we chose Intro to Phone Gap session #hhlib #
@eclectic_techie don't blame you one bit in reply to eclectic_techie #
we have 5 total here; 3 more than I expected! 🙂 brave souls for weather going on… #hhlib #
phone gap is an open source solution for building cross-platform mobile apps #hhlib #
PhoneGap OS Support: iOS, Android, Blackberry, Palm [works best w Phone Gap], Symbian, Maemo, Windows Mobile #hhlib #
PhoneGap Dev Cycle: Install the SDK: generate code; Build it; upload to Apps Store for different platforms #hhlib #
when you choose to dev for app stores…cost involved #hhlib #
SDK is a coding kit for Java #hhlib #
Native vs. Web apps; Web: v broad use, lim functionality; native: allows access 2 phone APIs, hard to dev it; know spec languages #hhlib #
RT @bibliotech9: sdk = software development kit #hhlib #
phonegap don't have to worry about diff languages #
keep in mind screensizes #hhlib #
RT @mreidsma: Benefit of @phonegap you can use the phones' native APIs and just write HTML5/CSS/JS #hhlib #ohmythatisnice #
Native Calls in PhoneGap: vibrate, beep, telephony, geolocation, accelerometer #hhlib #
tech prereqs: knowledge of html, css, java; ability to install sev tech packages #hhlib #
phoncegap source repository: http://bit.ly/e8Wild & other SDKs available off that link #hhlib #
Let's Build: RSS Reader >4 minutes iPhone App using native functions #hhlib COOL! #
This looks V easy to do; @lybrarian & I are telling @wizzyrea she needs to check it out! #hhlib she's looked at libraryanywhere app #
phonegap looks like its a bit more techie as its being demoed but still looks promising… #hhlib #
are we going to get an ice storm??? that's more ice than snow just from the sound of it hitting the windows atm #
We have one person coming back for afternoon #hhlib sessions but everyone else went home. Weather & roads only to get worse! #
@annehaines pshaw yes. all of office still here actually still. most attendees were 30-60 minutes away from their homes. in reply to annehaines #
@annehaines they can do archives for sure…. i live 1.5 miles from here 🙂 in reply to annehaines #
@buffyjhamilton thx hoping for it too…. in reply to buffyjhamilton #
excited about this resource from @overdrive: http://t.co/S7am3Ao [found it thx to Facebook post from the Pioneer Library System, OK] #

@annehaines oh i thought you meant you were going to fly to kansas to attend our local version of wintry mix…looking outside 🙂 #hhlib in reply to annehaines #
attending wintry mix sessions at #hhlib "the mobile student" ed tools for the mobile enhanced student #
@annehaines 🙂 too funny not to pass up since you have KS connections! #hhlib in reply to annehaines #
why mobile tools? readily available; quick to use; always on connection #hhlib #
RT @cmairn: @thinkpol Here is an interesting perspective on "the death of the Web" from Wired magazine, http://goo.gl/v0Sn. #hhlib #
research tools…missed pts #hhlib #
evernote: allows for multiple types of notes; multi-platform syncing; file size limit on free version #hhlib #
I <3 evernote #hhlib find more and more uses for it each day! #
@sfreeman great — really curious to see what patrons think of it! in reply to sfreeman #
@annehaines i am continually finding more uses for it; presenting on it for schl libs next sat; it's underutilized for sure! #hhlib in reply to annehaines #
worldcat: find items in yr local libraries; both native app and a webapp; can't login to access lists #hhlib #
@librarylea you're really going to like it; has desktop version too #hhlib in reply to librarylea #
Mobile OPACs: search your lib catalog on the go; webapps generally basic; native apps clunky and slow #hhlib #
anyone in #kohails community working on mobile app solution for Koha? lib in our #hhlib session was asking #
Subscription Databases: webapp or native app; access requires lib card/acct; formatting might be incorrect #hhlib #
RT @ksimon: Anyone know of a good list of database vendors with mobile versions? #hhlib #
scanner apps: quick notes or shots of a whiteboard; can convert images to PDF; optimizes image for legibility #hhlib #
@glenfarrelly i use it for digital to do lists (desktop app makes this easy peasy); building lists of resources for diff presos #HHLIB #
productivity: after research, time to get things done! #hhlib #
getting things done: make a list to track your tasks: carry it w you on yr phone – native app or webapp #hhlib #
Notes: built in notes.app; syncs to diff online accts; v basic but quick and easy to use #hhlib #
@glenfarrelly give it a try at least; @janholmquist has similar uses as me with to do lists & evernote #HHLIB in reply to glenfarrelly #
dropbox: file storage system; readonly access to files; multi-platform syncing #hhlib #
office suites: docstogo lets you read/edit Word, Excel, PPT files; connects to online storage; keybd diff for long form writing #hhlib #
@ash966 pshaw ignore 'em; typos shld be ignored! fast typing/keeping up/autocorrect world means typos are unavoidable! #hhlib #
google docs: webapp-req active Internet connection; edit and create text and spreadsheet files… #hhlib #
future of tools: greater acceptance in ed; one smartphone per child; more robust apps #hhlib #

@aiuliano np! 🙂 in reply to aiuliano #
RT @irasocol: Grand Rapids, MI schools in fed pilot to feed families this summer. Solving poverty is only way to close "achievement gap" #
RT @annehaines: Privacy def an issue I think about w/my own mobile devices – if I lost my phone I would be so screwed. #hhlib #
if i lost my phone or it broke or died, i'd be in DEEP trouble #hhlib #
@annehaines true but if it dies/breaks, i cant afford to replace it, fix it, if out of warranty #hhlib in reply to annehaines #

listening to Peter Brantley's keynote on "Save this Book: Posterity's Challenge" #hhlib #
preservation: the challenge of ebooks: myriads of formats; DRM; no ntl policy in place #hhlib #
no one is in charge of preservation of our growing cultural heritage in digital books #hhlib #
opportunity: digital storage means it is easy to preserve in multiple locations, in diff formats. #hhlib #
more redundancy than paper cld ever afford. Storage costs going down #hhlib #
RT @web20classroom: Teaching Students About The Upheaval In The Middle East: http://nyti.ms/fQDSVQ #
book is complex assembly of content: text, video, foreword, illustrations, photos. each item needs careful management #hhlib #
pub workflow: digital production workflow required: CMS; sophisticated rights/use tracking; skilled personnel esp engineering #hhlib #
possibility of loss shld motivate preservation; loss can arise for oneself or one's partners #hhlib #
loss could happen via 1. complex, tightly coupled systems and 2. struggle of memory vs. forgetting #hhlib #
@glenfarrelly don't know if this resource will help you w evernote; its student-focused, ultimate research tool: http://j.mp/i66DjI #HHLIB in reply to glenfarrelly #
RT @annehaines: Complexity in workflow systems increases the chance of loss. Tightly coupled systems mean small accident can cascade. #hhlib #
ripples and small problems can cause MAJOR problems to occur: "normal accident" theory: Think Apollo 13 #hhlib #
Tumblr crash & Flickr user account accidental deletion by Flickr other examples #hhlib #
RT @owatonnalibrary: flickr accidently deleting an account and not having a method to restore; yikes! The perils of digital! #hhlib #
context is critical in digital preservation; preserving without metadata isnt helpful; metadata provides necessary context. #hhlib #
context nec 4 dig preservation: I think of @DoleInstitute wanting to preserve all of Sen. Bob Dole's materials w his comments #Hhlib #
PDF not good way to preserve (non standard formats and arbitrary data); ePub w DRM locks data w risk that key will be lost #hhlib #
RT @abrunvand: easy to store objects that cannot be recovered #hhlib #
In US, @librarycongress plays unique role Section 407: the req copies or phonorecords shall be deposited in Copyright Office #hhlib #
