SCRLC - Library 2.0 Webinar Series

Greetings -
SCRLC is delighted to announce the first session of our Library 2.0 Webinar Series, Social Networking -- What Does it Mean for Libraries? If you have wanted to learn more about the social networking tools on the web, but find it hard to leave the library, this session is for you! You'll be able to learn about social networking tools, how libraries are using them, and how they may be used in the future at your own computer. You'll be able to ask questions and get answers during the session, and hear those asked by other participants. Complete details and registration information appear at the bottom of this message. Class size is limited and we anticipate a large response, so please register early to avoid disappointment.
SCRLC’s Library 2.0 Webinar Series is designed to introduce library staff members to Library 2.0 communications tools conveniently and inexpensively. The series has been underwritten by the SCRLC Annual Meeting Basket Raffle to minimize costs for participants. Individuals can register for individual sessions or participate in the complete series of five webinars.
