If you can't beat ’em, join ’em.

Don't miss the October 10, 2006, SirsiDynix Institute presentation by well-known experts Sarah Houghton-Jan and Aaron Schmidt who will discuss ways in which libraries can use free tools already available online to reach young users. Rather than attempting to mold young library users into miniature librarians, libraries should start meeting their needs to ensure that we are supported in the future. We must listen to these "digital natives" and begin providing services in the manner in which they expect - in their own space. Join Sarah and Aaron as they discuss ways to serve teens on their own turf, by creating a teen-friendly environment in your physical library and in your library eBranch, and by providing the resources and services teens want, when and where they want them. Other topics to be discussed are MySpace, iPods, and weblogs, instant messaging, and video gaming.

Register now to take part in a FREE webinar that is sure to further your understanding of the importance of integrating popular online tools in your library.
