The Cambridge 23 Things programme - presentation to EBSLGpriestcam
The document describes a self-directed social media and Web 2.0 training programme called Cam23 for University of Cambridge library staff. Over the course of 12 weeks, participants will explore 23 different social media tools and technologies. For each tool, blog posts by the project team will provide instruction on what it is, how to use it, and further reading. Participants will create their own blogs to post exploratory and evaluative discussions of each tool and receive a certificate and voucher upon completion. The goal is to expose staff to new technologies, support personal and professional development, and help libraries embrace social media.

It provides guidance on how to properly cite sources and reference work to avoid plagiarism.
The document discusses the Cadbury Archive project to organize, digitize, and make accessible the company's archive that had been stored in boxes. The project aims to bring the archive to life by sorting, prioritizing, indexing, and classifying documents before digitizing materials. This will allow the archive to be accessed through a website that provides context and links to related materials. Completing the project will require time, expertise, and avoiding a "DIY" approach to leverage community collaboration.
The document discusses the need for libraries and librarians to market themselves to address issues like the "Google Effect" and outdated stereotypes. It provides tips for marketing a library service, including identifying user groups and their needs, communicating benefits regularly through newsletters and meetings, getting involved in teaching, and persistently promoting library resources and expertise to remain relevant. Marketing approaches should highlight the unique value libraries provide through resources, training, and subject expertise that supplements but not replaces other information sources.
