The American Library Association is hosting a webinar on how libraries are using social media tools (puhleeze, let's get away from the Web 2.0 talk - we're way beyond that!) for advocacy.
But what about using these tools for authentic community engagement? (i.e., the members of the social network actually contribute knowledge, are a part of the community, have equal status, and are engaged in working on something meaningful together)
I can't attend this seminar, but I'd love for someone to attend and report back on the possibilities. How can we use the ability to connect people to institutions and to each other online to foster relationships, interactions, group information-sharing, group problem-solving?
See details below. If you can participate, please add your insights to this blog.

Believe it or not, Twitter, Facebook, Linked In and other Web 2.0

efforts. Join Dr. Curtis Rogers (South Carolina State Library), Kristin
Murphy (ALA Washington Office) and Stephanie Vance (Advocacy Guru), for this session on how libraries can use social media techniques to capture the

Washington, DC! If you?re wondering how to use Web 2.0 to get heard on
issues that matter to your library, this is the place to
