I want to personally welcome you to the SLA Heart of America Blog! This blog is intended to keep you better informed about what is going on with SLA HOA and in the general information profession. This medium will allow us to keep you informed about upcoming programs, membership, and hot issues in the SLA community.
As the acting President of the SLA HOA Chapter, I will be the featured blogger for the time being. However, I will be providing others with the capability to post, so you will be seeing others contribute to the blog in the future. The intent is to have a dialog with all the SLA HOA members, so I want to see lots of comments!
We have a program coming up in a couple weeks that I am really excited about. Jonathan Mast, who is one of my colleagues, a guru of social media, and generally nice guy is going to be answering all your questions about blogs, twitter, etc... He is extremely knowledgeable and is responsible for all the social media at Black & Veatch. I hope we see everyone at the Plaza Library on January 20th!
Event: Social Media - What does it all mean?
Date: Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
Time: 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.
Place: Kansas City Public Library - Plaza Location
Hillary, Thanks for the opportunity to speak to your group this month. The blog is a great way to get started in social media and share information.
There are so many ways to engage in social media it can seem overwhelming to get started. I look forward to sharing some ideas and having a good discussion on ways to incorporate these new or in some cases old forms of communication with new names.
