Advocacy and Social Networking: Making Connections Work for Libraries

By gdtrinweb on | From libvocate.blogspot.com

T wo terms that you probably cannot go without hearing these days –particularly so if you are in the library and information field - are social networking and Web 2.0 . The two terms, of course, go together, where one, i.e. social marketing , essentially explains what the other, Web 2.0 , is about.

An Afternoon among Montreal's Rats de bibliothèque, Or the Pleasure of Libraries

By marysoderstrom on | From marysoderstrom.blogspot.com

The Grande bibliothèque du Québec —Quebec’s bibliothèque nationale in downtown Montreal--was full of people of all ages at 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon.

The term was, at a time, only associated with the legal profession, for after all, this is what a lawyer is; an advocate: one that speaks on behalf of, or pleads for the cause of another.
