New Library Development Blog -- Check it Out!

Good Morning Everyone!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Things have been very busy and exciting around here. We're getting ready to start offering Web2.0 classes to state government employees, I'm getting ready to hit the road for the Rural Library Sustainability workshops and last week Library Development hosted an awesome technology institute. I hope that some of you were able to attend.

For those that did not get to attend, don't worry, you can still get all of the information in two ways. First of all, Library Development has started a new blog. You can access it by going to http://librarytrax.wordpress.com/. Felicia Vereen has posted a wonderful summary there complete with photos of the large crowd (more than 250 librarians!) and the speakers (Steven Abram, Jenny Lavine and Michael Stevens). It was truly one of the best events I've ever attended. If you didn't make it this year, be sure to tell your Library Director that you want to go next year because I know we will be doing this again.

The second way that you can learn more about these Web2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networking sites, rss feeds, etc... is to attend one of our sessions specially designed for public libraries. Library Development will be offering these after the first of the year so I will provide more updates on this once the session content and dates are finalized.

As always, please feel free to post comments here or to send me questions or topics that you'd like to see addressed. Have a great day!
