Literacy • Information Literacy • News Media Literacy

  4. New Directions: • We’re talking about change here • So let’s try something new (to me)

  5. Where we’re going:(TodColegrove, Ph.D., MSLIS dstl@unr.edu, @pcolegrove) Text from proposal: “Actively redefining the library from a quiet warehouse into a lively place of learning, technological engagement, and knowledge production, the emerging technologies working group of the library is leveraging in-person connections with students and faculty to build vibrant collaborative communities around a deliberately expanded conception of the library collection.” In other words…

  6. “Be where the conversation is.”1 1 Lankes, R. D., Silverstein, J., Nicholson, S. & Marshall, T. (2007) “Participatory Networks: the library as conversation.” Retrieved from http://informationr.net/ir/12-4/colis05.html Retrieved from http://www.flickr.com/photos/10557450@N04/5595378373/ “My Very Own Copy of The Atlas of New Librarianship by Dr. R. David Lankes! my section I wrote begins on page 369 :-)” Retrieved from http://www.flickr.com/photos/thenerdsangle/200807167/lightbox/ “School of Athens An awesome painting by Raphael. It depicts a bunch of ancient philosophers (Plato, Socrates, etc), but he used Renaissance artists as models for the faces.”

  7. What exactly is “the collection”? Artist's impression of a manuscript storage room in the ancient Library of Alexandria. Source: Carl Sagan's Cosmos television program (1980).

  9. Where’s the conversation? Retrieved from http://www.flickr.com/photos/brewbooks/259408258/sizes/l/in/photostream/

  10. What is “technology” anyway? “The word technelogos is nominally Greek. When the ancient Greeks used the word techne, it meant something like art, skill, craft, or even craftiness… it was in Aristotle’s treatise Rhetoric that the word techne was first joined to logos (meaning word or speech or literacy) to yield the single term technelogos.” Itself a technology:

  11. Even Displays!“Little Boy – the device” Inspired by the movie Dr. Strangelove… That’s a conversation starter. An electric vehicle built for the Burning Man festival…

  12. Serious engagement… From left to right: Head of Library’s Technical Services, PaoshanYue. Associate Dean of the College of Science, Gina Tempel. Regent’s Professor Richard Schultz. Head of DeLaMare Science & Engineering Library, TodColegrove. The Creator of “the device”, Bill Brinsmead…

  13. “21-st Century Literacies”? Link to clip on vimeo: http://bit.ly/msu-clip1 This clip was shot, edited and produced using equipment, software, and literaciessupported every day @One. The number of posters printed has more than doubled – every year for each of the past five years.

  14. “21-st Century Literacies”? A recent FaceBook post by one of the student communities that calls @One “home”: ) (The University Computer Gaming Club meets every Thursday night for a 6-hour gaming event: “fragfest”)

  15. The Microsoft Surface:(a.k.a. “the giant iPod thingy”) Retrieved from: http://www.flickr.com/photos/007kn/3878378782/ Clip on YouTube: http://bit.ly/msu-clip0 The Anatomy application – developed in house to leverage the Surface as a learning tool – has been in daily use by students for several years now…

  16. Hands-on with tablet computers and eReader devices:(currently: iPad, Nook Color, Sony PanDigital Touch, Kindle 2, iPod Touch) Clip on Vimeo: http://bit.ly/msu-clip3 Over a three-day period, 1 out of 37 through the gate went “hands-on” with at least one of the devices.

  17. Kinect Xbox Sensor:(now with an official software development kit!) Clip on Vimeo: http://bit.ly/msu-clip4 Student developing with the sensor just last week…

  18. Kinect Development: Clip on Vimeo: http://bit.ly/msu-clip5 A student work in progress… interrupted to demo multiple modes working to date!

  19. Wireless Remote-Control Drone Quadricopter (with an API!): Unsolicited FB post By a student:

  20. One of Two CSE Senior Projects…(developed in the library, in conjunction with library faculty!) Clip on YouTube: http://bit.ly/msu-clip6 The “Drone Object Tracking System” – a robot controlled quadricopter, that tracks and autonomously follows…

  21. LEGO MindStorms Robotics kits: “Toy”? Or “Serious tool for engagement”? Clip on YouTube: http://bit.ly/msu-clip7 They’re in the collection…

  22. In the hands of a couple of “kids”: Required skills: Time-lapse photography. Video assembly, editing Audio curation, integration. Robot design & assembly. Programming. Creativity. Information & media literacy. Clip on Vimeo: http://bit.ly/msu-clip8
