Pinterest is an exciting new social networking service that uses visual media to promote ideas. John LeMasney will give a broad overview of Pinterest and explain how to use it to promote your personal and organizational brand. With Pinterest, you can follow others, and others can follow you; pin visual items, like photos and videos, to categorical boards and repin others’ pins that you find interesting. You can collaborate with others to make collective boards. You can like things that you enjoy but that are fleeting or less categorizable; pin things that you find online, or things that you upload yourself. Pinterest takes the best parts of Diigo, Twitter, Facebook, and other networks and gives them a very pretty, unified face. It is a quickly growing network, with phenomenal adoption rates, and users who often say they are addicted to pinning.

What are the current trends in open access? Many librarians consider open access to be one of the most important topics in scholarly communication and want to learn more about scholarly publishing, development of repositories, research impact, and global benefits.

Mullen is the author of the 2009 book Open Access and its Practical Impact on the Work of Academic Librarians: Collection Development, Public Services, and the Library and Information Science Literature and has a special interest in practical realizations of open access in the everyday work of librarians.

More and more libraries are looking for a way to make dynamic, easy to edit websites. Many of these libraries turn to powerful content management systems and then find that they have taken on more than they can handle. WordPress has gotten a reputation as a blogging platform, but many are using it for their entire website – including libraries. This workshop will walk librarians through the basics of using WordPress as a content management system for their entire library website.

‘Great WordPress workshop last week. I went in not knowing even how to spell “WordPress” and came out thinking “This is the best thing I have ever seen; we need it for our library website yesterday!”’ – Satisfied Student.

By the end of this program, participants will…
…Know what they need to install WordPress
…Be able to find and choose from existing templates/designs
…Be able to add and edit website content using WordPress

Nicole Engard is known in the library world for her blog “What I Learned Today…” as well as her many publications including her book “Practical Open Source Software for Libraries.”
