OCLC Webinar

Not to self promote but I am really excited and wanted to share.  On November 15th(Thursday), I will be presenting on promoting virtual reference for an OCLC webinar.  My presentation will focus on The Director’s Chair YouTube competition and our presence in social networking sites.  Beth Cackowski from New Jersey’s Q&A who is always great to hear will also present – they do lots of very cool promotions….
