Consider Library Size Are you from a small library? Are you from a large library? Interested and Qualified
![Page 8: Convening an Emerging Technologies Working Group in an Academic Library](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cf0550346895db9ef1b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Core Group Select experts
Potential testers
Splinter groups
Appointments and volunteers
Rotating members Experts and
novices Give opportunity!

Research Methods
Let’s take a look at some tools that can help us keep abreast of what is going on!

Two pronged approach Core members of
your group. Instructional
Services person Web development

Specific needs vs. Horizon awareness
Specific needs will generate a charge Horizon awareness will most likely be more
casual.

Tools of the trades… There is much
overlap between LIS tools and Instructional Technology tools.
Libraries are a place of learning
Journals, websites, blogs and conferences

Looking at the technologies Need based
choices Research based
choices They both need to
be well informed. Be sure you are not
missing anything viable.

into your group charge!

Other benefits of testing groups! Team building opportunities The chance to collaborate across
departments. Working with colleagues you many not
normally get to work with. New perspectives and understandings. Different learning styles and ways of
knowing

Presenting your findings… May depend upon
the size of your organization.
May depend upon the project.

Assessing failure… Remember… your
charge and the work you have done gives you permission to assess failure.

What is holding up the project and why? Power struggle by an
individual or group? Confront it because it
is a barrier to service. Competence issues?
Find ways to get the necessary help or shift duties.
Pooh-Poohed and later resurrected? Commit to
confronting ethical dilemmas as a group!
![Page 41: Convening an Emerging Technologies Working Group in an Academic Library](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cf0550346895db9ef1b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Getting it implemented! Get those team
and testing participants on the bandwagon.
Support of past participants.
Support of the users with need.
