Allen County Public Library 2.0 Originally uploaded by The Shifted Librarian acpl.info/ Well done, ACPL! I’m impressed with what can be done with some 2.0 tools, determination and a vision. Indiana libraries should take note.

Building a Social Library Originally uploaded by scampion Hi. I’m Steve Campion, System Trainer for Pierce County Library. It’s honor to be asked by Michael to write a guest posting in his blog because hearing him speak last October motivated me to kick-start an entire social web cirriculum and a flurry of activity here. Susan McBride and I started teaching a popular four hour social web literacy class to staff within two months of Michael’s talk. With the social networking buzz going around, our library system created several public blogs, podcasts, a MySpace page, a very active Flickr page, and […]
Illinois State University Milner Library Library 2.0 Hands On Workshop Originally uploaded by mstephens7 Thanks to all at Milner Library for two great days!

I just finished my first year of classes at Dominican University and I was lucky enough to land in Michael’s Introduction to Library and Information Science class last August. Needless to say, I am very honored to be invited to guest post. I’ll confess: I was a little uncertain about what I could bring to the conversation. I’ve been reading, book marking, and subscribing to the RSS feeds of so many great library blogs since last fall and I’ve read so many insightful and thought provoking posts across the Biblioblogosphere these past […]
Thank you Michael for asking me to guest post to TTW. I enjoy reading TTW and I am a believer in technology but find that there are times when the theory works better than practice. I find that people have to have a comfort level with technology and with their own craft to successfully incorporate technology into their daily work.
