Library 2.0 webinars I've watched January 2013

These can all be found on the Library 2.0 website. The recordings of the 2012 conference sessions are available for viewing. I always have a long list of sessions I want to watch! Below is the first batch I've watched. Some of my notes on these are rudimentary. As I go back over and review them again, I may update them with more information. For now, I'm just trying to keep track of what I watched, and the jist of what it covered.

Research on the go: Preparing Libraries to be Mobile Friendly. Towards the end it seemed more geared to school librarians, but there were some interesting note-taking and citation tools presented that could be useful to anyone. Want to try some of the note-taking and mind-mapping tools she presented: popplet, mind-blowing, posterous, evernote, easybib, linolt, show me.

Best Practices in University Embedded Librarian work. Very practical and good webinar with lots of detail and ideas for what embedding actually means and what it looks like. Valuable screenshots of a library embedding itself within the course management system. I took screenshots of the screenshots and made my own power point out of them so I could review them later.

Guide on the side: Easy tutorial creation for busy librarians 
I wasn't aware that "Guide on the side" was a product until I watched this. Will have to explore this further.

Building a Medical Library Knowledge Base Using LibAnswers
Another product I was not aware of --LibAnswers

Life After Meebo: Evaluating Virtual Reference Services for Your Library in the Post-Meebo Virtual Environment.
Gave some cool examples of the way incoming virtual reference questions look to the librarian. Will have to review my screenshots, because I can't remember more right now.

Online Vs Face to Face Information Literacy Instruction
Examples of online information literacy instruction and how to assess them

Toward a Sustainable Embedded Librarian program
Library had success with embedded librarian program, but found it took too much time and could not keep up with the demand of growing classes that needed it. Their solution was to purchase LibGuides and use that to more efficiently create embedded content and modules.
