While I have not been blogging here, I have been playing with Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and assorted other Web 2.0 social networking applications. Last week, June 20, I attended the Mississippi Library 2.0 Summit at Mississippi State University. It was nice to see people in person when I usually communicate with them via e-mail or Facebook. The opening session speaker was Sarah Houghton-Jan, who blogs as the Librarian in Black. She was in black that day, and spoke on (.ppt) Sustainable Web 2.0 Services for Small and Underfunded Libraries. I attended sessions on wikis, Flickr and how to present your identity in social networks. I presented a poster, “Living and Thriving! In a Library 2.0 World,” done with JSU Director of Distance Education Sherri Restauri. I also tried to tell everyone I could that JSU Library had an opening for public services head.
