Hi,
 
Many thanks to everyone who responded regarding my questions about online book groups and blogging. Here's the summary of the answers I received:
 
1. Do you have an online book group? What software/application do you use?

 
No one had an online book group.
 
 
2. Do you have a blog or any social networking presence?
 
A number of organisations had blogs:
 
http://harrogatelibraryproject.blogspot.com/

http://uollibraryblog.wordpress.com/
 
http://scienceleicester.wordpress.com/
 
as well as a personal blog:
 
http://thecabinetofcuriosities.wordpress.com/
 
 
Social networking presence included Facebook:
 
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Harrogate-Library/21503867078 

and Twitter, though most were personal accounts and there was only one repsondent who had a organisational account:
 
http://twitter.com/northyorkscc
 
 
3. If yes to either, how did you convince your organisation that it was a good 
idea?

	* Run it for a month 'unofficially' and then present them with a full working model, so they can see content etc.
	* Blogs etc had already been done before
	* Set up a library IT development group to look at ways of utilising Web 2.0 and have stressed 
 
David Tanner, from North Yorkshire County Council also said:
 
 We have stressed the following
-  that for the library to successfully market itself it has to be where the users are, and not rely on them visiting the corporate site.
- that these are just another (free!) marketing tool
- its a way of engaging with your community 24/7
- national government is increasingly looking to see how local authorities are utilising the web
- excellent tie in with the latest CAA assessment regime (see below)

 
I also went to a very useful event run by Sound Delivery called 'The Social Media Exchange'. More information about the event can be found here:
 
http://socmedex.ning.com/
 
and
 
http://socialmediaexchange.org.uk/
 
There were also a number of sessions about it at Umbrella, hopefully more information about these will appear on the conference website soon.
 
Many thanks,
 
Helen Dahlke.

***Apologies for cross-posting***

Hello,

We're currently looking at ways to involve people that might not be coming 
into our libraries at the moment. We're especially interested in starting an 
online book group and a blog. I have some questions that I'd be grateful for 
some help with!

1. Do you have an online book group? What software/application do you use?

2. Do you have a blog or any social networking presence?

3. If yes to either, how did you convince your organisation that it was a good 
idea?

I will summarise answers for the list.

Many thanks,

Helen Dahlke
