Hello Does any library authority have their own online conference site or discussion groups just for staff use? I'm working on a project as part of a NOF Advanced Roles training course looking at a proposal to set one up for library staff in Nottinghamshire. As part of the NOF advanced training we've been required to participate in online discussions on a range of "issues" and everyone has found it really interesting and useful. We're thinking of the discussion groups covering things like tips for internet/computer use, sharing good practice in terms of promotions/displays, discussing professional issues, etc etc. It would be useful to hear from anyone who does have something like this already set up - how does the moderating/management work? How did you get the conference set up in the first place? (EG, how were Management persuaded it was a good idea?) How well used is it, and do all levels of staff have access/use it? Many thanks in advance for any information you can provide. Sandra Matchett Librarian, Nottinghamshire County Council
