Brian Pichman, a member of the Evolve Project, is dedicated to bringing libraries into the future using cost effective measures and strategies, as well as blending environments to be engaging and interactive. Learn why libraries around the world are changing and evolving to meet the needs of the patrons. Together we investigate ways libraries have been creating new interactive spaces, and how they are building makerspaces and fab labs. We also discuss emerging technology and how that plays a role in not only learning spaces but also what it means for content creation and curation. As a group, we will discover ways libraries can improve and further define themselves as community anchors. We will also take a virtual walk through of a redesign Brian has done for a children's public library and ways he branded and marketed the project to help find extra funding.

The 4th floor is a public laboratory and educational facility with a focus on information, design, technology, and the applied arts. The 14,000 sq foot space hosts equipment, expertise, programs, events, and meetings that work within this scope. While traditional library spaces support the consumption of knowledge by offering access to media, the 4th floor is unique because it supports the production, connection, and sharing of knowledge by offering access to tools and instruction.

Your environment can have all the best tech toys and cool fablabs but it could still fall short. It is up to the frontline staff to ENANGE their audiences. A friendly hello goes a long way. Allow the staff to play with the tech; get them involved to reflect that excitement to the users.
• Use the tools your users use • Communicate on their level • These are your #1 Marketing Tools
Digital Content Curation Encourage creativity

• The Game of Books is gamifying the reading experience. • In the Game, you are the character that you are leveling up; books are the magical items that give you rewards. • This is a project from BookLamp.Org • Each Book in the world has a very specific DNA, a structure that contains specific themes, writing style, density, etc. • The themes in the book relate to points – and those points apply to your character. • More Details: www.gameofbooks.com

Back To Searching O Technology is becoming more “visual” orientated O Whether it be from touch, gesture, or objects O Search Dynamics are changing
What’s this talk about “Big Data” O Technology is being used to identify trends in our lives. This data is being curated and collected. O This can help us with: O Identifying health trends O Saving Time or Energy O Increase efficiency in our lives

Future Concepts O People watching TV can point and click to buy content (clothes, cars, etc) O Predictive searches (Amazon does it now) O Ask yourself, what do you want to create?
There never seems to be enough money to do anything
So Where Can Money Come From?
Crowd-Source Funding • People across the world group together to fund new projects and ideas • People are encouraged to donate by either the attractive name or “awards” based off the amount they donate. • Kickstarter.com • Indiegogo.com

Social Media • Market your “Brand” heavy through social media – And Blogging • Solid companies pro-actively manage their social media accounts. – They watch what people are saying because everyone else can see what people say – They want only positivity about their company on the web, they will work to only have positive comments. – If a company does provide assistance, always show your support through social media • (you may need more support later on down the road). Social Media is a way to develop relationships
Designing Interactive Library Spaces - Seminar w/ EdLab, Teachers College of Columbia University
Tips - Twitter • Only use positivity when communicating on twitter • 140 Characters, make them count! – Wow! @COMPANYX has some really great stuff. I need to get my hands on it – Who would like to see @PRODUCT in our library space? • Once you build a good relationship ask the hard questions – Can you help me on the cost @COMPANYZ
Tips - Facebook • Go to the Company’s Pages, be sure to “Like” their page before commenting • Again, be only positive. Tell your story, pitch your idea.
Designing Interactive Library Spaces - Seminar w/ EdLab, Teachers College of Columbia University
Handling Objections • You will hear “no” – A LOT • But that just means phrased the question wrong or asked the incorrect person. – Who else can I talk to about discounted pricing/donations – Does anyone make a similar product that would be more inline with our budget (ask them about their competitors). – What other things would you recommend? • Don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions of “why” • Everyone has a bottom line.
Just Ask
Places to save money • Buy Refurbished – Refurbishment is the distribution of products (usually electronics) that have been previously returned to a manufacturer or vendor for various reasons. Refurbished products are normally tested for functionality and defects before they are sold, and thus are the approximate equivalent of certified pre-owned cars. - Wikipedia – Refurbs are OK!!! • Discount Sites: – 1SaleADay.Com – Woot.Com – Monoprice.Com – E-Bay

Editor's Notes

  1. Allow your patrons the ability to build things. Fab Labs/Maker Spaces
  2. With the idea of an open play environment; people will discover new and exciting things on their own.Fact: You remember things that you discover on your own better than things told directly.
  3. Collaboration allows people to get together to discuss common interests to gain new knowledge. People will collaborate naturally if centered around something FUN!
  4. Interaction will allow your patrons to learn and grow.Interaction is necessary to maintain interest in your library’s programs, collection, etc.
  5. Innovation must be an original disruptive act.Innovation is the embodiment, combination, and/or synthesis of knowledge in novel, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services
  6. Ways to Engage Your Space (MiniGolf, QR Codes, Color Bags)
  7.  Purchase different colored paper bags o Each bag is for a different genre of book o Place Barcode number outside of bag  May have to write it o Place book inside bag, and staple it close  Gets your circ numbers up!
  8. Christmas – take red and green books and them facing outside the shelves. The colors of the covers/spines will brighten up your collection
