W16 – Slam-a-Thon! Slam the Boards

Sunday, April 6, 2014
1:30 PM – 4:30 PM
, Digital Services Librarian, Arlington Heights Memorial Library

Since 2007, librarians have been going online each month as part of “Slam the Boards” to visit their favorite social Q&A sites (Yahoo Answers, Quora, etc.) and provide well-sourced answers there. In the process, they promote reference librarianship to the question-askers in a venue where librarians aren’t expected. Join this face-to-face, interactive “Slam-a- thon!” for some serious fun … and maybe even some serious questions. Check out the concept at http://bit.ly/1aEEF1b, and come prepared to step outside the usual reference desk environment and encounter “askers” who may never have even thought about approaching a librarian with their questions. It’s an easy form of outreach that makes librarians (and libraries) more visible in general. Please note that this workshop will be a participatory online activity, in which attendees will be answering questions on various social Q&A sites. Attendees are responsible for bringing their own laptop or other mobile device for use during the workshop.
