Librarian X

This morning I attended two terrific webinars sponsored by the Georgia Library Association and Georgia Public Libraries: The Social Library by Cliff Landis, and Library on the Radio by Charlie Bennett and Ameet Doshi. If you weren’t in the chat room with us, check out the archive.

Both presentations are really worth seeing. Cliff did an amazingly concise job of presenting his take on social media for library outreach, and Charlie and Ameet talked about the genesis of their library radio show “Lost in the Stacks” (on which I made a guest appearance earlier this summer). Cliff is the first hour of the archived presentation and Charlie and Ameet start at 1 hour 15 minutes.
