I took these photos this morning and edited them in pixlr's online editing tool, <a href="http://pixlr.com/express/" target="_blank">pixlr express</a>. It's a wonderful tool to create amazing images!<br />

If you work in a library in the US, please take a moment to take this survey!<br />
<br />
Thank you for taking time to respond to this annual survey on American libraries using Social Media tools for PR/Marketing. It should only take 10-15 minutes to complete. It is a follow up to a survey of the same type conducted November 2011.
<br />
<br />
SURVEY LINK: <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/annualweb202012" target="_blank">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/annualweb202012 </a><br />
<br />
The survey will close on Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 5:00pm EST.<br />
<br />
Please forward this survey to library colleagues, state library association listservs, Facebook pages, or others who may be interested.<br />

Attendees had lots of great comments and really added to the session. I was really impressed with one attendee who said she makes it a point to meet with her assigned department on her campus once a week! The group exercise went very well and all four groups developed some really great ideas for future workshops.<br />

Yogi Berra cracks me up (as does Yogi Bear, perhaps because
he’s smarter than the average bear. For those who didn’t grow up with Yogi
Bear, look it up). And it’s true that you MUST know your goal before you
get started. You may need to reassess as circumstances change, but you
won’t get very far down the road if you don’t have an idea of which road you’re
on or should be on. Or let me correct that. You certainly can go very far
down the road, but in general it’s not going to get you anywhere near where you
want to go. I know this because I get lost a lot.</div>

very definition of a cause.</div>

</span></span></span>Know the Nature of What You’re Selling: I wrote
several blog posts on this already, so all I’ll say is that you’ve got to know
whether what you’re selling involves inertia or action, is controversial or
easy, is a must-do or may-do decision or is short- or long-term. If you
don’t know the answers to these questions, you won’t be able to set a SMART
goal (see the next tactic).</div>

</span></span></span>Set a SMART Goal: SMART goals are
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. In other words,
you must know what it is you want, when you want it by, whether you have the
internal resources to attain it, whether the external environment makes it
possible and what the timeframe is for a decision.</div>

</span></span></span>Know WHY You Want What You Want (Or Why the
Other Person Might Want That): “You should do what I say because I said so”
works only in parental situations and even there not so much. I can’t
even get it to work with my dog. So you’ll have to have a good reason for
why you want what you’re asking for. And if that reason relates to what
the decision maker may want, you’ll be far more effective.</div>

totally appropriate to say “I don’t know, but I’ll get back to you,” nothing is
more frustrating than having someone try to sell you a product they know
absolutely nothing about, right? In many ways your cause is a product and
you’ve got to be familiar with its nuances if you’re going to convince others
to get on board.</div>

Another baseball player named Babe Ruth knew all this about
knowing what he wanted. He’s the one who, when he came up to bat in the
1932 World Series, pointed to a spot in the stands and hit a home run to that
spot, which won the game. Sure, there’s some controversy over what he was
pointing at and what he intended. The key, though, is that he pointed and
the ball went there. You need to do the same.</div>

I had a great time presenting about the power of PR and everyone had lots of great ideas for promoting their outreach programs. I broke them out into four groups and here's what they came up with. <br />

It was great to see so many comments and interaction among the attendees! Here is the presentation and photos of the results of their group work.<br />

<br />
Attendees were divided into four groups to address the following three things:<br />
1) make a list of social media tools they are or should be using to interact with YAs<br />
2) brainstorm on what could be some innovative uses for social media tools and working with YAs<br />
3) Why does social media matter?<br />

Here is my presentation along with the group project and some photos of what the groups accomplished. Everyone did a great job! The biggest commonality was that no one had any $$$ for a marketing/PR budget for their proposed workshop. This is usually the case and just means you have to be as creative as possible!
