Simmons continuing ed courses: online identity and Zotero
I'm teaching two online continuing education classes for Simmons College's Graduate School of Library and Information Science.
Coming up in November, I'm co-teaching "They're Googling You: Online Identity for LIS Professionals" with my friend Beth Gallaway. We'll talk about social networking tools, privacy, self-promotion and blogging tools to help get your name out and represent yourself online in the best possible way, and over the course of the month-long class you'll set up your own personal website.
In March 2011, I'm teaching (solo) "Zotero: Using and Supporting the Research Power Tool," which will include the basics of how to use Zotero, its sync and group features, and supporting and teaching Zotero in a library environment. The final project will be creating a practical application for Zotero in your library. Course readings will include pre-publication chapters of my upcoming Zotero book for ACRL Publications.
Register for either one on the Simmons site. I'll mention them again as the dates get closer.
Adventures in Library Instruction episode 17
New episode of ALI went up today! Anna fans will rejoice to hear her back on the show after maternity leave from her podcasting duties.
We had a loose theme of collaboration this episode: teaching partnerships, campus initiatives and institutional outreach. Hence: Episode 17: Collaborama!
LibGuides presentation
Earlier this week I gave an online presentation about LibGuides for the GALILEO initiative here in Georgia. Once again they were good enough to archive it. It's partly how-to/demo and partly suggested best practices and examples.
