Notes on slide 1

By now, I’m sure that most of you have heard or read something about social software, whether that’s hype or analysis, or predictions. Today I’m going to talk to you about what’s really going on with these tools – How libraries are using them How library patrons are using them And how when you leave here today, how you can be using them too. By the way, this whole slideshow, along with my notes is available online if you'd like to check it out.
