Meeting minutes

Here are the minutes from our last meeting.

Training and Hands-on Sessions

I have uploaded a few images for you to review when you have a moment. After our last meeting, I think we resolved how and where the training and hands-on sessions will occur on staff development day.

Please send me a quick email if you would like for me to send you the actual Publisher file. You may want to print that file in color for further review. If you have other ideas or a better suggestion, please leave a comment or post to this blog.

Thanks,
Karen

Adding an RSS feed

At the bottom of this page, there's a link that says Subscribe to Post Atom. Click on this. You'll get a page of code, but the only thing you need is the address in the address box. Click on it to select it and do an Edit, Copy.

Now go to your athenslibrary.org mail and click on the Feeds tab (across the top: Email, Contacts, Feeds is last). Click the Add Feed button. Paste the URL you just copied into the URL box and click Continue. It should come back with the name of the blog and then you just click Save.

You'll get an update when someone adds a post, but not when someone adds a comment.

Speakers!

We have our speakers now. Karen Schneider, moderator of PubLib and author of the Free Range Librarian blog, will be our kick-off speaker in the morning. If you're not familiar with her or her work, definitely check her out at Free Range Librarian. She is the author of The User is Not Broken meme, which is well worth the read if you haven't already seen it. I'm very excited that she is going to be our speaker.

Carrie's professor, Dr. Christina Jaskyte, will be the afternoon speaker. You can read more about her at her website.

We're off to a great start!

Web 2.0 - The Way to Go!

Since we’re going to be training most of the staff on Web 2.0 sites, I thought a blog would be a great way to communicate. We can discuss ideas here, and you can set up RSS feeds to know when the blog has been updated. See? Web 2.0 has practical uses in our everyday lives.
