ALA Online Workshop: A More Effective Social Media Presence: Strategic Planning and Project Management
A Workshop with Sarah Steiner and Cliff Landis
A 90-Minute Workshop on September 12, 2012 at 1:30pm (Central)
4F51A Ellis Library
Building a presence for your library on sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn is a great idea, but how do you ensure that you’re doing so in a strategic way that maximizes the benefit to your library and effectively organizes staff time and responsibility? In this workshop, Sarah Steiner and Cliff Landis will show you how to design and implement a social media plan that meets the needs of your patrons and also fits the capacity of your staff. With guidance for assessing your library users’ needs and getting stakeholders on board, you’ll be able to build a strategy from the ground up. You’ll also learn how to manage projects effectively and keep your plan flexible so your library can keep up with the constantly changing social media landscape.
Sarah Steiner is the Social Work and Virtual Services Librarian at Georgia State University Library in Atlanta.
Cliff Landis is Technology Librarian at Valdosta State University’s Odum Library in Valdosta, Georgia.

Snipping Tool – easy screen shots
On Windows 7 the Snipping Tool is available on the Start Menu, or by typing “snipping tool” into the search box. When you open the Snipping Tool a box will appear and the cursor will be ready to capture the image of whatever you select (the box will go away once you start to drag the cursor to capture the image). If you close the box it closes the program, so if you don’t want to see it as you decide what you want an image of, you can minimize it.
If you click on New you have the ability to change the shape you want to capture. Free-form will capture whatever shape you make with the mouse. Rectangular Snip will allow you to capture whatever size image you would like. This is an easy way to capture images if you only want part of the screen or the window you have open. Window Snip will capture the image of whatever window you click on, and Full Screen Snip will take the image of everything you have on the screen. The default is the Rectangular Snip (or whichever “snip type” was used most recently).
Once you have captured your image a new window will open with the image so from there you can save, edit (with pen or highlighter tools) email, or copy the image.
