- What is Your Interest in Library 2.0 (not yes or no)
- I developed and teach a Social Web Literacy class for our staff. Its purpose is to expose everyone working for the library to the Social Web, encourage them to participate in it, and begin thinking of ways to bring the library into the 2.0 world. It's already had an effect. We now have blogs, podcasts, wikis, and Flickr & MySpace accounts. We're developing tagclouds, RSS and wikis for our intranet now. More to come, I'm sure...
I spend much of my time richocheting between websites these days. I write two blogs: a social networking and library issues blog called Library Stream, and book review blog called Mostly NF. But you'll often find me posting photos on Flickr, too.
As a library trainer, I have a blast teaching a Social Web Literacy course (for which there's a class blog -- an RSS feed is below on the left side of this page). Several people have told me the class blog was useful to them just to get a taste of what we cover in the course. If you stop in to look, I'd love to hear what you think of it. Drop me a line in Library 2.0 Ning.
Spinoffs from that class have included library blogs, podcasts, a library wiki, the library Flickr page, a MySpace page, dozens of social sites produced by newly-addicted staff, and an in-depth LibraryThing class for reference librarians. Even more to come... It's an exciting time.
I'm also in LibraryThing and Facebook and on Ning's: ALAmembers and LibrarianBloggers.

Starting LibraryStream
I'm launching a new blog this week and I hope you'll visit. It's called LibraryStream.
My plan is to use this blog to follow the course of social software in general and its value to libraries specifically. I’m the system trainer at a large public library system in the Pacific Northwest, a social web participant, and an avid reader. I hope I can marshall all those hats into an interesting blog.

Social Web class spin-off
Interest in the social web at our library steadily grows. Each time Susan and I teach our Social Web Literacy survey class, we hear about a couple more staff members who have picked up personal interests in blogging, photo-sharing, social cataloging, or some other form of networking.
This week, based on a request from a reference librarian who had attended our social web survey class, I started teaching an in-depth look at LibraryThing. The aim of the class is to delve quite a bit furt

Exposing our entire staff to the Social Web
NOTE: I originally posted this on the ALA Ning, but have since thought that the Library 2.0 Ning is the better place for it. So what follows is kind of a reprint...
Using Michael Stephens' keynote at the Polaris User's Group last October as motivation, we

- Hi Stave, thanks for the comment. I'm glad I'm not alone in my frustration!

- Thanks everyone. Yes, the class is a joy to teach. Some people come into it thinking they know most of what Susan and I are about to cover but by the end of the second hour they're telling us, "Wow! I had no idea how much was happening ou there. My head is going to explode." We usually smile and remind them that the class is only half over. I wish we could teach it everywhere. Or to the public.
Emily: You're right about the trouble making, of course.
Meredith: Sure thing. I love your writing.
Bonnie: Hope your unconference goes well. Wish I could attend.
Melissa: I look foward to swapping photos with you on Flickr.
Janice: There's no place better to hike or bike that the NW!

- Hi Steve, thanks for the invite. Aren't we all troublemakers around here? :)
I love the Social Web Literacy class... I'd love to do something like that for our libraries here. Maybe you can give me some inspiration!
