Work on LISZEN caused me to forgo the Purple Library Series post again on Sunday (sorry). I have a draft in progress but I’ve been stretching out my time between the numerous LISZEN submissions, a number of school projects, and work. I want everyone to know that if they have sent in a submission it has been added to the search engine. However, I am running behind on getting them to the LISZEN Wiki. Below are a few other updates I wanted to mention:
New Submission Process
Currently, when submitting a link all one has to do is provide their site information and I do the rest. Soon I will begin asking that others put their site in the LISZEN Site Wiki before submitting. This will allow for quicker turnaround on newly added sites. This is not yet required but if you are reading this consider doing so before submitting a new site.
Collaboration Recognition Project (24/24)
In an effort to rally the troops to tag/delete/edit current sites in LISZEN I want talk about the “what’s in it for you” aspect. LISZEN receives over 400 unique users a day and continues to grow. I am looking for individuals to go over a mere 24 sites. In return your library blog will receive 24 hours of linkage from LISZEN (http://www.liszen.com). If you are a new to the blog sphere and want to gain some traffic be sure to get in on project. I will be giving more information in the coming weeks, but you can email me if you’d like to be notified directly when the time comes.
LISZEN: Trends (The Best for Last)
LISZEN is more of a library community archival tool than a source for new information. So why not create something that allows users to submit and vote on content in order to create a real-time/social library tool? That’s were LISZEN: Trends comes into play. I spent last weekend tweaking LISZEN: Trends and want some user input before it’s released. On November 22nd at 5 p.m. [EST] a form will be posted allowing users to request a sneak peak. You will have until midnight on November 28th to play with the site and follow a small set of testing instructions.
That’s all for now… and as always input rocks my world (so drop me a line).
