LILRC Snapshots: 2014 Long Island Library Conference
This year’s 2014 Long Island Library Conference marked the 39th year of bringing Nassau and Suffolk counties
together for an island-wide conference and LILRC participated by sponsoring the program, Creating Authentic Teen
Spaces in Public Libraries, which was presented by Shari Lee, Assistant Professor, St. John’s University.
In her talk, Shari spoke about the issues regarding teen spaces in public libraries and the current research on how design
elements affect human behavior and how this applies to the library setting–specifically teen spaces. She discussed how
often times, teen spaces in public libraries are “teen spaces” in name only. The end result is that many of these spaces
fail to function as spaces that accommodate teens in a meaningful way.
Shari’s presentation demonstrated the significance of space design for teens and the importance of serving this agegroup in libraries. If you missed out, take a look at the presentation,
which is available on the LILRC Continuing Education Blog at:
http://lilrc.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/lilc-2014.pdf.
LILRC staff members (pictured to the right) also spend the day in
the Associations Room and raffled off a free LILRC Annual
Conference on Libraries and the Future registration. Congrats to our
winner—Jill Hollefer, Baldwin Public Library.

Preserving Community Voices with
Social Media
Network Neutrality:
What You Need to Know
Friday, August 1, 2014
Farmingdale Public Library
10:00AM-12:00PM
In January 2013, the NCSU Libraries opened the James B. Hunt Jr.
Library at North Carolina State University. Filled with cutting-edge
technology and inspiring spaces, the Hunt Library aspires to serve as a
model of the library of the future. Telling the story of the new library
was crowdsourced through My #HuntLibrary, a Ruby on Rails
Instagram-based photo project that is both a user engagement and a
digital preservation effort. Photographs tagged #HuntLibrary are
included in a collection that is displayed in multiple interactive views,
ranging in size from a mobile interface to a twenty-foot-wide, curved
video wall by making extensive use of responsive web design
techniques. The entire collection of (over 3,000 and growing) digital
images will be preserved in the institutional digital archives.
This workshop will introduce the use of social media archives as a
method for both engaging users and building more representative
collections. The anticipated research value of social media is that, by
diversifying the points of view of archival creators and channels of
organizational communication, archival researchers and other users gain
a fuller understanding of events, places, and organizations represented
in the archives. While this is still a fairly new area, the presenter will
use his experience with lentil as well as other tools and services as a
starting point for a discussion of the archival potential of social media.
Presenter: Jason Casden, Lead Librarian for the Digital Services
Development, North Carolina State University Libraries.

PROCEEDS TO SUPPORT ‘NEW YORKERS FOR BETTER LIBRARIES’
What’s happening?
On May 15, 2014, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
proposed new rules, written by FCC
chairman Tom Wheeler, which would
essentially allow Internet service providers
(ISPs) to charge websites for faster services.
What does this mean? Companies would be
able to pay money to be in a virtual "fast
lane" for sending content, leaving the rest of
us in the “slow lane.”
What is Net Neutrality?
Net neutrality is the principle that all data on
the Internet should be treated equally.
Content, sites, and platforms should not
have preferential treatment by ISPs and
governments. What does this mean for
libraries? According to ALA, the vitality of
voices on the Internet is critical to the
intellectual freedom that libraries around the
world are trying to protect and promote.
Laws that preserve Net Neutrality are the
best way to preserve a vibrant diversity of
viewpoints into the foreseeable future.
What Legislative Actions are Occurring?
The Online Competition and Consumer
Choice Act of 2014, a bill that would
prohibit paid prioritization over the Internet
was introduced by Rep. Doris Matsui (DCA) on June 17th, 2014. This legislation
would prohibit Internet service providers
from giving preferential treatment to the
traffic of online content, applications,
services, or devices.
