Hello Oregon!<br><br>At this year's Oregon Virtual Reference Summit (<a href="http://www.oregonlibraries.net/summit" target="_blank">www.oregonlibraries.net/summit</a>) we learned about Storify.com from lightning talker Rick Stoddart. Storify is a digital story telling tool. We thought it was so cool that we made our own and wanted to share it with you. <a href="http://bit.ly/r0c3yx" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/r0c3yx</a><br>
<br>Storify enables users to pull in content from social media on the web and turn the content into a story. It includes the ability to find images in Flickr, connect with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and many other sites. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. A good starting place might be the video of Rick's Lightning Talk. <a href="http://vimeo.com/25565284" target="_blank">http://vimeo.com/25565284</a><br>
<br>Rick also made an example Storify for his lightning talk: <a href="http://bit.ly/paDEJt" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/paDEJt</a><br><br>Thanks, Rick, for teaching us!<br><br>We hope you enjoy our Storify and maybe you'll find occasion to use it for your own library or event.<br>
<br>We'll see you at next year's Summit!<br><br>
