Size doesn't matter: Technology and innovation for libraries of every size and any budget
Sarah McCormack, Community Liaison Librarian, Medicine Hat PL (she plays hockey!)
Prezi problems!
Where do we begin?
Social media
...YouTube video with all the facts and funky music
free does not always mean free...some times free basic, but cost for more + staff time to learn
pulled twitter feed onto their home page, under “news and events”
co-tweet: twitter management (like hootsuite)...check them out...allows scheduled tweets (good for program info...do whole newsletter in advance)
(feeling like I know all this...good for TBPL!)
MHPL has 150 likers
YouTube
did a funky video for the Summer Reading Game last year
shortgrass lib system does videos about their Database of the Month...good idea! Consider for 2012! ...or even the rest of 2011
Wikipedia
edited own entry...did not mention anything re flack about shameless self-promotion like we got...hmmm...interesting
Digital advertising
use Tvs as we do
began with ppt via a network
then discovered ScreenScape...free for non-profilts...super easy to use...check it out and tell TT!...might make that job easier
they take their Tvs to trade shows with a slide show...cool idea
MHPL gets grants to fund public internet / technology classes...wow...wonder if that's an Alberta thing. Grant called L.E.A.R.N. (check it out)
