"Gutenberg Parenthesis”
or ……Living the dream!
Eisenstadt (a Gutenberg scholar): the book did not take on its own form until 50 years after it was invented by Gutenberg. Printing was originally called "automatic
handwriting." [horseless carriage]
The Web at 25+ Overall verdict:
The internet has been a plus for society and an especially good thing for individual users

Is the “Gutenberg Parenthesis” a foundational concept that can
help us in reconceptualising directions for school libraries?

In talking about school libraries and the essential paradigm shift that is taking place, Stanley (2011) highlights three areas of influence:
Information fluency — using search engines effectively; evaluating online information; collaborating in virtual environments, and delivering material resources online.
Digital citizenship — understanding responsible and ethical use of information, and maintaining safe online practices.
Digital storytelling — reading, writing and listening to books in many formats; creating, collaborating and sharing in a range of mediums.

Digital literacy
“reading and writing in a digital environment, in order to position where the literacy action is taking place
and that it can be authentic, multimodal, far reaching, multi-tool, and code interdependent”

from one another but about the interaction of these literacies

Evolving Learning Landscape
Current thinking about 21st century skills, and the learning experiences that support their development, are essential starting points for capacity building. A list of the workforce skills presented by Davies, et al (2011, pp. 8-12) include:
• Sense-making • Social intelligence • Novel and adaptive thinking • Cross-cultural competency • Computational thinking
• New-media literacy • Transdisciplinarity • Design mindset • Cognitive load management • Virtual collaboration

Sustainable learning involves a pedagogic fusion between environments, tools, formats and meta-literacy capabilities.

How should you, your library AND technology connect?

More content, streams of data, topic structures, (theoretically) better quality - all of these in online environments require an equivalent shift in our online capabilities.

Rather than simply identifying a useful page, these systems try to pull the information from those pages
that might be what a user is looking for, and to make this immediately apparent.

A blog about search, search skills, teaching search, learning how to search, learning how to use Google effectively, learning how to do research. It also covers a good deal of sensemaking
and information foraging.
For several years people have been fascinated by small, robot-
like figures popping up in city streets and other innocuous places. These figures, now
documented in flickr pools and blog posts from cities arose the
world, can be attributed to Stikman (sometimes searched for and referred to as "stickman"), an
anonymous graffiti artist, sometimes perhaps going by the alias "Bob," who has been putting
these images up since at least 2006.

Search for 'painted yellow man robot'
yielded 'stickman' for a better explanation.

Modelling exemplary use of
social media, search engines,
and collaborative research strategies.
The natural limitations of search has resulted in expansion of choice in information curation.
The traditional social bookmarking sites like diigo, pearltrees, Scoopit, and others enable users to save information. Products like pinterest allow for collection of visual artifacts, allowing users to organize them into infinite categories.
http://www.teachthought.com/featured/how-google-impacts-the-way-students-think/
But recent software has taken this even further, with apps like Learnist, mentormob, and even InstaGrok providing more structure to how information is not only discovered, but sequenced and applied.
Diigo is a social bookmarking site that allows users to collect bookmarks, annotate them and share to groups or lists.
Pinterest is a pinboard-styled social photo sharing website. The service allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections linked out to sites of origin.
Learnist is a social curation and sharing site that integrates with other curation opportunities such as Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter
Livebinders is a great way to creat your own information resources, evidence, documentation, and more. It’s easy and it’s visual and a great opportunity for collaborating, organising and sharing resources.
Scoop.it allows users to create and share their own themed magazines designed around a given topic.

Creative Commons licensing allows for reuse of a image (and other intellectual content) under certain conditions. The licensing is easy to understand and having students select how they want to license their own work is a great way to get students thinking about copyright, reuse and

Curriculum projects
The focus of the project was to facilitate deeper learning in our students by creating an ‘authentic learning’ experience to strengthen writing and literacy skills across the curriculum. In English, students learned about the literary conventions of forensic fiction in their crime novel, Framed, and how to use them to solve a crime. In Science, students learned about how use a variety of scientific methods including analysing dental records, fragments and fibres, fingerprinting, shoe-printing and DNA samples in order to solve a crime.
Body in the library
Curriculum projectsEach boy received a forensic workbook – containing a range of materials for examination such as crime reports, witness statements and a coroners report. In addition the ‘crime scene’ was taped off, with key evidence on display e.g. fingerprints, the location of the body, and places where DNA was found. Photographic evidence included the injury reports (fake bruising and blood on the victim), video footage of the scene of the crime (staged by students and teachers) and also hard hitting interviews.

O’Connell, J. (2011). Body in the Library': A cross-curriculum transliteracy project, in L.Marquardt & D. Oberg (Ed.) Global Perspectives on School Libraries: Projects and Practices, Berlin, New York : De Gruyter Saur.
English curriculum• Study of forensic fiction and different sub -genres of mystery fiction
(this also provided an opportunity for supporting literature displays in the library)
• Study of famous fiction forensic films/novels/characters• Character and plot analysis, including the relationships of clues,
events, and people in solving a crime.Science curriculum• Study of forensic science and the scientific method required (this provided
an opportunity for non-fiction book displays in the library)• Crime scene basics, protocol, techniques, scientific evidence. • Police techniques for investigating a murder. i.e., interviews, ID parade,
CTV security images.
What is really at stake?
• Communication
–sharing thoughts, questions, ideas and solutions
• Curation
–collecting and reflecting on what we encounter
• Collaboration
–working together to reach a goal
–putting talent, expertise and ‘smarts’ to work
• Critical thinking
– looking at problems in a new way
– linking learning across subjects and disciplines
• Creativity
– trying new approaches to get things done
– innovation and invention
