The Emerging Technologies Committeeevaluates and recommends new and emerging technologies within 75the Libraries’ communication and public services environment. For thepurposes of this committee, ‘‘emerging technologies’’ will be limited toapplications and software that applies to library communications andpublic services.

Twitter Basics
What is Twitter?
Some refer to Twitter as a microblogging platform. Others think of it as a bar a place to gather & share information with other likeminded people. It can also be a very goodmarketing tool.
How Do You Interact With Others On Twitter?
Your friends on Twitter are called Followers.
A general update on Twitter is called a Tweet, which goes out to all of your Followers (and are searchable by any Twitter user, if your profile is not set to "protected").
Tweets must be 140 characters or less.
There are two options for communicating with an individual user:
Direct Message (DM) this is a private message to another Twitter user
The @reply you send out a tweet in which the @ symbol is followed (without spaces) by the username of the user you are replying to.
Forwarding:
To forward a tweet is to send a ReTweet (RT). This effectively passes on anothers' tweet to the rest of your followers.
Some libraries that are texting. More can be found here: http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Online_Reference

RSS Feeds, Table of Contents and Email Alert Services: What they are all about
Table of contents/alerting serivcesFAU Libraries provide access to a number of services for accessing journal tables of contents (TOCs) and research alerts (results of searches you construct and then runperiodically or automatically).
RSS: Keeping up with research What is RSS and why should I use it?RSS is an XMLbased format for sharing and distributing web content. An RSS reader (aka news reader or news aggregator) allows you to view information from multiple websites in a single interface. When you "subscribe" to an RSS feed, your reader will check that web site on a regular basis and show you any new content.
Elsevier RSS feeds in Life Scienceshttp://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/L03.cws_home/rss_life_sciencesClick here for documentation on creating alerts and RSS feeds and using interactive tutorials.
H.W. Wilson documentation for creating RSS feedshttp://www.hwwilson.com/documentation/WilsonWeb/mywilsonweb.cfmUsers will first register to set up their account/profile (“My WilsonWeb”). They will then have the ability to save RSS alerts into their “My WilsonWeb” account and retrieve alertsvia RSS feeds, including any new records that match the user’s alert query. The RSS link will be on the results page and on the Search History page.
IEEE Computer Society RSS Feedshttp://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/dlrssIEEE Computer Society now offers the availability of the latest magazines and transactions content through RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds using XML (or eXtensibleMarkup Language) to automatically deliver new abstracts to your desktop. You can also have a listing of newly published Digital Library magazines and transactions, as wellas recently posted proceedings, delivered to your desktop.
Nature.com Web Feedshttp://www.nature.com/webfeeds/index.htmlThese feeds provide headlines, summaries and links for all the new content published on their respective sites.
Oxford Journals Onlinehttp://ezproxy.fau.edu/login?url=http://www.oupjournals.orgRSS Feeds may be found for the current issue, past 3 issues, or articles published online ahead of print for many of these journals. Other alerts may include "Most Cited" or"Most Read" articles.

Articles discussing emerging technologies and social media in libraries are plentiful, with descriptions of various Web 2.0 tools and how thosespecific tools may be used in libraries (Stephens 2007). Literature that addresses the use of staff in evaluating the increasing volume ofemerging technologies by way of committee vs. dedicated library position is lacking. Exceptions to this include an article by Dorney (2009) onthe hiring of three Emerging Technologies Librarians at Towson University in Maryland and an article by Stephens (2006) that does discussthe use of an Emerging Technologies Committee. Additional literature includes articles focused on staff training programs for Learning 2.0and instances where a department head initiated the implementation of social media within a single department, such as reference ortechnical services (Gross & Leslie, 2008; Chen, 2009; Currie, 2010).
