OCLC publishes 2011 annual report to the membership<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3020080&l=30085&ctl=401E264:C073EF2ACA43AF3407FA2DEB2ED3419B5322110E03D1DAAD&>

In the report, Jay Jordan, OCLC President and Chief Executive Officer, wrote that the economic downturn notwithstanding, libraries maintained their strong use of OCLC systems and services in fiscal 2011.

Members of the OCLC cooperative used OCLC to:

  *   catalog 449.9 million items online and via batchload
  *   add 38.9 million records to the WorldCat database
  *   arrange 9.6 million interlibrary loans
  *   perform 58 million end-user reference searches on the OCLC FirstSearch service
  *   perform 160.7 million click-throughs from partner sites on the Web to the WorldCat.org<http://WorldCat.org> landing page
  *   add 12.4 million records to WorldCat for digital objects via the WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway.

Jordan also noted that the cooperative’s strategic initiative to build new Webscale management services with libraries continued to grow. Thirty-seven libraries acquired these services in fiscal 2011, and 24 of them went live.

On her Museum 2.0 blog, Nina Simon, the Executive Director of The Museum of Art & History<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3020080&l=30085&ctl=401E27D:C073EF2ACA43AF3407FA2DEB2ED3419B5322110E03D1DAAD&> in Santa Cruz, California, USA, and author of The Participatory Museum<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3020080&l=30085&ctl=401E27E:C073EF2ACA43AF3407FA2DEB2ED3419B5322110E03D1DAAD&>, recently posted, “Fifteen Random Things I’ve Learned about Design for Participation This Year.” Among her insights:

  *   Cut your instructions down to as little text as possible.
  *   In contrast, people will read signs that explain how their work will be/was used, or that the giant sculpture of metal fish they are looking at was made by visitors.
  *   Put out seating for two or more with every activity. People will talk about what they are writing or making.
  *   Have a game plan for what you’ll do with past visitors’ contributions as you prune to make room for more.
  *   “Make and share” is more powerful for many people than “make and take.” Most people—including kids—want to display their creations, not keep them.

The remainder of her ideas are good, practical thoughts for anyone setting up an interactive event of any kind.
