Virtual SymposiumWhat I am taking away from the Hyperlinked Library MOOC ~ thoughts, reflections & lessons
The Odeon Theatre, Christchurch (post earthquakes) … Glad it is a virtual symposium#HyperLibMOOC 1
About me and the team I am Brendon Moir & I work in the web team at
Christchurch City Libraries, New Zealand
The team at Christchurch City Libraries has continued to offer an excellent service despite the earthquakes (social media as a means of communication has been vital)
There is a changing landscape to Christchurch physical libraries as well as our online/digital presence (hyperlinked library)
I was fortunate enough to meet Michael Stephens and other library professionals in person at a Christchurch tweet-up
#HyperLibMOOC 2
Thoughts, Reflections & LessonsThe #HyperLibMOOC has been the most relevant and
engaging LIS course I have ever completed
Being part of an international community of passionate professionals has been a wonderful experience. It is heartening to know we all contribute to making the world a better place
The majority of us in the library profession are not driven by money. We are driven by our hearts and the ideal of helping people / our communities
#HyperLibMOOC 3
Thoughts, Reflections & LessonsThe hyperlinked library is only going to grow
Access on computers & mobile devices is equally important as it is in buildings (for everyone, everywhere ~ convenience can’t be underestimated)
#HyperLibMOOC 4
Thoughts, Reflections & Lessons
Always think about the BIG picture ~ it is important
Libraries need a mapped strategy, with input from all staff
Management should not enforce policies from the top down
A participatory, transparent, model involving all staff is the key
#HyperLibMOOC 5
Thoughts, Reflections & LessonsNo matter what position LIS individuals hold, we should all
help create, understand and support what our library is trying to achieve
Staff buy-in is essential
Learning to know our patrons is important
We should all be leaders, take responsibility and promote our library, everyone of us
Always think of your patrons when making decisions
#HyperLibMOOC 6
Thoughts, Reflections & LessonsThe web requires us to be flexible and fluid
Promote reflective practice – thoughtful consideration – what worked and what didn’t?
Remember to trial, reflect , review … and repeat (learn)
Failing is fine … it may even be fun
#HyperLibMOOC 7

Thoughts, Reflections & LessonsMake technology simple for users and they will endorse,
return and share
Play, learn, grow and flourish
It’s important to have fun
We can always improve personally and professionally
#HyperLibMOOC 9
Thoughts, Reflections & LessonsWith the internet / hyperlinked library being available 24/7,
it is important to remember to have a good work / life balance
Remember to take breaks and enjoy the little things in life
#HyperLibMOOC 10
Thoughts, Reflections & Lessons It is a given that technology is going to continue to improve
and offer new opportunities
Let’s continue to dream of how we can use it to better serve our patrons/ community
