Twitter users—or those who want to give Twitter a try in a meaningful way—check out this announcement from the Special Library Association. Unfortunately the live action isn't at a convenient time for Australians (except insomniacs), but it will be interesting to have a look after the discussion.
Focusing on how to build and communicate a strong identity for ourselves, our information centers, our field, and our professional association, this hour-long Twitter chat will help attendees consider the benefits of branding.
Q1 (first 15 minutes): How do you want to be known professionally, within both the field and your organization? If you had to create a tagline for yourself, what would it be?
Q2 (second 15 minutes): How can info pros build their brand online? Which tools and processes do you like best, and why?
Q3 (third 15 minutes): What steps have you taken to brand your library or info center? How do you promote your workplace within your organization?
Q4 (last 15 minutes): As information professionals, how can we brand our profession? Do you still identify with the title of librarian? Why or why not?
