Have you heard about this "Library 2.0" thing? Want to learn more about it and how it can help you and your library? You’re in luck!
On September 14, 2007, HSLM and other Minnesota organizations will sponsor internationally known library technology speaker and author Michael Stephens for a day-long Library 2.0 event.
Michael will kick off the morning with an introduction to Library 2.0. The afternoon session will be based on his book, Web 2.0 & Libraries: Best Practices for Social Software.
You can register for either the morning or afternoon session, or for both. Registration is discounted when attending both sessions. The morning session, Introduction to Library 2.0, includes a continental breakfast with registration. The afternoon session, Best Practices in Social Software for Libraries, includes lunch.
The event will be held at the Radisson Hotel in Roseville, MN. The Radisson will provide free parking and free wireless access for attendees, whether you want to blog the class or just try out some of the tools during the breaks. We plan to have some fun and games, too. If you ever wanted to try out Dance Dance Revolution or Second Life, this will be your chance. If you've never heard of Dance Dance Revolution or Second Life, come learn about them!
