just good history on the social development on the web

Here's a really good presentation on webs 1-3 by Sabin Buraga:

Why Web 3.0?

View more documents from Sabin Buraga.

library 4.0 is

By and by, I now venture this:

Library 4.0 is when libraries don't truck in books anymore, as we know books now. Library 4.0 is the library after the widespread integration of smart objects and the "Internet of Things". Post semantic web. When atoms start schlepping usable bits.

Library 5.0 is a nonsensical term at present. So you can talk about previous library 'versions' up to 4.0 rationally, but beyond that we start to slip into the ontological bleed of the techno-social singularity.

Back to work.

web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0; presentations too

This is neat and tidy (though I don't agree with it completely):

(via: http://www.labnol.org/internet/web-3-concepts-explained/8908/)

Lots of other stuff there on 3.0 -- some slideshares and discussion.

In the above, we've got widget hosting services (iGoogle, etc.) as part of a 3.0 scheme... these belong still in Web 2.0. Mid-to-late 2.0 developments. Don't nobody jump too quick. For the barest beginnings of yr semantic Web world, look to WolframAlpha. But that's the thing with all this -- we can't, on our blogs or in our magazine articles or books, decree what Web 3.0 is or will be or ought to be. These 'versions' of the Web get defined slowly, building up like coral. Folks do stuff, that stuff is cool, that cool stuff gets popular, the way folks use the Web changes, then we all look back and say "wow -- that's Web x.x"!

bldg 3 pew

Databytes has:

A recent Pew study shows how Americans are currently using their mobile technologies, the study shows people are using these technologies and gadgets to:

• collaborate with others and share content
• connect with others and share content
• for entertainment purposes
• are dedicated wireless access users and like the convenience of information as you go
  
• perform lite informational search requests

Right now, according to this study, 42 % of the population has not fully embraced this technology, so the question we should all be asking ourselves is "How are we servicing the 58% percent that are?"

do believe I quote from that same study in the book... very good stuff from Pew. It sets us up to re-imagine libraries post-2.0, after communities-of-interest agreen on folksonomic standards, after everybody's got their social media map well worked out...

attributes of librarian 3.0

Allan Cho has observed (07) that we need this here set of attributes to be "librarians 3.0":

(1) Institutionalization – Creating the right culture. Flexible hours and attractive salaries, without micromanagement while encouraging working in teams and individual praise and recognition for their accomplishment. The key to retaining these employees is the quality of relationships they have with their managers - Gen X and Y's see their work demand a better balance in their work and personal lives.

(2) Innovation – Doing things differently – Innovative services will mean taking-the-service to the clients. An example would be “Librarian With a Latte” program from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

(3) Imagination – Changing the rules. Collaboration with a wide range of information providers, where rethinking of the catalogue means it is no longer relevant in its current form – the catalogue should be a “one-stop shop” for searching resources, providing access beyond local collections, and to different types of resources in a seamless way

(4) Ideation – A Culture that encourages ideas – In creating the appropriate working environment, it is necessary to be also supported by professional associations.

(5) Inspiration – Doing things differently – As competition increases for the future workforce, ongoing professional development as opposed to formal training in a library school is necessary. Already free web-based instruction similar to the popular Five Weeks to a Social Library are already popping up.

So what does this all mean? It might sound like an eye-rolling cliche: information professionals of the future will have to be prepared for lifelong learning. This is a challenge for many professionals, who argue that their plates are already full to the brim. What to do? The authors leave us with a daunting reference from Charles Darwin:

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change

Building Library 3.0: Issues in Creating a Culture of Participation

Woody Evans, Tarrant County College, USA

- a primer for Library 2.0, and concrete steps available to libraries seeking to catch up to their web-savvy patrons
- detailed and critical examinations of social networking sites, and their potential for libraries outreach
- studies the actions librarians can take right now to prepare for the ‘border-bleeding’ between physical and virtual collections
- prepares libraries to use Web 2.0 tools as an incubator for increasing library relevancy in a Web 3.0 world

This book is written for information professionals and librarians trying to implement and manage Web 2.0 in their physical and online collections. Paying careful attention to the implementation of social web applications, mobile computing, and RFID and QR Code technology, the book details both how to make these technologies work for libraries and also explores why libraries must gain ground in the important new territories of Web 2.0. The changing relationships between information seekers, the information being sought, and the professional information gatekeepers is of great importance in this change, and this book explains not just the use of the technology to reach information seeking communities, but also the profound ways in which such relationships will change the nature of librarianship.

semantic web librarian jobs

"Semantic web" is peeking its head out in library job descriptions now... @ York University:

A strong commitment to research in any relevant area of e-librarianship such as: e-learning, digital collections, collaborative web spaces, social software, interactive and integrative online services, semantic web or cyberinfrastructure is required. The Chair must have demonstrated success in directing and conducting research or a large project. As a member of the YUL complement, the successful candidate will contribute in an area of the libraries suited to the candidate’s area of expertise.

The three-point-oh thing is coming (though I think it won't have that name when it gets here good).

wearable web 3 & 4

Following on from last post's comment on gendering of the Web... it occurs to me that the Web won't be or can't be successfully gendered by in the way I suggested. Just because feminine terms out-rank masculine terms, etc. Bibliometric brute force won't make the Web pink nor blue. Many reasons for this (maybe more on the subject later), but the main idea is that since we can't 'gender' the Web, it remains for the Web to increasingly disrupt basic identity categories of us... that is, the tabs that we use to build up identity (gender, race or ethnicity, languages, others) will be subverted and (forgive the term) fractalized by the Web's presence in/on our bodies. There's something important here about the body really becoming a proving ground now for Haraway's feminist cyborgs, but I haven't thought it through yet...

wearable web 2

Some not yet fully connected thoughts about this:

Localization of the Web in the body is... well, it mashes up 'global and local' (in the Zygmunt Bauman type sense, and in just the general 'common sense' sense). Localizes the whole. Gives the whole a seat at the head of the table in your own head.

The app / invention in this video flips the QR Code vector for virtual/physical book hybrids I promote in the book and more or less obviates any previous "flat" phone apps like Kaywa and Semacode... Or does it just increase the reach and use of QR Code? Not sure yet.

If the Web is becoming part of the body, might we have to begin asking things about it that help to code or identify it in terms of other body categories.... thinking of gender, health, ethnicity... Can we begin to talk of a "feminine" or "masculine" web if we look at the total of all the terms and descriptors for all "objects" online and say that on balance there is more of shift toward this or that gender? Can we talk about the web as medicine, if the info we access on/in/through the body gets us the info that helps to treat illness?

More laters.

The brainchild of Pranav Mistry, a Research Assistant and PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, the Sixth Sense is a wearable device that will enable us to gain seamless access to information…wherever we are! All I can say after watching the video is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant AND I want one! You’ve really got to see it to believe it, so rather than me attempting to communicate the brilliance of theSixth Sense, watch the video!

As a librarian and book lover I’m particularly excited about the impact the Sixth Sense will have on how we select, evaluate and tag books (5.53 mins into the film).
