Each
virtual chat will take place from 1pm – 2pm, eastern. YALSA President H.
Jack Martin and Crystle Martin, Postdoctoral Researcher for the Connected
Learning Research Network, will be the moderators for these free virtual chats,
which will look at the roles social media and teens play in the future of
public and school libraries. Crystle and Jack will facilitate discussions with
Paula Brehm-Heeger, danah boyd, Renee Hobbs, Lee Rainie, Chris Shoemaker, Joyce
Valenza, and many more about the challenges surrounding leveraging social media
in library programs. YALSA members are invited to participate and to share what
has or has not been working in their own libraries. Participants will explore
best practices from across the globe to implement in their library.
Participants
can watch in real time, connect via Chat with others, and ask questions on Livestream, watch live on the Connected Learning Google+ Page, and contribute to the
#futureoflibraries conversation on Twitter. Be sure to check the YALSAblog
the month of May, where discussions will continue there as well. After
the last session, connectedlearning.tv and YALSA will put together a free
summary report with tools and resources for librarians and library workers to
use in their library.
