101 to 2.0: Rethinking Reference @ Your Library

Reference in the 21st century can look different depending on a number of factors. Some libraries offer reference in person, some by phone or e-mail, or some not at all. You may have a reference desk, but maybe not. In this interactive workshop, participants will discuss best practices, learn database strategies, and gain a better understanding of the 2.0 attitude in today's libraries. Learning resources that extend beyond this one-shot workshop will be provided.

Cost: $20.00  For more information, contact Shannon O'Grady at 720-587-9857, or Shelley Walchak at 719-650-1090,

Making the 2.0 Magic Happen

You asked for it - and we're prepared to deliver for you!  At the CLiC Spring Workshops in Greeley, Grand Junction, and Pueblo, the Library 2 Point ... Oh! workshops generated a lot of excitement and interest. However, many of you let us know that you really wished that those workshops had been hands-on. We’re happy to let you know that CLiC and BCR are teaming up to make that happen! Join us this summer for a 6 hour hands-on workshop covering the technologies we just skimmed over in the spring. In this workshop, each participant will:

• Build a blog and learn about ways to use blogging effectively
• Create their own (very first?!) podcast, and learn how to incorporate that into their blog
• Create accounts with both Twitter and del.icio.us
• Learn how to use RSS feed "remixers" to push the content they've created to other websites.
• Participate in more focused discussions of how these technologies can be leveraged to promote their libraries

Who should attend:
Anyone who attended the CLiC workshop and was left wanting to learn more. Or anyone who wishes they did!
