OCLS and Library 2.0

Q: Describe how you see programs like The Orange Seed and Orlando Memory as being important to yourself and how they are important to the Library.


A: Orange Seed seems to be a great tool for employees to post ideas for consideration. Allowing for anonymity can be helpful to employees that want to raise an issue and not feel as though there will be any outfall from doing so. I also like the feature that staff can post comments. I think this tool increases staff morale and provides a great avenue for the administration to tap into what is on the minds of staff.


Orlando Memory and the kete idea is wonderful. Stories and memories are past on from generation to generation, but OM provides a forum where the initial happening, feeling, smell, look and touch won't be lost in translation. Capturing these moments in time are valuable in looking toward the future.
