Free webinars: Branding & identity, strategies for social media

Anyone can attend these! Have questions about branding, digital identity, influence, reputation management, drop me a line and I'll answer them as part of my presentation. ;-)

The Georgia Library Association
is pleased to announce the March 2011 sessions of the newly retitled Carterette Series Webinars (formerly Wednesday Webinars). The series highlights trends, innovation, and best practices in Georgia Libraries. The webinars feature Georgia speakers, but registration is open to anyone, anywhere, so please forward this announcement to a friend. Topics are chosen to be of interest to employees of all library types, and each session is approved for one Georgia Continuing Education (CE) contact hour. Can't make it to the live show? That's okay--the sessions will be recorded and available on the CSW site for later viewing.
