Electronic Communications & Surveys:

Wikis & Monkeys & Blogs, Oh My!

 

 

Date/Time:                 Monday, August 8, 2005, 9:30 am – 3:30 pm

Location:                    Tompkins Cortland Community College, Room 105

                                    Downtown Extension Campus, The Commons, Ithaca, NY

Registration:              $55.00/SCRLC members; $70 non-members

Audience:                   Librarians and support staff from all types of libraries, particularly those with reference

                                    and public services responsibilities.

 

Are you wondering what a wiki is??? Have you ever seen a survey monkey? Getting bogged down because you don't know how a blog works? Participants in this workshop on electronic communication will leave with a solid understanding of how to: manage your ever-growing emails, participate in online discussion lists, communicate in an online chat room, describe a weblog,  work a wiki, and choose which RSS (Rich Site Summary) feed is the best!

 

Participants will also be introduced to online survey tools and how to use them to get quality feedback on services. Library staff need these skills both for their own communications and to answer patrons' questions about these information tools.

 

Eric Machan Howd, Tompkins Cortland Community College's Coordinator of Online Learning Services, will lead you through hands-on exercises that will familiarize you with these seemingly alien communication tools!
