Virtual symposium

For my virtual symposium, I wanted to try to mix something hand-drawn with something hyperlinked and online, so I decided to illustrate some main points and have them be hyperlinks to my blog posts or other articles.  I thought it would be a good exercise to write out use my hands to connect to all of the great things we learned this semester.  I chose to link to things or posts from my blog that I felt showed what I learned this semester, was the most interested in, or really connected with. I definitely had some formatting issues (I even switched Themes to make it look better), I hope it’s clear what a good time I had this semester and what I learned.

The Hyperlinked Library is

Starting where we are by seeing what we do
eyes
Serve our communities and open up our services

We can create hyperlinked communities, and must ask ourselves

What kind do we want to create? Who are they for?
what conversations do we want to have?

Are libraries containers? What about books and other materials – what do they contain?

We're more than just a container There are lots of new things to do
But i think we can be an institution

Should libraries promote content creation?

In a changing publishing world and one where many things are democratized?
It seems clear that we should!

There are multiple literacies!

Being literate can mean lots of things There's lots to teach and learn
including about privacy and technology and culture

In the end, the Hyperlinked Library is one

I want to collaborate with I want to make things in
I want to create resilient communties in and create knowledge with.

  1. Lisa, this is so beautiful. I love that you combined the physical and hyperlinked “worlds.” This project is so imaginative, thoughtful, thought provoking, and inspirational. So cool.

  2. Nice to see your artistic side. I agree and would emphasize that not just publishing but creating has changed and become more mainstream. People need a place to develop their creativity and the library is well positioned to support those endeavors.

  3. Personal artwork is always meaningful to me. I think this symposium post is lovely. Your poetry and art sum up your #hyperlib experience in unique way. I’d like that last section on a T-Shirt. Gorgeous.

  4. Super cute, whimsical and thoughtful. I loved your creativity and how you linked the off-line world with the hyper-linked world 🙂
