This document contains statistics from 2014 about library activities and usage for several Ontario cities with populations over 250,000. It includes data on reference transactions, circulation, electronic resources usage, in-library materials use, visits, wireless use, and programs. The cities reported millions of annual transactions, circulations, website and database visits, library visits, and program attendances. A graph at the end shows key ratios such as electronic visits to the library website and in-person visits per capita, as well as program attendance per active card holder and per capita.
Libraries are facing many disruptions and need to adapt to remain relevant. The document discusses potential changes like digital books replacing print, streaming replacing physical media, and content being delivered through the cloud. It suggests libraries focus on skills like teaching online, supporting e-learning and makerspaces, and developing strong community partnerships. Libraries also need to understand user behaviors and research goals to provide the best experiences.
APIs allow programs to access and use data from other programs or services. Mashups combine data from multiple sources into a single application. The Semantic Web aims to make web content machine-readable so that software agents can process and understand it, enabling applications like automatically scheduling a patient's medical appointments based on preferences. Librarians should advocate for vendor APIs, create useful mashups, and prepare to contribute to the Semantic Web as standards mature.
The document provides information from a market probe conducted by the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries (FOPL) in 2015. It includes:
- Statistics and measurements strategies undertaken by FOPL, including participating in task forces, hosting symposia, publishing analyses and polls.
- Reports published by FOPL, including an overview of Ontario public library operating data from 2001-2013, a market probe public opinion poll from May 2015, and a presentation on the 2015 poll.
- Findings from the public opinion poll showing that while in-person library visits have remained steady, online access has increased, and usage patterns have evolved with more people using both online and in-person services.
Blogs & Wikis (and what you can do with them)amanda etches

The document discusses blogs and wikis as tools for libraries. Blogs are organized by date and allow single authors to share news, events and stories about the library. Wikis are organized by links and allow multiple authors to collaboratively create and edit pages like subject guides and internal documentation. While blogs focus on one author and rarely change content, wikis enable editing of all content and constant updates to pages. Both are useful tools that should be chosen based on the specific needs and use case.
Valuation and perception results daphne 2Stephen Abram

The document summarizes results from public surveys conducted by the Vancouver Public Library in 2010, 2013, and 2015 to evaluate perceptions of and priorities for library services. Key findings include:
- Visits to library branches and websites increased between 2010 and 2015.
- Alternatives to the library for accessing books or ebooks decreased between 2010 and 2015.
- Perceptions of the library's relevance increased slightly between 2010 and 2013 but remained steady between 2013 and 2015.
- Support for spending tax dollars to fund library services remained high, including for those who do not directly use the library.

This document discusses social media strategy frameworks for libraries. It outlines the key elements of developing an effective social media strategy including learning about current trends, defining objectives, establishing governance policies, identifying activities, developing staff capabilities, measuring engagement, and listening to audiences. An important part of the strategy involves determining how social media supports existing organizational goals like marketing, outreach, and recruitment. The framework also stresses the importance of understanding risks, setting policies, and organizing teams through various governance models.
Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) is a cytogenetic technique that allows radiolabeling of genomic DNA within cells, allowing visualization under a fluorescence microscope. GISH was developed in 1986 for animal hybrid cell lines and 1987 for plant studies. It involves extracting and radiolabeling genomic DNA from one organism as a probe to target and hybridize to similar genomic regions of another organism. Unhybridized regions can then be stained, allowing visualization of probe-target complexes and unlabeled regions. GISH provides quick, sensitive, and informative results for establishing phylogenetic relationships and identifying hybridized genomes.
