For folks in California, I wanted to bring your attention to these upcoming half-day seminars on social discovery later on this month, registration for which closes early next week. Announcement/Registration: <http://www.califa.org/social_discovery.php> Agenda: <http://www.califa.org/agenda_final.php> This seminar isn't a product pitch about features X, Y and Z of better OPAC. It's an attempt to take a step back and to stimulate thinking among librarians about how the public library can be a focal point of community activity. We'll highlight what we've learned in particular areas (e.g., health information, virtual reference) and provide a model for how the library's online presence can support social discovery and deepen community engagement. --SET -- Steve Toub steve <at> bibliocommons.com (650) 576-9746 Product Manager, BiblioCommons
