Salt Lake City Public Library Presentations

By

Salt lake city public library Yesterday, I spoke at Salt Lake City Public Library’s staff day. I actually gave three presentations – one keynote and two breakout sessions… all three were extremely fun talks!

Salt Lake’s staff day theme this year was “Transform.. Adapt… Grow.” Transformation is a strong theme with them right now – for example, take a peek at what one needs to submit for their current Library Director opening: “The package should include a paper resume and directions to your digital presence, blog, or social networking Web site.” Wow.

Anyway, here are some links to the two presentations I gave:

And as promised, here are the links to all the websites I mentioned in the keynote (in the order they appeared, I think):

Tampa Bay Library Consortium Presentation

By

Tampa bay library consortiumI just gave an Introduction to Web 2.0 presentation in Tampa, Florida (here’s the link to my presentation) at the annual meeting of the Tampa Bay Library Consortium. TBLC members – you rock!

Everyone else – seriously, they DO rock. In my short time there, I watched them mention a teen YouTube contest and during the meeting, they were grabbing attendees to make a video about libraries (also going up on YouTube).

And a librarian told a heartwarming story of how her library’s outreach efforts were touching the lives of troubled teens – tears were flowing.

TBLC – thanks for inviting me to speak!
