Being librarians we are inclined to create bibliographies. So here are "a few" sites that you might want to read before the Summit to give you some insight into Library 2.0. If you have other sites that might be of interest please add a comment. ~~ Beth Avery

McLib TV
Did you ever wonder how different libraries are using YouTube to promote their services? Take a look at this video. I was amazed! The folks from McCracken County Public Library have actually created a TV branch for their library. With grant funding, they purchased equipment and now they create, produce, and host programming on the a local cable TV channel. Their website is really nice too! Kudos to McCraken!

ACRL Webcast will help you build a library 2.0 game plan
Want to get started thinking about the changing culture? Here's and interesting program that promises to provide some insights. Based on what Institute of Industrial Relations Library, at the University of California, Berkeley has done.

Practical Strategies for Building a Library 2.0 Game Plan
Webcast Date: May 14, 2007
Webcast Time: 11:00 a.m. Pacific, 1:00 p.m. Central, 2:00 p.m. Eastern Length: 1.5 hours "Practical Strategies for Building a Library 2.0 Game Plan" will help you get started with building a library 2.0 strategy for your library. Past ACRL Webcaster Terry Huwe will describe long-term strategic plans used to "enliven" the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) Library, even as Library 2.0 began to gain momentum. During 2005-2006, IRLE deepened its blogging activity, launched wikis, created a new Virtual Private Network, and more. At the same time IRLE funded the creation of a new, state-of-the-art Library Commons as well as major digitization initiatives. Throughout these processes, the Library organized to "take" services to the populations it wanted to reach. Huwe will outline the practical steps that led to this robust set of Library 2.0 strategies, focusing on both technological and interpersonal skills.
Terry Huwe, director of library and information resources at the Institute of Industrial Relations Library, at the University of California, Berkeley, will lead the Webcast.
