New blurb for spring program
Irene and Matt's input on the blurb; I think this is better and more to-the-point.
Collaboration is the hallmark of Web 2.0, with blogs, wikis, podcasting, and social networking sites becoming an ever increasing part of the online environment. How should we harness this approach in libraries? Join us to hear how Virginia libraries are delivering on the promise of Library 2.0. We will discuss how to evaluate, use and integrate the features of Library 2.0 to better reach our current users and potential users. Speakers include:

Anyone want to handle registrations?
All,
Heather Ketron from Ashburn was going to do registrations for the Spring Program, but she has let me know that schedule conflicts will prevent her from doing so. Anyone else interested in this? It basically is
1) Getting registrations and checks in the mail
2) Forwarding the checks to Linda Hahne via US Mail
3) Sending an email confirming registration to each attendee
4) Keeping a list of registrants and bringing it to the program
I can draft another Loudoun person if need be, but if anyone is excited by this set of tasks, let me know. Thanks.
