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. Terry oversees print collections and all Web administration for the Institute, in addition to managing the production of the Institute's eScholarship working papers. He is a frequent presenter at Internet Librarian USA, Internet Librarian International (London) and Computers in Libraries (Washington, DC).
