I hope you all enjoyed the inaugural issue in February, which has been downloaded more than 300 times! I received a few emails from happy readers, so I hope you find the second issue just as educating and entertaining. My big goal for the May issue, as your editor, was to establish columns for the sections and round tables of NLA. A lot of the time our membership is really only aware of what is going on in their own individual field of librarianship. A SCYP member might have no idea what a TSRT member is doing while the TSRT member is clueless about what PLTS does, and so on. Therefore, it is my goal to have a column in each issue for the sections and round tables to inform the general membership of what they are doing and what has been happening. You’d be surprised at some of the helpful things you’ll learn from your fellow colleagues! This month we are rolling out columns for the College and University (C&U), Paraprofessional (Para), Public Library and Trustee (PLTS), and School, Children’s and Young People (SCYP) sections, along with the Technical Services (TSRT) round table. In our August issue we will see the columns for our other groups: Special and Institutional (S&I), Intellectual Freedom, New Members Round Table (NMRT), Information Technology and Access Round Table (ITART), and the Young Adult Round Table (YART). Joining our other columns you’ll see each month (“How I ’Roll” and “Beyond the Stacks”) is the first entry in Marty Magee’s “The Knee Bone’s Connected to the What?” column, all about finding free creditable health information online that you can share with your patrons. We also see the beginnings of our “News Brief” section and the start of “Book Bites”, a section for your reviews of books, movies, games, and more! We have some interesting feature articles on social media use in Nebraska libraries, technology classes for seniors that the Omaha Public Library did in conjunction with AARP, how two libraries outsourced some of their work, a poet’s visit to Kearney, and information about Advocacy Day. I want to thank everyone that sent in photos for our May cover image! I received so many to choose from. While I couldn’t use them all you will be seeing some of them in the August issue as many of the photos showcased some awesome programs our librarians are doing in Nebraska and I asked those librarians to contribute articles. The winning photo came from Wayne Public Library’s Treasure in the Stacks Easter Egg Hunt, which was held on March 23rd, 2013. It featured Dave Bohnert and his son, Nolan. Also in the background perusing the stacks for books is very regular visitor, Liam Spieker. The photo was taken by Melissa Derechailo and submitted by Julie Osnes. As I mentioned in the last issue, I can only make Nebraska Libraries great with your help! I’m looking for articles about anything related to libraries and about successful (or not as successful as we can learn from those too) programs your library has done recently. With Summer Reading coming up, I expect to see a bunch of articles in my inbox from all you children’s and teen librarians about the cool programs you offered your patrons this summer! I am also looking for fun content too—book reviews, news items, profiles of libraries and librarians, creative writing, art, and anything you can think of! Please don’t hesitate to contact me your ideas for articles and columns. Let’s make Nebraska Libraries a quality publication that showcases the great things that Nebraskan libraries and librarians do! You can reach me at: [email protected] Lindsey Tomsu Editor, Nebraska Libraries - 3 - Nebraska Libraries Using Social Software By Marcia L. Dority Baker Do you remember what you were doing in 2003 or 2004? The evolution of technology during the past decade is amazing to review. Think about how quickly social software incorporated into our day-to-day lives; it’s become part of our jobs, libraries, and relationships. It’s not only physical technology (hardware) that has morphed; the social software has changed as well. In 2003, the social sites LinkedIn and MySpace were born and Nokia released a cell phone with a camera. For those interested, Facebook launched in 2005 and Apple released the first iPhone in 2007—oh, how time flies. A conversation with a library colleague on using LibGuides sparked the idea to survey Nebraska Library Association (NLA) members to check the pulse on Nebraska libraries using social software. According to the Mashable website, “social software” is defined as any interactive tools used to communicate. My curiosity piqued, I emailed a brief (six question) survey in March 2013, entitled “Nebraska Libraries Using Social Software,” to the NLA membership. The survey asked: (1) What type of library do you work in?, (2) Is your library using social software?, (3) Does your library have a website?, (4) What social software is your library using?, (5) For what reasons does your library use social software?, and (6) How long has your library used social media? The intent was to determine the types of social software used by Nebraska libraries and how long Nebraska libraries have participated in various social software platforms. I want to thank fellow Nebraska librarians and library staff for your quick replies to this survey! The survey was emailed to approximately 950 NLA members. When asked what type of library respondents worked in I received 97 total responses, which included librarians from public libraries (46 responses), academic libraries (31 responses), school libraries (9 responses), other libraries (6 responses), and special/institutional libraries (5 responses). According to Question 2, a majority of respondents (86 responses) affirmed that their library uses social software to communicate. One interesting response was the “not sure” option as two people responded that they were unsure if their library uses social software. This response may demonstrate that libraries should communicate better with library staff, users, and the board of trustees the technology or social software the library uses or subscribes to. It can be assumed that most Nebraska libraries have a website providing access to the library catalog, contact information, library hours, databases, or programming details.

Vorsitzender: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Florian Matthes 2. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Johann Schlichter Die Dissertation wurde am 18.04.2007 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Informatik am 09.08.2007 angenommen. Abstract In recent years, web community platforms that pertain to the emerging class of social software have gained considerable popularity among lead users on the Web. Social software platforms focus on supporting information exchange in online social networks by providing services for information search, publication and sharing, and collaborative classification of personal information in individual users’ social contexts. Hence, individual users can link together and exchange information with selected contacts like co-workers, friends or family members by means of social software. However, functional features and information models of social software platforms reveal limitations from the individual user’s perspective with regard to managing distributed personal information, that is, most significantly lack of service integration, flexible metadata management and cross-platform relation management of personal information. Within the scope of this thesis, the concept of user-centered social software as an innovative approach for personal information management support in online social networks is developed.
