3. My website

• Profile Widgets display recent tweets from a specific user.
• Search Widgets display highly customizable search results in real time(like for PaLA2011!)
• Faves Widgets will show all the Tweets you have marked as Favorite
• List Widgets show off a list of users you've curated. Great for showing off a subset of interesting folks' Tweets (I use this to collect local media, campus organizations/offices, our public library's Tweets etc. in one spot on my Blogger pages.)

Our Session

The MobiLibrarian: Jumping the Generational/Technological Fence 

Sunday October 2, 2011 4:30 - 5:30

 

Last Spring, librarians escorted students from Pitt’s iSchool to attend the regional ACRL conference. In support of the conference theme, student volunteers and librarian mentors worked collaboratively to share event sessions with peers and professional/staff colleagues off-site, using a variety of mobile devices and free social networking applications. During this session, participants will unravel and discern the basic technological skills and equipment required for launching similar initiatives to increase access to professional development, develop leadership skills, build confidence and marketability for the next generation of librarianship, and comfortably enter the rapidly evolving technological landscape of today’s high-school and college-aged patrons.
