Take the SNSTF survey

…Even if you took it last time! From MLA-Focus:

SNSTF Survey: We Want to Help MLA Members Connect! The Task Force on Social Networking Software is charged with investigating issues involved in implementing blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, and social networking tools for MLA and its units. Last year’s survey helped us understand your needs and led to the creation of the “Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools” course.

Whether or not you took our previous task force survey, it is important that we hear from you in this survey. Because these technologies evolve so rapidly, we know that opinions are also rapidly changing. We want to see what you think now.

Please take a few minutes before July 31 to fill out the online survey. Your data will affect the task force’s recommendations on MLA members’ social networking needs. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Understanding your doctors and other caregivers

As part of it’s Speak Up™ intiatives, JCAHO has produced “Understanding your doctors and other caregivers” in English and Spanish.  These brochures are provided to empower patients to ask questions about their healthcare to ensure that they understand their treatment.  There are NO copyright or reprinting permissions required to reproduce these for patients.

Web 2.0 101-How’s it going?

I’m doing the Web 2.0 101 course through MLA. I’m really glad I signed up for this. I’m becoming more familiar with different kinds of Web 2.0 software.

Have any comments about how it’s going? Please let the Chapter know how it’s going through your comments!

I created a LinkedIn account yesterday. If any chapter members have an account, please feel free to add me to your connections. I think it would be a great thing to have Chapter members connect with each other through this course.

Networking for Introverts

It’s that time of year again–time for local chapter meetings (MLA-Phil in April, SLA Philadelphia chapter later this month). If you don’t attend often, you might not know your fellow chapter members personally as well as you might like to, and you may feel uncomfortable about attending such events. If this is the case, or if you are an introvert at heart, you might be interested in reading Allison Wolf’s blog post on “Networking for Introverts.”
