Let the blogging begin

This is SJRLC's inaugural post!  Following up on last week's workshop with Michael Stephens, SJRLC has created this blog to keep South Jersey libraries up-to-date on all relevant activities, news, trends and ideas.  The Connections blog will be a little more informal than our official website, and we invite you to participate with us by sharing your comments, feeds, blogs, pictures and posts.  Let's think of this as our "web 2.0" sandbox.  Are you ready to play?

As promised, the handouts from the workshop and the results from our brainstorming session on July 20 are available here.  If you would like to add (or, um, revise) anything on the brainstorming list let me know by leaving a comment on this post. We've also posted some pictures from the event to our new Flickr account. 

Now I saw some amazing looking blogs being created in the lab.  Let's see what y'all have come up with!   If you're willing to share, send me your blog (and/or Suprglu) links and I'll start adding them to the sidebar. 

So add us to your bloglines, and we'll add you to ours.   Thanks everyone, I can't wait to see where this leads!
