Get involved! All current SOA members are invited to a strategic
planning session on Nov. 1. This event will be the first of three
sessions that will result in a strategic plan for the organization by
April 2008. Facilitator J.D. Britton of the Ohio Historical Society will
lead the group through SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
threats) analyses for both SOA and the field of archives. This is an
excellent opportunity to shape the future of SOA and learn more about
how to do strategic planning at the same time.

We may have heard about blogs, wikis, social networking, photo sharing,
and folksonomies, but what is Web 2.0 and why do archivists and
librarians need to know about it? This workshop will explore the
opportunities and challenges that Web 2.0 offers to archivists and
librarians and offer simple tips on how you can implement Web 2.0 tools
in your institution. Familiarity with the Web is a plus, but technical
expertise is not required for this workshop. Sessions include: 

*	Exploring Libraries (...And Our Users) In The Web 2.0 Realm
(Brian Gray, Case Western Reserve University) 
*	Second Life 101 (Laura Solomon, Cleveland Public Library) 
*	Archives 2.0: A Survey Of Library, Archives And Museum Projects
Using Web 2.0 (Kiffany Francis, Cleveland State University) 
*	Web 2.0: Getting Your Archives/Library On Board (Janet Carleton,
Ohio University and Whitney Townsend, University of Michigan)
