My friend I visited in Philly is actually doing his MA in Library Sciences now at Drexel, so I learned a bit about it when I was there. Fascinating stuff for a researcher, I assure you.

]]> Comment on Brand Monitoring: Warren-Newport Public Library by Nate Gass http://www.theloveuniverse.com/topics/journal/brand-monitoring-warren-newport-public-library/comment-page-1#comment-2737 Nate Gass Thu, 25 Nov 2010 16:49:20 +0000 http://lis768.tametheweb.com/nateblog/?p=44#comment-2737 Hey Amanda, Wow, I was not expecting to hear from anyone at Warren, and especially not so soon. Thanks for reading, and it seems from your comment that at least you thought I was fair in my analysis, which is a relief. I really do love Warren-Newport. I’ve visited a few times while my library (Cook Memorial Public Library) has been closed for remodeling. As I mentioned in my post, I used to work at O’Plaine and I know how much some of the students liked going there after school. WNPL is such a great library and your comment is encouraging to me as someone just getting into the field. For being so new to the social networking landscape I’d have to say that in my opinion you folks are doing an incredible job. A Flickr archive with the Pro account sounds very exciting. I wish you and your library the best and thanks again for commenting. Hey Amanda,

I want to thank you for your great post! I thought your analysis was spot on, thorough and very helpful to get an outsider's perspective. To be honest, at WNPL we're a new to the social media game. Our Facebook and Flickr page have been around since this summer and our Twitter about a month. We're still using trial and error to find our voice in these spaces. I agree fully about the lack of interaction on Twitter and it makes me sad. Our Facebook presence is stronger and I feel it's because we've promoted it more and are starting to be more "social" rather than informative. We're in the process of getting a Pro account from Flickr so we can start posting photographs from our programs, an archive of sorts. We're also getting ready to present a Social Media policy to our Board so we can keep experimenting and exploring new platforms. As you also noted we're starting a major renovation project and now, more than ever, we need to be listening to all channels to identify concerns and issues our patrons have that we might not hear through "traditional" ways. Again, great work and good luck! I had Michael Stephens for a class and know how valuable it was for me. Hi Nate, my name is Amanda Margis and I’m the Web Services Children’s Librarian at WNPL.

We've loved Conan for about as long as we've been friends and somewhere at my parent's house lurks a videotape of us pretending to be Conan and Andy Richter (with guest Nicholas Cage promoting Snake Eyes). Ah, good times. Our history with Conan goes way back!

That trajectory moves from captivity to liberation, and that lens for reading Scripture gives life to some troubling texts. It's great to read about your journey, and how helpful this book was to you.
