  2. INTRODUCTION TO THE ATLAS

  3. THE ATLAS • WHAT IS THE ATLAS? --is a topical map represented by a series of agreements in relation to one another organized into a series of threads. While there are many terms are discussed in detail throughout the Atlas—Agreement, Relationships, Threads, Map, and Atlas. • HOW TO NAVIGATE THE ATLAS?--the Atlas is divided into three major components: the map, threads, and agreement supplements. If the Atlas is seen as course, the map is the syllabus, the threads are the lectures, and the agreement supplements contain the accompanying readings and discussion materials.

  4. THE ATLAS • READERS OF THE ATLAS -- Practitioners (librarians in the field) -- LIS scholars -- LIS students -- Members, communities, public • LIMITATION OF THE ATLAS --it lays out a broad framework and a direction, but it does not go into the specifics of all skills mentioned. --the Atlas is mainly reflecting the North American perspective.

  5. MISSION The Mission of Librarians is to Improve Society through Facilitating Knowledge Creation in their Communities Ability to change

  6. LONGTITUDE EXAMPLE

  7. CONVERSATION THEORY Important of Theory and Deep Concepts CONVERSATION THEORY Knowledge is Created through Conversation

  8. OTHER INFORMATION CONCEPTS AND THEORIES Dialectic Theories Postmodernism Sense-Making Constructivism Learning Theory Motivation Theories Motivation

  9. CREATING A NEW SOCAL COMPACT Evolution of the Social Compact

  10. THREAD CONCLUSION • A place where new knowledge is created •  Further a knowledge based society

  11. KNOWLEDGE CREATION Means of Facilitation Knowledge Knowledge is Created through Conversation

  12. KNOWLEDGE IS CREATED THROUGH CONVERSATION The Mission of Librarians is to Improve Society through Facilitating Knowledge Creation in their Communities Knowledge is Created through Conversation

  13. CONVERSATION THEORY -- Back–and–Forth :Two people (or organizations, societies, or even parts of oneself) engage in a back-and forth dialogue over time.

  14. CONVERSATION THEORY --“Conversants” are cognizing agents that seek agreement. -- Conversants can be within us or external to us. Conversation Theory A librarian plays an active role in that conversation. -- L0 (directional) --L1(adding specific words or phrases) How systems work and how to make them efficient.

  15. Artifacts • Cataloging Relationships • Source Amnesia • Invest in Tools of creation over Collection of Artifacts • Limitations of Tagging • Agreements • Annotations • Death of Documents • Entailment Mesh • Memory

  16. BROTHER BROTHER Brother Brother

  17. SCAPES ---Scape is a conceptual digital reference software system that embodies concepts of Conversation Theory. --- It seeks to recast the digital reference process from the foundations of conversation, rather than the tradition of the reference desk. ---We give our members a big table from which to work. The librarians not only has the question the member is asking, but the librarians can see the table of what members have already looked at and even how they are conceptualizing their worldview on the topic. ---This system can perform all sorts of functions, such as finding other people who may share common relationships or finding a path through agreements and lead to unexpected outcomes.

  18. REFERENCE EXTRACT A credibility engine --It takes the resources that librarians see as credible, and uses them to help members find credible information on the Internet. Advantages -- Members perceive the information they get from libraries are highly credible. -- By linking this into ongoing reference activities in libraries, we have a built-in way to keep new coming in and built-in mechanisms for diversity (reference at academic libraries, government, public, schools, etc). --We can link this system right into a Scape to suggest new connections and resources.

  19. LIBRARIES ARE IN THE KONWLEDGE BUSINESS, THEREFORE THE CONVERSATION BUSINESS

  20. TRUE FACILITATION MEANS SHARED OWNERSHIP Means of Facilitation True Facilitation Means Shared ownership Members not Patrons or Users

  21. ACCESS

  22. KNOWLEDGE Knowledge

  23. ENVIRONMENT

  24. MOTIVATION • Intrinsic Motivation • Extrinsic Motivation

  25. MOTIVATION Motivation Theories Motivation Means of Facilitation

  26. THREAD CONCLUSION Means of Facilitation boils down to:  Getting them to a conversation knowing what they are doing Help them feel safe ＆compelled to participate Successful Facilitation helps a member find their story

  27. COMMUNITIES Hybrid Environment Different Communities Librarians Serve The Mission of Librarians is to Improve Society through Facilitating Knowledge Creation in their Communities Pressure for Participation Digital Environment Physical Environment Boundary Issues

  28. DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

  29. CREDIBILITY

  30. Physical Environment --- Topical Centers with Curriculum --Aid like conversations to progress from agreement to agreement by putting like conversations together. --Part of facilitation is guiding members from their current state of knowledge a new state, agreement by agreement. They will be willing to follow if they trust us, or we can provide consistently trustworthy guides. --Curriculum depend the nature of the community being served and the conversation. It improves usage and outcomes, and it makes assessment much easier.

  31. Hybrid Environment • Hybrid environment: the seamless interaction of the digital with the virtual. (i.e. millions of cars get stopped by red lights controlled by intelligent transportation management systems that seek to mediate crowed roadways. ＆Through ATM machines, the digital world of finance is translated into paper money…).

  32. Different Communities Librarians Serve Pressure for Participation Different communities Librarians Serve

  33. Public

  34. Academic

  35. ASSESSMENT ---Assessment, it is a constant means to ensure the success of ourselves and the members we serve. --- There are two sets of criteria for assessment: one for the librarian and one for the member. For the librarian, we need to evaluate how well we facilitate: How well did you provide access to service and conversations? How well did you instill the necessary knowledge to engage in these conversations? Did you provide a safe environment? How effectively did you motivate the member to create knowledge?

  36. ASSESSMENT ----For the member, we need to assess the knowledge-creation process and outcomes: Did the member effectively access conversant? Did the member’s language move from L0 to L1? Did the member build a workable set of agreements to solve his or her problems? Are these agreements integrated into their larger knowledge?

  37. ASSESSMENT Mapping Conversations---mapping conversations is a way to identify community conversations and their priorities. First, it is important that this is a process that should be conducted with members and the community you seek to serve. • Step1: identify key member groups • Step 2: identify key conversations within and across the member groups. • Step 3: identify regularities in the conversations • Step 4: map any existing librarian services • Step 5: assign a value to the potential benefit librarians can bring to the conversations. • Step 6: assign a value to the potential value the conversations have to the librarians. • Step 7: align librarian services to the high-priority conversations.

  38. School

  39. TRULY DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL LIBRARY ----We must insist that the library is the heart of the campus or community; we must become the circulatory system. We must be the vital flow of knowledge and services that permeates our communities. When you are in town hall, you are in the library. When you are in a classroom, you are in the library. When you are in the hospital, courtroom, coffee shop, or theater, you are in the library.

  40. IMPROVE SOCIETY

  41. IMPROVE SOCIETY Service Leadership Policy The Mission of Librarians is to Improve Society through Facilitating Knowledge Creation in their Communities Importance of Action and Activism Creation a New Social Compact Creating a Agenda Social Justice Issues Innovation

  42. Service Service is Not Invisible The work you do has an impact!

  43. CORE VALUES

  44. SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES • POLICY --- Democracy and Openness Overshadowed by Technology • INNOVATION --- Innovation versus Entrepreneurship • CREATING AN AGENDA --- Risks of Data • LEADERSHIP --- Obligation of Leadership

  45. THREAD CONCLUSION A Noble Profession Don’t undersell what we do !

  46. LIBRARIANS We cannot have good libraries until we first have good librarians– properly, educated, professionally recognized, and fairly rewarded ---- Herbert S. White
