[OPLINLIST] David Lee King at Social Media Event - May 6

[Mackenzie Betts]

Social Media for the Social Good

Join the OLC and OHIONET for a special education event on May 6 entitled
"Social Media for the Social <http://www.ohionet.org/training-calendar/650>
Good." David Lee King <http://www.davidleeking.com> 's presentation, Freak
Out, Geek Out, or Seek Out: Trends, Transformations and Change in Libraries,
will focus on the choices that come with technology change - freak out about
it, jump in unprepared, or seek out the best tools and trends for our
libraries - and plan for those! King will discuss the changes a library
needs to make to meet and participate in the new online, participatory
world, and provide pointers to plan for these changes.

Later that day, Debra Jasper and Betsy Hubbard, Ohio State's Kiplinger
Program in <http://www.kiplingerprogram.org>  Public Affairs Journalism,
will present Breaking Through the Noise: Capturing an Inattentive Audience
in a Backchannel World. Jasper and Hubbard will discuss how, in a time of
short attention spans and high expectations, libraries can use social media
to tell more powerful stories and build stronger relationships with
supporters. 

Registration fees include lunch and are $100 for OHIONET members or OLC
Individual Members or staff of OLC Institutional Member libraries and $200
for non-members. Registration <http://www.ohionet.org/training-calendar/650>
is available through OHIONET. 

The event will be held at The Ohio State University's newly-renovated
William Oxley Thompson <http://www.osu.edu/features/2009/library/>  Memorial
Library and an optional tour will take place immediately following this
event at no additional charge.
