My annual workshop for Libraries and Information East Midlands is on better social media for libraries.

This is a two part webinar delivered for the Northeast Florida Library Information Network

Part 1 is on the 12th, Part 2 on the 13th - these will both start at 10am Eastern time.

This is part of the online training I'm doing with PiCS in 2017.

Time and date

The training will take place over two sessions a week apart, each lasting two hours.

• Digital Tools Part 1) July 10th. 3pm - 5pm AEST

• Digital Tools Part 2) July 14th. 3pm - 5pm AEST

Course Content

This online training covers several useful online tools to help modern libraries communicate. They're all free to use, they all help solve existing problems, and they're all available to use right away (rather than being some kind of 'future trend' which is still a couple of years off...) 

Tools and concepts covered include marketing with video, online publishing platforms, augmented reality, mobile and apps, and geolocational platforms. 

In week one learn whats new, take away and test it out. Come back in week two and share with the group your experience. 

Format

These will be interactive online workshops, using GoTo Training software. Delegates will log-in on their PCs, and we'll run the training and provide tech support, plus all the slides and materials and an online booklet with the tasks and instructions in.

Booking

You can book onto this course via the PiCS website - go to pics.com.au/events-2/58-digital-tools-and-emerging-technologies-for-libraries/ or click the image below. The cost is A$320 excl GST. This includes all the materials to cascade across your own institution.

This is part of the second wave of online training I'm doing with PiCS in 2017. There will be three separate courses, done across a couple of different time zones for the Australasian library world. They're all communication themed, and the second set are on digital marketing and online tools.

Time and date

The training will take place over two sessions a week apart, each lasting two hours.

• Digital Tools Part 1) June 13th. 9am - 11am Auckland time.
• Digital Tools Part 2) June 20th. 9am - 11am Auckland time.

As well as hands-on exercises, there will be chances throughout to ask questions and interact with other delegates, just as you'd expect in face-to-face onsite training. All the content and materials are tailored for the online environment and I've got this whole thing down to a fine art, it works well.

We've left a week between the two parts because there will be some ideas to go away and play and things to try out between sessions. In this particular course it'll be all about trying out the tools and emerging technologies we discuss.
