Dynix Institute Web Seminar
February 27th, 2006It looks like the folks at SirsiDynix are making the library blogger rounds these days. There are lots of us doing these institutes. Today, mine went up, as did Alane Wilson’s, Greg Schwartz’s (no, we don’t share the same job), and Meredith Farkas’s.
I’m excited for my first real chat about libraries being the center of community building. Here’s the abstract:
“Based on parts of previous writings by Kathleen de la Pena McCook (A Librarian at Every Table), Cohen will discuss how social networks, public space theory, and online communities can be used by libraries in any setting (public, academic, and school) to build social capital and become an active part in community building. Learn how other libraries of all sizes and budgets have become active participants in their communities and how a process-based approach can incorporate the above theories into practical methods for community building”
A far cry from my previous talks on RSS, Blogs, etc. How refreshing.
