I had a chance to use the guide by cell idea that Jackie mentions below. A
couple of art galleries in D.C. were set up for it. I stood in front of the
painting and listened to the artist describe how and what he did, then moved
on the next painting and pressed the next number without redialing
everything. As a person with a modest cell phone plan, I was grateful I was
on weekend rates! Barbara

Subject: [CALIBK12] ALA highlights: technology
Let's post ALA highlights on CALIBK12 (or your blogs) by category so we can
better discuss new ideas, trends, and such.
ALA highlights: technology
ALA highlights: advocacy
ALA highlights: (pick a heading)
I'll go first. See my technology blog at http://2cooltools.blogspot.com/ or
text version:
LOOK. LISTEN. LEARN. One of the first exhibits that jumped out at me was
GUIDE BY CELL <http://www.guidebycell.com/gbc/> . It is a way for libraries
and museums to offer self-guided tours of their library or special exhibits.
Sounds great for an Open House or special fundraising events. It lets you
create self-guided audio tours accessible through cell phones. Visitors use
their own equipment. NOTE -- when I say "you" it means either you use your
own voice or recruit others such as a volunteer with a special voice,
members of the drama club, student library assistants, local celebrity --
you are in charge, so you decide.)
Here is how it works:
1. Record the tour. Librarian calls a unique phone number to record
audio prompts, just like recording voice mail. Or upload existing audio
files (interviews, sound effects, songs) into a specific prompt number.
2. Identify exhibits. Post small numbered identifier signs next to
items in your tour.
3. Visitors guide themselves. To access the audio guides, visitors call
in using their own cell phone, then select the item they want to hear. Easy.
Visitors may remain connected throughout their visit, or hang up and call
back as desired. They may listen to descriptions in any order.
Think about all the visitors, decked out with their finest new hands-free
cell phone devices (jewelry), touring your library -- what a Grand Night Out
@ the Library. See http://www.guidebycell.com/gbc/
HOW WOULD YOU USE THIS IN YOUR LIBRARY OR SCHOOL? Would this be a good
candidate for the CSLA exhibits in Sacramento? Would it work as a library
treasure hunt? Week #1: Tour of Reference Section. Week #2: Tour of
Banned Books. Etc.
Would your special education, ELL, or other teachers find this to be a
useful tool for their students?
Best wishes.
- Jackie
