[Web4lib] Webinar tomorrow "Bringing Web 2.0 into Academic Libraries"

[Amanda Powers]

You are invited to join me and Ellen Hampton, Baylor University
E-Learning Librarian, for what promises to be a lively presentation and
discussion in the form of a webinar hosted by Webjunction tomorrow at
2pm EST.  The description:
 
"When the goal is to be "where they are, when they need us," what does
that require at a university library in 2009? As students, staff and
faculty move their lives online, university libraries must choose
whether to move with them or get left behind. But where is the value in
a university library when Google is the new ready reference desk and the
libraries' resources are increasingly digitized? How does a library
remain relevant in a socially networked academic world? From their
perspective as, respectively, virtual reference and e-learning
librarians, Amanda Clay Powers (Mississippi State Univ. Libraries) and
Ellen Hampton (Baylor Univ. Libraries) will discuss how libraries can
readjust and move their most important resources online—their people. By
using social networks and other web-based technologies, libraries can
become a value-added member of their community— both online and in
person. By using these new tools, librarians can once again hover by
their reference stacks with an offer to help that's just a click away."
