If you want to extend your services and meet your patrons online, wikis might just be one way to accomplish this. In late August, CTLS is presenting a new TANG workshop entitled "Working with Wikis." In this beginning, hands-on workshop, we'll explore what a wiki is, how wikis work, and share examples of uses to support and promote library programs and services. Suggested guidelines for implementation of wikis will be presented as well as ways to discover the best wiki tools for your needs. Presenter Martha (Marty) Rossi is the Educational Specialist for Library Services & Media at Education Service Center, Region 20, in San Antonio. In this position, she is charged with supporting and promoting librarians and library services throughout the 15 counties served by Region 20 as well as helping to manage the integration and administration of statewide database programs for K-12 schools. She started her career as a database administrator and has worked in various arenas such as hospitality, education, and health care. Marty has served in school libraries at the secondary level and was the director of the medical library at the Baptist Health System. She holds a Master's degree in Information Science and her professional interests include information seeking behavior and the evolution and use of diverse technology applications in libraries; in other words, she's a self-proclaimed library geek. The workshop will be presented at these two locations: * Wednesday, August 29, 2007 - Learning Technology Center/Library, McLennan Community College Library, 1400 College Drive, Waco, TX 76708 (see attached map) * Thursday, August 30, 2007 - San Marcos Public Library, 625 E.
