Creating a Library App: Things to Know Before You Go Mobile Webinar on
Tuesday, April 28, 2015 11AM-12PM
Registration link: http://www.cla-net.org/?861
Mobile apps are a popular topic in libraries. But what does it take to
create one? Is an app the right solution, or should you create a responsive
website? What is the process like, and what resources are needed? How do you
manage privacy, security, and legal concerns? Who do you need to get the job
done, and what skills should they have?
These are all important questions that should be asked (and answered) before
you think about creating a mobile app. Learn from expert panelists from
libraries and nonprofits who have created, developed, and managed mobile
apps for their organizations. Panelists will share practical advice and
information based on experience, as well as helpful tools and resources.
Participants will learn:
* The difference between a mobile app, a mobile site, and a
responsive site
* Three important considerations when deciding whether or not to
create a mobile app.
* Five tips for approaching the design of a mobile app, mobile site,
or responsive site.
Presenters:
* Zeth Lietzau is the Manager of Digital User Experience and the
Community Technology Center at the Denver Public Library. He's the leader of
their Virtual Services initiative, which defines the direction of DPL's
online services, mobile & otherwise, including the Volume Denver project
which is available as a mobile-responsive site.
* Anna Jaeger and her team at Caravan Studios create mobile apps
that are designed in partnership with nonprofit and community-focused
organizations to meet the needs of their constituents. Anna has been a
frequent speaker on nonprofit and environmental technology since 2007. Prior
to her work with Caravan Studios, Ms. Jaeger was a founder and co-director
of TechSoup Global's GreenTech initiative and the director of TechSoup
Global's IT Engineering department.
* Ani Boyadjian has been a working librarian since 1990. An LAPL
staffer since 1996, she is now Research & Special Collections Manager at the
Los Angeles Public Library, where she also oversees the Library's
Digitization efforts. She most recently spearheaded the development of the
ARchive LAPL app in a partnership with USC and app developers Neon Roots, to
use augmented reality to tell stories about the historic Central Library.
Facilitator:
* Crystal Schimpf is both librarian and trainer with a passion for
technology issues. As co-founder of Kixal, she facilitates engaging panels,
workshops, and webinars for TechSoup for Libraries, Urban Libraries
Council's Edge Initiative, and the Colorado State Library.

Description:
Travis Good will share insights garnered from having visited different
makerspaces and Maker Faires across the country. He will explain why
"making" is fundamentally important, what its affecting and why libraries
are natural place to house makerspaces. Uyen Tran will discuss how without
funding, she was able to turn a study room with two 3D printers into a
simple makerspace that is funded and supported by the community. She will
also provide strategies for working with community partners to provide free
and innovative maker programs and creating a low cost/no cost library maker
environment. Resources and programming ideas will also be provided for
libraries with varying budgets and staffing. Upon completing this webinar,
every attendee should be able to start implementing "maker" programs at
their library.
Presenters:
Travis Good focuses on the Maker City, the broad emerging impact of the
maker movement on libraries, makerspaces, science museums, incubators,
schools, companies, and civic government. Nationwide he advises stakeholders
and speaks at conferences. He co-founded and produced the Hardware
Innovation Workshop, MakerCon and San Diego Mini Maker Faire. Frequently he
collaborates with Maker Media and is a Contributing Editor for MAKE
Magazine, writes for MAKEzine.com, the American Libraries Magazine, and
others. In his quest to understand maker movement trends he has visited 28
incubators, 100+ makerspaces, and multiple fab labs while also chairing a
start-up incubator and co-founding a makerspace in Virginia. His broader
agenda can be seen at make.GoodPursuits.com. In a prior life, Travis served
as VP of Technology and Operations for AOL Latin America, where he led the
development of Latin America-specific content and technology capabilities
while launching and scaling operations !
in four countries.
Uyen Tran is the Emerging Technologies Librarian at San Diego Public
Library. She manages the Maker Lab and hosted numerous maker programs for
all ages at the Central Library location. She has been involved with the
Maker Movement in San Diego since 2013. She is passionate about learning new
technologies and all things making. As a maker and an organizer for Maker
Faires in San Diego, she believes libraries can inspire individuals and
empower communities by bringing people and technology together through
programs that promote learning and making.
