Online Social Networks 2005 - Week 2

Marydee @ 1:38 pm

This is the second day of OSN05 and the beginning of the session I was interested in the most. It’s over in the Individuals track and it’s called “The Library Blogosphere: Toward a Working Taxonomy.” The session began with a presentation by Michael Stephens and Aaron Schmidt, available both as HTML and PDF. There are 53 slides plus a handout and (hey, they are librarians, after all) a bibliography. The presentation will look familiar to anyone who’s seen these guys in person speaking at conferences, but there’s always some new twist. For this online conference, the new stuff is probably more in the conversations that follow presentations. The presentations merely serve to jumpstart the conversation. So far, the library blogosphere track has discussed conference blogging, how libraries use blogs and social software to “engage their community,” instant messaging, and subject guide categories. I’m sure there will be more to come.
