      <title>You Are the Future of Libraries: No Pressure</title>
      <link>http://quartz.syr.edu/rdlankes/pod/2008/UMD.mp3</link>
      <description><![CDATA[If libraries are obsolete in 10 years, it’s your fault. It’s my fault too. As Alan Kay once said “the best way to predict the future is to invent it.” So since we are the people ultimately responsible for creating the future, we are the future of the library. Assume for a moment “they” are right … you know, them. The ones who say that the Internet/ Mass Digitalization /Search Engines/ Wikipedia/Document Right Management/ Whatever is going to put libraries out of business. Assume that the stacks are bare, the coffee bars are empty, and the ivy is left to run riot over the columns. Is there still a library? If that strikes you as an odd question, let me ask you another one. Is the future of the library a question of stacks, coffee bars or ivy?]]></description>

      <title>Systems, Conversations and Participation</title>
      <link>http://quartz.syr.edu/rdlankes/pod/sf.mp3</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Innovative Interface's Academic Library Director's Conference, Berkeley, CA.

Abstract: Social is the rage across the Internet. Social bookmarking, social tagging, social networks. But what is social and why does it matter? Can we just make something, like a library social? How can concepts such as community conversations clarify the mission of the library and help direct us in how we build systems for today and tomorrow? David's presentation will explore aspects of social computing and present underlying concepts of, what he terms, "participatory librarianship". He will seek to go beyond today's Web 2.0 buzz words and explore ways that today's librarian can be effective and necessary in today's "social" world.]]></description>

      <title>&quot;Participatory Networks: The Library as Conversation&quot; Amigos Member Meeting, Dallas, TX</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Please note I'm trying a new way of making the podcasts (using my iPod and a microphone) for better sound quality. Hope it makes a difference.

Thoughts on how libraries facilitate conversations. The idea is based on a simple theory: Knowledge is created through conversation; libraries are in the knowledge business; therefore, libraries are in the conversation business. Though libraries serve a vital role as community memory keeper, they often fall short of the ideal. Lankes will explain how by embracing the participatory online technologies from Web 2.0 libraries can advance not just their communities, but their positions within them. You’ll learn how adopting network concepts and software promotes the library’s most fundamental mission: knowledge creation and dissemination.]]></description>

      <title>Building DREW</title>
      <link>http://quartz.syr.edu/rdlankes/pod/Chicago.mp3</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The goals of the DREW project are to: create a schema useful in archiving components of a reference transaction in a standardized manner; work with services to turn their archives into the DREW format; collect, clean, and remove personally identifiable information; create an exploration space for library scientists to create new models, measures, reports, and generalizations about the reference process; and create the infrastructure to allow services to directly benefit from the models the researchers create. Both librarians and researchers will learn how they can participate in the collaborative DREW project.

I took the text (well, most of it) of a 2003 article on the Digital Reference Fallacy (that asynchronous and synchronous reference are different), and turned it into speech. Why? I'm working on creating a Podcast from a listserv. Messages from the listserv will be converted to a spoken sound file and syndicated using RSS (a podcast). I'd be interested in any feedback on the results.]]></description>
