Agenda

  1. New and Notable
    1. 360 Degree Video
      1. Allows user to pan and zoom and annotate.
      2. Example:
      3. Also often used for sports videos but now becoming more consumer friendly)
      4. Requires special rig (to hold multiple GoPros/cameras) and specialized software to stitch it together
      5. FSAD student inquired if we had the equipment for this so she could make a virtual tour of a goat farm
      6. 3D print housing for cameras? Ask GoPro for demo version? See if there’s a rep at Ed Tech Day who could hook us up? Ask if Academic Tech is willing to buy?
  2. Action Item Report
    1. Suma update
      1. Nick doing meeting w/NCSU team next week; they have chat room and new wiki pages in GitHub; starting next development cycle--complete rewrite in framework they used for new reporting client and then changes based on user feedback iPad works in elevator
    2. Digital Signage Needs
      1. Love the circ display, definitely keep but perhaps try some new content? Maybe showing the top 10 most popular reserve items and when they are due back? Do we want to incorporate the One Button Studio, Interview Room, the Hive? Other equipment?
      2. Big Touch – can we use that for library advertising somehow? Allow students to take brief surveys? Games? Geogrpahy themed news student welcome (in collaboration w/study abroad)? Puzzle?
      3. Desktop screensavers – any way to use that for library advertising? Rotate through liaison librarian profiles? Show different spaces available for study? (Gabriel says easy to implement)
      4. Ipads in the elevators (Matt says they work and have signal)
      5. Signs for Mann 112 showing room availability *
      6. Signs for MacLab?
      7. Something interactive for stacks searching/directions (or even all floor maps)
      8. Something that shows the availability of all our spaces, both reserved and non-reserved. If a space can be reserved and is available, I’d like the patron to be able to reserve it from that signage. Think of an interactive airport departures and arrivals board
      9. Something that showed all of our events at once would be nice too if we’re dreaming
      10. Signage (hanging from ceiling right before the atrium as you walk in) that would point to many services at one time (digital or not; post that points to places; footprints)
      11. Proximity based signage; push technology
      12. Things to Think About
        1. Do we want to feature what’s available/happening right now (as it started out) vs. what’s upcoming *
        2. Ability to switch/rotate through info screens
        3. Big touch vs. Circ display; make circ it’s own display, stone it’s own display
        4. NOTE: PTAC has gotten requests for stacks searching and looked at a commercial product (http://www.stackmap.com/ that was super expensive and did require lots of set up. Also previous kiosk implementation lacking
        5. Sustainability (updating when things move)
    3. Classroom Recording
      1. Gabriel and Matt looked at Stone (and 160) and recorded a couple of WebEx sessions (Wikipedia edit-a-thon; SPARKTalks) 
      2. $150 for mic directly into computer; $150 for web camera - so $300 solution per room; already in place
      3. Sound quality is OK for basic set up; Mann 102 is $65K solution and sounds fabulous
      4. What are we trying to do and how good does it need to be? *
      5. Investigate doing a mid-range user-friendly set up in Stone
      6. Bypass Crestron and ignore lighting; lighting control’s upgraded separately later
      7. Matt will get in touch with a vendor and get a free quote for simple pan-tilt-zoom camera; sounds running directly into computer; WebEx and Panopto for both live streaming and recording for distance learning
    4. LibCal 100 seat tier is activated
    5. Gate count (data attached to wiki)
      1. Apparently it shuts off and doesn’t notify you unless you request so missing data from Jan and Feb; now reactivated (“power cycled”) as of March 5 and will alert if off for more than
      2. Installed at the end of July last year so August 2015 is light
      3. Looking for correlation between reference and gate count
    6. iPad reservations
      1. Analytics changed from Google to Piwik for privacy reasons and exit pages aren’t really accurate measure of what we need
      2. Nick tracking iPad reservations through Javascript for last week
      3. Not using iPad to make reservation; going straight to spaces.mannlib.cornell.edu (only instance Nick testing)
      4. Is it possible that One Button iPad didn’t have internet access? Often down according to Suma observations

 

Carried over to next time

  1. One-Button Studio Situation Report
  2. Nick, Sara, and Tobi: Update on the Mann Website
  3. Nick: Update on Data Dashboard prototype

    I think we've got a full plate for our next meeting agenda, but I'd love to discuss makerspace developments and a request from Sarah Young for a platform that will help will project management for systematic review service and ideas.  I've asked Sarah to provide us with a list of requirements which I hope to have by our next meeting.
