success stories of library staff who are using <a

tools to host virtual conferences, produce e-learning activities, collaborate
with remote staff, and host virtual meetings. As budgets tighten and as
technologies improve, more and more staff are gathering together both online
and blended with face2face settings to learn from each other and to get work
done. Come hear about the benefits of meeting virtually and learn how a variety
of web conferencing tools are being integrated with other technologies and in
other settings to overcome both cost and distance. Join panelists <a

<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Social media has
dramatically changed how nonprofits and libraries communicate with supporters,
donors, and volunteers. Most nonprofits in the United States now use social
media in their communications and development strategies, but few have been
properly trained on how to best utilize sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and
YouTube. Your library's return on investment (ROI) in social media is directly
related to whether your staff fully understands the long-term implications of
social media and are knowledgeable of each sites' unique functionality and
toolset. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Operation Smile, an international health organization, their Holiday Gift
Catalog allows supporters to donate $60 to purchase hospital gowns for 10
children who received surgical services from the charity; a $75 donation funds
all the supplies necessary for one surgery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>All libraries want to put
patrons at the heart of their service but how do we make this a reality and not
just an aspiration? Rachel Van Riel will talk about the reader-centered
approach which <a href="http://www.openingthebook.com/">Opening the Book</a>
has developed with libraries in the UK. Moving beyond the concept of readers'
advisory, the reader-centered approach involves active intervention to open up
reading choices, to offer opportunities to share reading experiences and to
raise the status of reading as a creative act. This way of thinking has
energized library staff across the UK to engage with their customers in new
ways. Whether you work in policy making or on the library floor, you will find
inspiration and practical ideas to make your library service truly
reader-friendly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
