The President's Program: 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

Location: Ballroom D

Speaker: David Carr

Overview: Librarians love to be connected and hate to be disconnected: we are wired to be wired. We want effective lines of agency between librarians and users; efficient partnerships within and between institutions; most of all, we want limitless information at our fingertips. Useful connections deepen the user and lead toward complexity. But a connected cognitive life has conditions: wholeness, continuity, stability; and the connection must have value to both librarian and user. A connection an inquiry should be logical, timely and clear. But, like most of the world, librarians tend to confound wiring with connection, and mistake connection for communication. What happens when connections are unfriendly, dysfunctional, unimaginative, or hidden? My talk will suggest that electronic records, databases, or links to another collection are not encounters with knowledge, nor moments of change or insight – and perhaps not even connections -- unless human contexts are present.

Collaborating to Connect the State

CMIG-Sponsored Program

Location: Franklin 1

Speakers: William C. Barrow (Cleveland State University); Angela O'Neal (Ohio Historical Society); Jane S. Wildermuth (Wright State University);

Overview: Several statewide programs are under development to improve access to multiple sources of information on Ohio's history and culture. For example, OCLC has formed the Midwest CONTENTdm User Group, formerly an Ohio-centric group, which is examining how other states are using CONTENTdm as a platform for collaborative efforts. CONTENTdm has a metadata harvester called Multi-Site Server and it is being used by the Ohio's Heritage Northeast collaboration of public and academic libraries to provide a single point of searching across all the collections of its partnering institutions in northeast Ohio. The Ohio Historical Society has also acquired CONTENTdm and Multi-Site Server to power the next phase of its Ohio Memory program and the Northeast Ohio Regional Library System has done something similar. Meanwhile, OhioLINK, the federation of academic libraries in Ohio has appointed a standing Digital Resource Management Committee for its Digital Resource Commons, to increase the participation of Ohio’s colleges and universities in resource sharing. This panel presentation will update the ALAO community on these and other current efforts to build an infrastructure for research, teaching, learning, genealogy and general enjoyment.
