Keynote Session:
Laura Solomon, OPLIN: Web 2.0: An Overview for the Layperson

.  "There's a lot of buzz around Web 2.0 and the online services that have
been labeled as such. What are Flickr, del.icio.us, and RSS, and what can
they do for your library? Is your library missing the boat or avoiding the
hype? Get the low-down on these and other aspects of Web 2.0 in terms that
don't require a techie translator."



Breakout Session Topics Include: 

.  Instant Messaging Reference Services: "This session will show users how
they can start their own IM reference services, or how they might enhance
their existing service. The session will cover staffing, training, technical
issues, and marketing." Chad Boeninger, Ohio University 

.  Web 2.0 mashups: "How to use services like Meebo, Facebook, Twitter,
FLickr, and Del.icio.us, together to create enhanced services." Glen Horton,

.  Embedding Web 2.0 Services into a Library Website: "Learn to embed
application like Google Calendar, maps, Meebo, Flickr, YouTube, etc." Glen
Horton, SWON 

.  People are talking about you... "But do you know what they're saying? You
may have spent a lot of money or time on marketing your library, only to
have your library's reputation severely damaged by one angry blogger. How
can you track this kind of activity, and how can you mitigate negative
commentary? Learn what tools are available to help monitor your library's
precious online reputation and some strategies to protect your library's
brand."Laura Solomon, OPLIN 

.  Using del.icio.us as a Collection Development Tool: "Social bookmarking
is Delicious! Learn how using Delicious can enhance your existing library
collection. This breakout session will show ways that libraries can offer
patrons increased access to foreign language learning materials, frequently
requested government forms, local and regional information, primary source
databases and much more." Laura Dowler, Denison University 

.  Blogs, Wikis and Your Library Patrons: "In this session, Laura will
introduce the applications of blogs, wikis, and RSS in a library setting.
Various online blog and wiki services will be introduced. Demonstration of
blogs and wiki creation will be included in the presentation." Laura Cheng,
Kent State University 

.  ReTAGgr- You're it!: "Retaggr is your interactive Web 2.0 business card.
Express your personality, use it as a business tool, for personal branding,
or let it bring more readers to your blog. This is a great and easy to
promote any existing blogs, wikis or reading lists associated with your
library. This hour check out what it does and how to get one started for
you. Come check it out-you're it!" Mary Leffler, SERLS 

.  Wikis in Libraries: "This session will demonstrate how wikis can be used
in the library setting. The session will highlight personal experiences and
reflections on using wikis for over three years. Topics include technology,
staffing, and lessons learned." Chad Boeninger, Ohio University 

	

Program Description:
Meebo. Twitter. Del.icio.us. Wiki. Skype. It may sound like strange martian
gibberish but it's the language of Web 2.0 and these days, everyone is
speaking it. Fortunately, learning how to use these online tools to enhance
your library's services is probably much easier than you would expect.
Attend this conference and learn how libraries can harness the creative
power of web 2.0 applications to reach patrons in ways never before
possible. You don't need to be a "techie" to attend this event, anyone in
charge of implementing or coordinating library services will come away with
many new and exciting ideas!
