"23 Things for Archivists" Now Open for Business!

This notice appeared in the twice-monthly "In the Loop" email message from SAA.
Please note - you can still sign up!

Would you like to explore and expand your knowledge of the Internet and social media? Are you wondering how archivists currently use Web 2.0 tools and how you might, too? The Reference, Access, and Outreach Section invites you to participate in its "23 Things for Archivists" Beginning program, which starts June 13, 2011. Participants will be introduced to and required to use blogs, wikis, photo and video sharing, social networking, and other tools. Mentors will monitor your blogs, comments made on "Things," and our Meebo chat to offer guidance. You will share your experiences and reflections with other participants via a blog you establish for that purpose. Click here to learn more. If you want to participate or volunteer in the program, e-mail kathryn.otto@uwrf.edu before June 13.
