ways to be better prepared for disaster response and recovery. Join guest
presenter Lauren Mandel, research coordinator at the Information Use Management
& Policy Institute at Florida State University's College of Communication
and Information, as she introduces a new key service role, <i>Get to Know Your
Emergency Operations Center (EOC)</i>, to the existing <a
href="http://hurricanes.ii.fsu.edu/">Hurricane Preparedness & Response for
Florida Public Libraries Project</a>. The Florida-based project helps libraries
throughout the U.S. serve their communities through partnerships with fellow
responders (e.g., emergency management, local government and other agencies)
and become a safe haven, recovery center, information hub and evacuee resource.
Come learn how this project can inform your library's disaster preparedness
plan and how your library can play an important role in community preparedness
and recovery by working with your EOC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>In this one-of-a-kind session
we present the details of a ground-breaking social networking-focused
fundraising campaign conducted this year by PETA. This three-month
program leveraged Common Knowledge’s Buzz Triangle program to take advantage of
Facebook, Twitter and Youtube to raise awareness, acquire new supporters, drive
advocacy participation, and most importantly, to cost-effectively bring in
individual donations, exceeding the campaign’s fundraising goals. Join us
for a lively discussion to explore how this innovative campaign finally
answered the question: Is it possible to fundraise on social networks?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Keeping up will all of the
new (such as blogs & twitter) along with the old (such as search results
and news items) information resources can be difficult these days. However,
with RSS you can receive "feeds" of new material from many different
locations into one easy-to-use Web site or program. In this NCompass Live
session, our Technology Innovation Librarian, Michael Sauers, will give an
overview of why and how you can use RSS to receive timely information with a
minimum of effort.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Economic Development Series. The Business Special Interest Group (BSIG) from
the Colorado Association of Libraries (CAL), the Colorado State Library, and
the Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) are pleased to offer a series of three
free 30-minute webinars on Tuesday afternoons in August that will discuss how
you can play a role in the economic development of your community. During this
third session, Suzanne Kaller and Colbe Galston provide an overview and tips
for how your library can: 1. Assist the business community it serves. 2. Create
and implement a business outreach plan to a Chamber of Commerce, small business
development center, community group or government entity.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
