Steven M. Cohen and Chrystie Hill are writing a book about libraries building community, and they'd really appreciate if you could help by filling out their survey.

Michael Stephens has already posted the presentation about social software and libraries we did at last week's Texas Library Association conference, but you can also access the PBwiki I created to link all of the URLs for the 60 Sites in 60 Minutes program that Susan Skyzinski and I did the day before.

I went through most of the actual sites, but Susan spent the first half-hour talking about various methods librarians could use to do similar presentations for their own patrons. Remember, you can do something as simple as 10 Sites in 10 Minutes or 30 Sites in 30 Minutes or whatever. It's a fun idea to think about, especially if you can group the sites around a theme for the summer reading program, a programming event, or a current event.

We encourage any librarians that try this out to add links to their presentations on the Library Success Wiki (which was one of our 60 sites, of course!), so I've created a 60 Sites in 60 Minutes section of the Library Success Wiki just for this purpose. Share your success stories, tips, presentations, and whatever else there!

Not only does my home library do gaming and have a Flickr account, but their brand-spanking-new bookmobile hit the streets this last week. It's pretty damn cool!
