Session 1 at the SILRC (pronounced Silrock and standing for Southern Illinois Learning Resources Cooperative) Retreat was mine: Social Networking Software in Libraries. I doubt that anyone blogged it....But I talked from a wiki that is publicly viewable. There's also a handout with definitions that I should probably throw up on the web sometime.
This is the third time I've given this talk as a 90-minute overview of web-based social technologies--wikis, blogs, instant messaging, sharing sites, and community sites (although the last two seem to be blending). People seem to get a lot out of seeing lots of library examples in conjunction with short definitions--it helps them understand the similarities and differences.
I'm giving it again on Friday for the Kirkwood Public Library's In Service Day. I'll probably change quite a few of the links to focus on public library examples. Suggestions welcome: joy at moll projects dot com. Also, I think I only get to talk an hour, so if anyone has ideas on what to cut, I'd love to hear it.
The difference between a retreat and a conference seems to be that there are fewer people (about 30) and only one track of sessions. With no choices to make, no room changes, and a reasonable number of people to meet, I found a retreat to be a much more relaxed atmosphere than a conference. I stayed for a couple of more sessions (and lunch) so I'll blog those in the next two blog posts.
