strategy for implementing new technologies
strategy for implementing new technologies
3:54 PM EDT 4/4/07
I am wracking my brain to remember where I heard/read an implementation strategy that I paraphrase badly as: "Research/review X new technologies; experiment with X new technologies; and implement one....

My keywords just don't seem good enough to track down the source or sources, so I thought I would try the knowledge-base of those who may be participating in this forum.

thanks,
Sheila

Hi Sheila,
Was it something specifically set in the library world... about implementing technology in libraries? Or was it more general than that?

--Brenda,

It was definitely out in the biblioblogoshpere, though whether I got it from it's primary source or from a secondary source, I don't recall. It may have been in the context of Learning 2.0 and their 23 things ( http://plcmclearning.blogspot.com/ ), but that is a guess.

Aside from wanting a more articulate version of the statement than I can come up with on my own, I really want to be able to offer proper attribution.

thanks,
Sheila

Are you thinking of the recent offering of [url http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/ ]Five Weeks to a Social Library[/url]?

I heard it was a [url http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/node/471 ]great success[/url].

It could definitely be something I ran across in 5-weeks. I lurked there pretty regularly. But that is what I mean about my keywords not being good enough. All of my searches of the course blog and the wiki have not hit the nail on the head. Depending on how desperate I get, I may just have to do a systematic review of both sites.

I guess a direct approach would be one way to go--a comment on the blog that might get me some help, but before I say "Hey did one of you say this?" to the Five Weeks people, I am goint to keep on digging.

I'm a little more comfortable throwing out this sort of question to the WJ community than I am doing it in other contexts....

This is just a stab in the dark: http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/proceedings/&toc=comp/proceedings/icalt/2006/2632/00/2632toc.xml&DOI=10.1109/ICALT.2006.124

Maybe?

Check Tame The Web (http://www.tametheweb.com). Michael Stephens has mentioned just that exact "formula" in at least one of his past posts.

Thanks so much for this clue. Tame the Web was also on my list of likely suspects. When I finally track down the exact forumula, I'll post it here. Sheila

Yes, please let us know the answer. I got bit by the reference challenge and spent some time searching, but to no avail. I'm stumped.
