Generation Archives 2.0: Tools for Promoting Your Archives on the Web

Description
This workshop will explore more than 20 free-to-inexpensive Web 2.0 technologies that archivists can use to promote and market their digital and physical collections to an ever-expanding globally connected community.

Participants will learn what Web 2.0 is and what it means for archives and will visit a number of websites to see first-hand how archivists are using Web 2.0. The workshop will consist of a mix of demonstrations, case-study examples and lively group discussion. Participants will also learn planning strategies for implementing these tools, including developing policies and allocating staff resources.

NOTE: This course is designed for individual participation. Regardless of whether you attend as an individual or as a group, the fee for this online workshop will be charged for each person who views the session. All participants must register separately.

Who Should Attend
Although the class is geared toward archivists, staff from libraries and cultural heritage organizations who are interested in promoting digital and physical collections on the web will benefit from this class. The class will appeal to beginners as well as to organizations that are already starting to use Web 2.0 and want to learn more about different tools.
