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."

Something of interest from the Booklist blog
The Booklist blog has an entry about technology in the library with a link to the Educase website.
The link is here
Here is the link to a paper available on Educase on Undergraduate students and Technology:
http://www.educause.edu/Resources/ECARStudyofUndergraduateStuden/217333
Another Educase article recommended by the blog post about information technology in the library "3.0" is at:
http://www.educause.edu/EDUCAUSE+Review/EDUCAUSEReviewMagazineVolume45/You30TheMostImportantEvolvingT/218701
Both have valuable information for librarians and the evolving library.
