Register in the CE
Catalog:
http://www.statelibraryofiowa.org/cgi-bin/cecat/
Computerside Chats are monthly, one-hour "chats" in the Wimba
classroom, focusing on a different topic each month. They all follow the
same agenda/format, for each topic:
 | What is it?
|
| What can I do with it? / How can the library use it?
|
| OK, how do I get started? |
In addition, for each chat/topic there will be:
| An accompanying list of additional resources and reading, links to
examples of libraries using the tool or idea and, in many cases, a self-paced
tutorial for librarians to consult for further assistance at their
convenience. (PowerPoint Presentations from each Chat will also be posted
after the Chat.) |
| An additional 1-2 hours of CE credit toward recertification if librarians apply the
information from the Chat and use it in library service. For example, if
the librarian creates a blog for the library s/he will receive an additional 1
hour CE credit. |
| Blog and Wiki for participants to share their experiences,
and the results of their labors. |
