New Bahamian book launched by Cynthia 'Mother' Pratt

One of our most respected Bahamians has published her biography.  Cynthia 'Mother' Pratt's book is called No Equal to God's Chosen. 
This book chronicles her life growing up in the inner city and shows how she made it against all odds to the position of Deputy Prime Minister of the Bahamas and Member of Parliament for the St Cecelia constituency in Nassau Bahamas.  She hopes this story will be an inspiration to all children who are growing up in the inner city and can't see their way out of their present circumstances.
A sequel is planned on her political life.

Maximizing your internet presence

Hello all

Its been a long time since I've posted.

I found a very interesting piece on maximizing your interesting presence from Lorcan Dempsey on his blog at: http://orweblog.oclc.org/archives/002177.html

It is a resource provided by the Strategic Content Alliance in the UK and is especially relevant to libraries who need to have a web presence in this day and time when most people search for information on the internet. The social media are something that libraries need to embrace to capture the attention of  the young people today to share information and library activities.

"This document has been produced following a very successful series of workshops during 2010, commissioned by the Strategic Content Alliance (SCA) under the title Maximising Online Resource Effectiveness (MORE). The purpose was to promote most effective use of the internet by SCA member organisations, with an emphasis on producing, maintaining, promoting and developing content available as an online resource."
