Solutions for 21st century libraries
During our 18 Hours of Evanced event, Nate Dunlevy from our Support Team gave a fantastic overview of the various social media options that exist. Nat knows his stuff – he also works as a well-known author, blogger and sports writer and uses social media to share his work.
This primer is about 30 minutes in length and provides great info for social media novices and experts alike! Share it with your staff or patrons!

This post was first added to our blog in July of 2011, but we still love this great example of marketing Room Reserve from Schaumburg Township Library!
We are currently in the process of creating both synchronous and asynchronous learning tools for Evanced Solutions customers. Later this week, we’ll be posting new live webinar sessions on our training calendar, but we’re also adding training videos that you can watch any time at http://wiki.evancedsolutions.com. (Look at the “How To” and “Training Video” sections…)
Using new media is a good way to teach your patrons how to use Evanced products quickly. The Schaumburg Township Library District (IL) has been using YouTube to teach their patrons about using Room Reserve. We think it’s a great idea and wanted to share it with you.
