Thursday, February 23, 2012♦ 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ♦ 60 min.

Twitter is one of the best online tools for networking and job seeking. Whether browsing job postings or connecting with people in your field, Twitter offers something for everyone. This session will cover tips and techniques for helping patrons network and find jobs on Twitter, and provide your library with ways to use Twitter in support of job seekers. Learn how you can use "tweets" to extend and augment your library services, showcase the resources and programs you provide job seekers and demonstrate the powerful connections you create in your library community. 

Presented by: Brooke Roegge, digital information specialist, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (@PositivelyMN <https://twitter.com/#%21/PositivelyMN> ); and Andrea Snyder, manager, Job & Career Information Center, Enoch Pratt Free Library/Maryland State Library Resource Center (@JobCenter_Pratt <https://twitter.com/#%21/JobCenter_Pratt> ).

It Takes a Community to Bridge the Digital Divide <https://oclc.webex.com/oclc/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=717699718>    
Tuesday, March 6, 2012♦ 1 pm Eastern / 10 am Pacific ♦ 60 min.

In FCC Chairman Genachowski's announcement <http://www.fcc.gov/blog/fcc-and-connect-compete-tackle-broadband-adoption-challenge>  of the sweeping Connect2Compete initiative to increase broadband connectivity and Internet access across the nation, he listed an impressive array of partners who are joining in the effort. Although he singled out libraries as "vital centers for digital literacy," any effective actions must involve the whole community of players. Join us to hear about the key role that the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is playing in the broadband adoption challenge and the actions already underway for building digital communities <http://www.imls.gov/about/digitally_inclusive_communities.aspx> . And also hear insights on the collaborative roles and efforts of city/county governments and public and private organizations. Learn how to get started with inclusion efforts from organizations who have taken the steps to implement practical programs which meet local needs and share your ideas about collaborative efforts which lead digital inclusion. 

Presented by: Mary Chute, deputy director for libraries, Institute of Museum and Library Services; Ron Carlee, chief operating officer, International City/County Management Association; and David Keyes, community technology program manager, City of Seattle.

Adult Programs on a $0 Budget <https://oclc.webex.com/oclc/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=714059090>    
Tuesday, March 27, 2012♦ 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ♦ 60 min.

In just a few short years, the Laurens County Library, in rural South Carolina, has created an impressive and well attended series of adult programs on a shoestring budget. Join us for a webinar, hosted in collaboration with WebJunction and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries <http://www.arsl.info/> , to learn how the library selects topics, recruits presenters, raises funds, and promotes through effective public relations practices. Find out what Laurens has done that works, what doesn't work, and learn how your adult programming can make your library a valued community hub, building awareness and increasing usage of all your services. 

Presented by: Joey P. Holmes, library assistant at the Laurens County Library <https://www.facebook.com/pages/Laurens-County-Public-Library-System/118287014855617>  (SC)
