| Building Academic Library 2.0 |
 |
Academic Library 2.0 Keynote Speaker:
Meredith Farkas, Distance Learning Librarian
Norwich University, Northfield
A Conference sponsored by the Librarians
Association of the University of California,
Berkeley Division
Once a symbolic bastion of traditional
accumulations of specialized knowledge,
today's academic library operates in an
information landscape grown increasingly
variegated and difficult to traverse.
Paradoxically, at the same time, data,
information, knowledge, cultural production,
and scholarship are far more accessible,
appropriable, and manipulable than ever
before. New media attract widespread
attention, more pliable technologies emerge
with increasing frequency, and--most
importantly--young generations of students
and faculty with aptitudes, skills, and
expectations borne of a world massively
defined by the Internet and its progeny are
populating the halls of academe.
The convergence of the once distinct
technological and social meanings of the term
"network" is evident in the rise of
communities of remote collaborations among
friends, acquaintances, students, and
researchers. These developments compel
academic libraries to consider how best to
apply new technologies to suit users' demands
and to satisfy their institutional and
educational missions.
The Academic Library 2.0 conference will
address the phenomenon of academic libraries
taking affirmative steps to deploy
technologies and services that facilitate
users' virtually instant connection to
diverse sources of knowledge and information,
as well as to help users directly contribute
form and substance to those sources.

| Prangstgrup Library Musical - Reading on a Dream PRANK!! |
 |
Mike Barry and Anjuli Kolb star in an
absolutely hilarious musical where they start
singing broadway style music in a library
filled with unsuspecting people.
Lyrics (written by Brian Jacobs)
What's this?
What's this on the page?
I can hardly believe my eyes.
Everything that seems a new surprise
and I'm doing it all because I'm readin' on a
dream.
Magical places and faces to see
Poetry, science and technology
Inspiration in my imagination
I'm just a page or two away.
Nobody sings in the library.
Nobody here makes a peep.
But I can't keep it in
Yeah, I just gotta be singin'
and nobody can stop me now.
Because I'm readin' on a dream.
Readin' on a hell of a feeling.
And I wish that I could share
but nobody ever dares.
And I feel so alone.
I'm happy, but I'm on my own.
If only there was someone to s
hare in this experience.
(Anjuli Kolb stands)
Would you give me a chance?
And would you care to dance?
Care!... to dance?
(Together)
Yes, we're readin' on a dream.
We're Readin' on a hell of feeling
and I found someone to share.
Yes, what a wonderful pair.
Readin' on a dream.
We're readin' on a terrific feeling
and I'm thinkin' it out loud.
Yes, I'm thinkin' it out loud.
Readin', readin' on a,
readin', readin' on a,
readin', we're reading on a dream.
Let's do it!
