3 3 I. What is “ MyLibrary Calendar ” ?

4 4 What is “ MyLibrary Calendar ” ? 1.It is a single personalized integrated platform for library patrons to collect and manage HKBU Library’s calendar events/records, 2.It uses iCalendar, the standard calendar format, which is supported by various electronic devices (e.g. BlackBerry, Palm, Pocket PC) & computer applications (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal, Mozilla Calendar, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Windows Vista, Mozilla Lightning/SunBird).

6 6 II. Mission of “ MyLibrary Calendar ” Project

7 7 Project Mission 1.To strengthen the publicity of HKBU Library’s services, facilities & outreach activities, 2.To streamline the communication between the Library and the patrons, especially in the distribution of circulation records, library emails & records of library facilities reservation, 3.To let patrons use their own personal calendar computer applications as a single, one-stop-shop personal platform to collect & manage library calendar events/records.

8 8 III. Background of the Project

9 9 Background 1.Popular use of electronic calendar applications in busy city life  With the advent of information technology, more & more people use personal electronic calendar applications instead of paper-base calendars to manage & plan for their personal and/or work schedules, exchange and share calendar events with their families, friends, colleagues, etc.,  Using a single calendar application is logically convenient & ideal for any city-dweller who wants to manage & plan for his/her multi-facet city life efficiently.

10 10 Background (Con ’ t) 2.“Library life” is part of a library patron’s bustling city life  Our library patrons also have a busy “library life” with active library circulation activities, use of library facilities and participation in library events & outreach activities,  Patron’s “library life” is dynamic,  Libraries should enable their patrons to include their “library life” activity schedule in their personal calendar applications.

11 11 Background (Con ’ t) 3.Library-patron communication  Reliable & efficient communication between the library & its patrons is essential for library quality services,  Library information should be current & updated regularly,  Automatic & easy-to-implement information transmission is an ideal & cost-effective communication method,  However, communication takes place in different channels at present.

12 12 Background: Library-Patron Communication Three basic types of information transmitted in library-patron communication channels: 1. Library public events & services, 2. Patron circulation activities, 3. Library facilities reservation.

13 13 1. Information on Library Public Events & Services i.Updated library services, facilities & outreach activities, e.g. opening hours, exhibitions & workshops, etc. are announced on HKBU Library homepage as “Library News”, ii.But there are multiple “Library News” announcement home pages, http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/lib/new/news.htmlhttp://www.hkbu.edu.hk/lib/new/news.html.

14 14 HKBU Library news homepage

15 15 2. Information on Patrons ’ Circulation Activities i.Patrons’ circulation activities are recorded in different systems & transmitted via different channels Innovative Millennium & HKALL circulation records –circulation records containing data of loan due dates & fine, etc. are available & retrievable in “My Library Account” http://hkbulib.hkbu.edu.hk/patroninfo/, http://hkbulib.hkbu.edu.hk/patroninfo/ –email notifications of pre-due alerts, overdue, recall, pickup are sent to the patrons’ personal email accounts.

16 16 Patron’s “My Library Account” (Innovative Millennium)

17 17 2. Information on Patrons ’ Circulation Activities (Con ’ t)  ILLiad circulation records –loan records are stored & retrievable in ILLiad system http://lib- nt.hkbu.edu.hk/api_form/illiad_login.asp,http://lib- nt.hkbu.edu.hk/api_form/illiad_login.asp –email notifications of pickup & overdue are sent to patrons’ personal email accounts.

18 18 Patron’s ILLiad account

19 19 Emails from Innovative Millennium & ILLiad systems sent to patron’s email account

20 20 3. Information on Library Facilities Reservation i.Patrons can reserve group study rooms, group viewing rooms at HKBU’s main & branch libraries through an “Online Room Booking Systems”, ii.These systems were developed by the Systems Section in 2005. [ Li Yiu On. "Innopac Patron API & Online Room Booking Systems in HKBU Library", a presentation at the 6th Annual Hong Kong Innovative Users Group Conference, Hong Kong Lingnan University, 8-9 Dec., 2005, http://hkiug.ln.edu.hk/meetings/am2005/presentations/12-HKBU- OnlineRoom.ppt ] http://hkiug.ln.edu.hk/meetings/am2005/presentations/12-HKBU- OnlineRoom.ppt

21 21 3. Information on Library Facilities Reservation (Con ’ t) iii. HKBU Online Room Booking Systems adopt a decentralized model containing 4 interfaces:  Main Library Group Study Room http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libcir/gsroom/, http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libcir/gsroom/  Main Library Group Viewing Room http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libmlc/gvroom/, http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libmlc/gvroom/  Chinese Medicine Branch Library Study Room http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libcml/gvroom/, http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libcml/gvroom/  Shek Mun Campus Library Group Viewing Room http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libsm/gvroom/, http://lib-nt.hkbu.edu.hk/libsm/gvroom/ iv. Patrons reserve rooms & check their own reservation records in different interfaces.

22 22 Current Library-Patron Communication Systems & Channels Types of Information Communication Systems & Channels Millennium & HKALL circulation records “My Library Account” ILL loan recordsILLiad system Millennium & ILL emailPatrons’ email accounts Online room bookingIn-house booking systems Library public news & announcements HKBU Library home pages

23 23 Drawbacks of the Current Library- Patron Communication Systems 1.Diversified information storage & access channels  Information is scattered & distributed in different isolated systems,  Different types of information is transmitted to patrons via different channels,  Patrons need to check, collect & record information from individual system, web page or platform.

24 24 Drawbacks of the Current Library- Patron Communication Systems (Con ’ t) 2.Dependence on patrons’ initiatives  Success of the current communication systems depends on patrons’ initiatives to check for updates,  Otherwise, they will not know the changes, e.g. book recall shortens loan period, new pickup notification,  Patrons find repeated manual checking time- consuming & tedious, this in turn discourages them to check for the updates.

25 25 Drawbacks of the Current Library- Patron Communication Systems (Con ’ t) 3.Data & record structures affecting calendar management  The scattered data is NOT organized in any calendar format for easy browsing,  Data CANNOT be transmitted to patrons’ personal calendar applications automatically & integrated with their own personal & work calendar events and/or schedules,  If patrons want to record all their circulation activities, library email messages, library news & announcements in their own calendar applications, they have to add them individually. This is a tedious chore.

26 26 IV. Description of “ MyLibrary Calendar ”

27 27 Subscription Procedures 1.How do we exchange & share calendar data on Internet?  By using an international standard called iCalendar, we can exchange & share calendar data in different calendar applications on Internet.

28 28 Subscription Procedures (Con ’ t) 2.What is an iCalendar file?  iCalendar specifies the file format for storing calendar data,  Almost all new personal calendar applications support iCalendar format now,  iCalendar files have an extension of.ics,  A definition is available in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar

29 29 Subscription Procedures (Con ’ t) 3.An example of iCalendar file  iCalendar file is a text file in which the format is defined in terms of a MIME content type,  For example: (from RFC 2445 or RFC2445 Syntax Reference) of an iCalendar object that defines a "MLC Group Viewing Room" reservation event occurring from Oct 31, 2007 22:00 (UTC) through Oct 31, 2007 22:30.

Shift in power”. Librarians Matter. Sep. 10, 2007. http://librariansmatter.com/blog/2007/09/10/whats-new- about-library-20-shift-in-power/http://librariansmatter.com/blog/2007/09/10/whats-new- about-library-20-shift-in-power/.

75 75 Merits – HKBU Library (Con ’ t) “ MyLibrary Calendar ” brings about shift in power & new library-patron relationship in three different aspects: i. The power of the user to choose: Patrons can choose how & where to check for the updates in circulation records, library emails & other library information,

76 76 Merits – HKBU Library (Con ’ t) ii. The power of the user to create their “library”: Patrons can create their personal integrated library calendars containing library circulation records, emails, notices, data of facility reservation and events in their calendar applications, iii.
