My 2.0 Developments

At the last ALA Annual, I accepted the responsibility of serving as the Web Coordinator for ALA LAMA. I coordinate efforts with various other content organizers by making sure templates are used correctly, that training is provided as needed, and acting as a sounding board as needed. I also have been challenged with helping LAMA's leadership utilize Web 2.0 technologies and principles to meet the needs of users.

While not officially announced yet, the new services are being developed. Take a peak at the ALA blogs to see the future of LAMA on the web. Both blogs are still being developed, so watch for a formal announcement in the near future.

Following ALA Library 2.0, I developed the teaching bug. This fall semester I have been teaching LIBS100 (Introduction to Information Literacy and Research) at Bryant & Stratton College in downtown Cleveland. The curriculum committee at Kent State University School of Library & Information Science has accepted my proposal to teach a Web 2.0 in Libraries 2-day workshop. I will post more details here as the details are finalized. I am very excited that my alma mater recognizes the need to prepare the newest librarians in this area.
