I am requesting expressions of interest for a hands-on workshop about social media for librarians with DK, to be scheduled in late February and early March 2013.

The course can only run in locations where there has been enough interest to ensure that we meet our break even number of 15, which is also the maximum number of participants for the workshop.

If you reside outside the main centres and would like to see the workshop run in your area, use your professional networks to gather participant numbers and email me. We will always endeavour to bring an event to a location that meets the break even number.

Please read the workshop information below and complete the form attached here and email it back to me as soon as possible at maree@lianza.org.nz 

Expressions of interest will close on Friday 25 January 2013

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR LIBRARIANS

PRESENTER
DK, justadandak.com/who
DK is a social media guru with an international reputation.  He was a very popular keynote speaker at the 2012 LIANZA conference, where he also held a short social media workshop. His popularity was such that I had a number of requests to ask him to do more workshops for LIANZA.  DK is moving away from presenting face-to-face workshops, so this will be your only chance to benefit from his experience and enthusiasm.

COURSE CONTENT
The workshop will be hands-on, immersive and inspirational with a focus on raising confidence/competence around using social media for the benefit of your library and your own professional development.
Limited to 15 people to ensure everyone gets the time and attention to play/learn.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Attendees will leave with:

• a deeper understanding of social media

• confidence to use several dynamic platforms

• strategies for professional development using these spaces

• ideas for colleagues and use of digital and social technologies in their libraries

• concepts of user engagement for their services

• smiles

PROPOSED DATE
Late February/early March 2013
