Using Wikipedia to Extend Digital Collections

Category: Clippings

From Current Cites (May 2007):

Lally, Ann M., and Carolyn E. Dunford. “Using Wikipedia to Extend Digital Collections” D-Lib Magazine 13(5/6)(May/June 2007). - An example of a library “getting in the flow,” this article documents the University of Washington Libraries’ effort to put their digital collections where their users will see them–in Wikipedia. The result was so successful in driving more users to their collections that they “now consider Wikipedia an essential tool for getting our digital collections out to our users at the point of their information need.” It’s a nice way to strengthen Wikipedia too. The article also contains some useful tips on creating articles and cross-references within Wikipedia, monitoring for changes and vandalism, and communicating with other Wikipedia users. - BR

The Four Habits of Highly Effective Librarians

Category: Clippings

From “The Four Habits of Highly Effective Librarians” by Todd Gilman (Chronicle of Higher Education, 23 May 2007):

In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R. Covey argues that the most effective are those who have moved beyond both independence and dependence to master the art of interdependence — of working as members of a team, of knowing when two or more heads are better than one. In the spirit of Covey, then, I would like to offer my list of four traits that would not only make librarians more effective, but happier and more productive, too.
