Library 101!

You want to be in a video about libraries, right? We know you do! So take a break from learning about Facebook and scoot over to Michael Porter's (aka Libraryman) blog to learn how you can participate. You may need to learn how to use Flickr to do this. We are planning upcoming sessions on Flickr, but you'll have a head start!

While you're visiting Michael's blog, be sure to check out his first video, Hi-Fi Sci-Fi Library!

Yea libraries! Yea participation!

Pssst: Libraryman is coming to NLS soon - keep your eyes peeled for more info!

Facebook 101 Slides!

So, when I posted yesterday, I was so excited about writing to you that I forgot to post a link to the slides from the Facebook 101 presentations.

In case you want to refresh your memory or want to share what you learned with colleagues, or if you weren't able to join us (sob), here you go:

Thing 1: Facebook 101

Greetings, Library 2.0ers!

First, we'd like to thank you for attending a session of "Thing 1: Facebook 101." Mike and I hope you had as much fun as we did!

By now, you should be getting more comfortable with your personal Facebook account. As we explained (probably until you wanted to smack us), we would like each participant to friend us so we can form an online Facebook community and communicate with each other as we learn about these tools.

Mike and I have begun the process of trying to find you and send friend requests. If you have not received a friend request, it may be because your name is fairly common or because you chose to exclude your profile from the Facebook directory. If this is the case, for the purpose of 23 or So Things, we would appreciate it if you could find and friend US.

Please write status reports, wall posts, and notes to let us know about challenges, discoveries, and treat suggestions for future workshops. : )

You will soon recieve a "Save the Date" flyer with some basic information about our upcoming Things for this fall!
