Library 101: More Than Just a Pretty Face
The newest video from David Lee King & Michael Porter debuted at Internet Librarian to a room full of people and a live remote audience thanks to streaming by the Shanachies.
Library 101 is more than just a video, it’s a project with a website that includes essays from libraryland leaders about what Library 101 means to them. It also has a great source page that lists 101 Things to Know.
Disclosure: I’m in the video and listed in the blogs on the Things to Know page (no pressure right?)
PS The video made Boing Boing!!!!
