What emerging trends are changing library
services? What does the connected world of "continuous computing"
mean for 21st Century libraries? The Hyperlinked Library MOOC
offered by the School of Library and Information Science at San José State
University provides a roadmap toward becoming a participatory, interactive,
user-centered library.
The Hyperlinked Library MOOC is a professional
development opportunity designed for information professionals and those
interested in the topic. The MOOC is not offered for academic credit. SJSU SLIS
graduate students who participate in the MOOC will not receive credit toward
their master's degrees.
Course Description:
The term “Hyperlinked Library” describes how
our connected world is transforming 21st Century libraries into
participatory, playful, and user-centered spaces while upholding traditional
values. It encompasses both physical and virtual space,
as well as many types of libraries.
The Hyperlinked Library MOOC will examine
various participatory theories of library service, the impact of emerging
technologies on libraries, and the growing focus on a creation/curation
culture. Students will explore the definition of participatory service, some
key trends that impact the Hyperlinked Library model, and examine what the
shift means for libraries and information work in today's digital information
age.
Students will experience an interactive online
learning environment via a wide range of tools and diverse materials (e.g.,
freely accessible readings, recorded presentations from practitioners, and
online videos). Students will be encouraged to explore these resources and
engage with peers and instructors, heightening their learning and taking full
advantage of this professional development opportunity.
SJSU SLIS assistant professor Michael Stephens
developed and created the Hyperlinked Library course over the last few years,
drawing on experiences working with libraries located across North America and
internationally, including Germany, Australia, Turkey, Switzerland, the
Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. He will pull in global experts and
resources as part of the Hyperlinked Library MOOC learning experience.
Assignments:
MOOC students will expand their learning by
completing assignments such as:
· Director's brief - an overview of the origins and usage of
emerging technologies in libraries and information environments
·
Emerging technologies plan - a roadmap for implementing emerging
technologies
·
Social media policy - guidelines on how to use social media
·
Community engagement plan - strategies and ideas for serving our
members
Instructors:
SJSU SLIS assistant professor Michael Stephens,
PhD, and lecturer Kyle Jones, MLIS, along with course assistants, will be
the instructors for the Hyperlinked Library MOOC. Both instructors also teach
in the fully online Master of
Library and Information Science (MLIS) program at the SJSU School of Library and Information
Science.
Stephens has spoken about emerging
technologies, innovation, and libraries to audiences in more than 27 states and
eight countries, including a research tour of Australia and presentations for
the U.S. embassies in Germany and Turkey. He has authored numerous articles,
and he currently writes the monthly column "Office Hours" in Library Journal magazine, exploring
issues, ideas and emerging trends in library and information science education.
Jones is a doctoral student at the University
of Wisconsin, Madison, and teaches on topics related to digital tools, trends,
and controversies. He is the author of several publications, including a book
chapter in "The LIS Professional Commons and the Online Networked
Practitioner" with Stephens.
Assessment:
The Hyperlinked Library MOOC is a not
for credit professional development learning experience. This course
emphasizes student involvement and fosters an open and welcoming environment of
thoughtful dialogue. Students are encouraged to participate in online
discussions, collaborate with other students on assignments, and provide

Instructors will provide informal assessment

course. MOOC students will receive a certificate upon successful completion of
required components of the course.
