public computers, and gain a better understanding of current legal threats to digital privacy and online anonymity. Ann Crewdson and Helen Adams, co-chairs of the ALA-IFC Privacy Subcommittee, will also introduce the newly revised ALA Privacy Tool Kit that

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in">Since the first filmstrip projector made its way into the first classroom, standup trainers have been incorporating video into formal instruction. Used well, it can offered points for discussion, nudged thinking
about what and why and comparison to that. It often made for good conversation and could reach the affective domain when other approaches did not. But when we moved to eLearning we left a lot of that behind: the video clips were uploaded, but the rest of that
experience – the talking and processing – didn’t make the transition. With so many new avenues for delivering video online it’s a shame that we’re not doing a better job of capturing the things a good instructor in a good face-to-face setting can bring.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>May 8 (11 am-12 pm) / Reference Services: Tried, True, and New</b> (WebJunction)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in">Reference is still intrinsic to library services. It is evolving with changing patron needs, varied information resources and new delivery formats. Yet much of traditional practice remains important to providing
quality information services to patrons. In this webinar, we will explore the balance between traditional and contemporary reference approaches, inviting you to join this open space conversation. What methods do you employ for reference today? What works?
What doesn't? How does social media play a role? Let’s learn from each other "how we do reference" so we can find the best fusion of traditional and modern reference service.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in">The development of new media content and the technology that supports it is changing faster than the research needed to study its use and effects. In addition, the issue of new media use with young children,
as it pertains to libraries, is large and complex. Join us for an informative conversation regarding the work that has begun on both the national and California State Library levels to address the needs of young children, new media use and libraries. Learn
about existing research and approaches that can help inform new media practices for libraries. Contribute your insights to the conversation and consider what strategies make sense for you and your library. Even though many unknowns remain and our tools are
still in development, we can all work to support informed, thoughtful, developmentally appropriate responses.<o:p></o:p></p>

bridge the information literacy gap.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in">As your organization starts to implement blended learning, conducting a thorough needs assessment becomes perhaps even more important than ever before. Blended learning requires investments in technology and
training for your development and facilitation teams. Mistakes can be expensive, and may not be uncovered until after your program has been piloted. Because of these costs, organizations can’t rely on proven assumptions about participants, training environments,
or content. It’s best to begin all of your analysis from scratch to make sure you get it right the first time.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black;background:#F8F8F8">In recent years, the term "digital humanities" has been used to describe modes of research, collaboration, and teaching that apply or analyze computational, digital,
and networked tools in humanities contexts. The collaborative, project-focused, and technologically-oriented nature of the field means that information professionals often work alongside scholar-researchers and students. Academic, special, and public libraries
and librarians have played important roles in the development of "dh." This webinar will provide an introduction to the digital humanities using examples of recent projects, and focus on how librarians can contribute to or support the digital humanities through,
for example, maker spaces, digital labs and learning environments, or as managers of data and providers of digital resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
