RAFIA/BRETT

Origin

Rafia :SPEC Kit, Blogs, etc. THAT Camps

National theme

Traditionally, librarians engaged in transactional service.

Many of us are beginning to engage in collaborative work.

RAFIA: Due to collaborative work, need blueprint, (birdhouse example). Make service visible, reduce accidental commitments, increase positive experiences.

Local need

<a href='http:&#47;&#47;digitalhumanitiesmiscellania.blogspot.com&#47;2015&#47;07&#47;note-on-data-in-visualization.html'><img alt='Dashboard 1 ' src='https:&#47;&#47;public.tableau.com&#47;static&#47;images&#47;Bo&#47;Book1_3533&#47;Dashboard1&#47;1_rss.png' style='border: none' /></a>
RAFIA/BRETT: self-imposed timeline, diff expectations, lack of clarity in roles. Talk to people in your institution.

At the beginning of a project

External partners may have

  • Expectations that are higher than possible
  • Expectations that technology does not allow
  • Expectations that do not coincide with strategic priorities
  • Expectations that are unfair
RAFIA/BRETT: Wrote doc 24 hrs, issues w/ external partner

Librarians tend to have

  • Inclinations toward saying, "yes"
  • Inclinations toward gold-plating
  • Inclinations toward not expecting shared credit
  • Inclinations toward providing seamless (invisible) service
RAFIA: Issues with library culture

Resistance to adoption

BRETT: Fears- accountability, structure, rigidity. Do not fear: not building the house yet, just creating the blueprint.

During and after implementation

  • Attribution
  • Publication
  • Conference presentation
