Crowdsourcing ideas about libraries in 2009: A Twitter story
One informal, Twitter-based crowdsourcing experiment yielded useful results this week. During the start of a conversation with a group of librarian’s, NITLE’s research director quickly Tweeted (posted to Twitter) a general query for feedback on a big question:
What are the most important emerging technologies, or issues, for American libraries, going into 2009? Summoning Twittersource! 8:33 AM Dec 3rd from web
Before the day was out, twenty-nine responses were Tweeted, publicly. They covered a series of ideas, responded to each other, and quickly constituted an intercontinental conversation among very interested librarians, faculty, and staff (This was extracted from Liberal Education Today, 2008).
