Changing the Way Libraries Do Business: Meeting the Challenges of the Web 2.0 World

Come hear five experts who wished for change and then made it happen, through Web 2.0 technologies and more. You’ll walk away from this day-long session, co-sponsored by OCLC Eastern and SOLINET, with practical information you can implement immediately at your library.

Speakers include:

Playing to Learn in the Summer of ’07: How 23 Things Opened the Door to Web 2.0 for Maryland Public Library Staff by Jennifer Howell (Western Maryland Public Libraries)
Maryland is the first state to launch a statewide Web 2.0 self-paced learning program for public library staff. The program, Maryland Libraries Learning 2.0, is based on a Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County (NC) program. This session describes the program and its impact on library staff and services.

JMO, HTH! Social Networking in Academic Libraries by Jamie W. Coniglio (George Mason University on Public Services)
This session overviews social networking activities at various academic libraries, including experiments and experiences of the Fenwick Library Reference Department at George Mason University

LibraryThing for Libraries by Kate Sheehan (Darien Public Library on Automation)
LibraryThing for Libraries has provided a fun and easy gateway to Danbury (CT) Public Library’s catalog. Learn how Danbury Public implemented this tool and how it can benefit you and your library.

Quem no próximo dia 20 de Março tiver o dia livre pode dar um salto até Atlanta e por 110 dolares (inclui documentação, pequeno-almoço e almoço) pode aprender mais umas coisas sobre a Web 2.0 e de como este fenómeno afecta o trabalho das bibliotecas e potencia a interacção com os utilizadores.
