Dear All **Apologies for cross-posting** A huge thank you to all of you who joined in the conversation at CILIP Council's Open Session on how we can use web 2.0 to engage with members and the wider LIS community. By 5:00pm we had 150 people twittering, and 1179 tweets posted. We even 'trended' into the top 10, reaching the No.2 position (ahead of Wolverine and Swine 'flu) at one point. A special thank you to our two speakers: Brian Kelly from UKOLN and Phil Bradley, regular contributor to 'Update'. Their personal thoughts on how effective social media can be as a route for engagement will help us shape our own, as we explore the various features of the landscape they presented to us. Thanks also to our 'official' twitterers who participated in the room, and remotely. They had full editorial freedom of course, no 'party line' to follow. It will take a little while to sift through the tweets, blogs and emails received during the Open Session (and after), and once we've done that we'll share the results and ask for input about the favourite ideas that people want us to try out. We'll keep you in the loop. My final thanks go to the staff of CILIP at Ridgmount Street who joined in the Council's experimental session with enthusiasm and skill, and made sure it all happened on the day. We could not have done it without them. I'll be writing more about the content of the tweets and blogs shortly, so those of you who couldn't join in will be able to get a flavour of the diversity of opinion that was expressed - I shan't be censoring anything, except the spam that came in (it at least is a mark of success for the day, as they only hit the most popular trends!).
