The Web 2.0 Tech Kiosk still needs volunteers for Saturday afternoon and
Sunday morning! Even if you don't consider yourself an expert, we'd love to
have you around to share what you know!
Have some knowledge of Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis and social
bookmarking? Then the Web 2.0 Tech Kiosk wants YOU! We are looking for
volunteers to share their knowledge with other ARLIS/NA Conference
attendees. The Kiosk is an informal setting to ask questions about various
new technologies; start a dialogue on how libraries are using them and have
hands-on time with the resources. Volunteer staffers help their colleagues
to question, learn, and explore what’s going on in the world of social
software and how art libraries of every type can take advantage of these
tools.
Benefits of volunteering:
· Sharing your knowledge with others and adding to the art librarianship
dialogue
· Expanding your network of ARLIS/NA members
· Gaining instruction experience in an informal setting

*The Web 2.0 Tech Kiosk was developed as a way of introducing art
information professionals to the tools and uses of Web 2.0 technology. At
the 2008 Annual Conference of ARLIS/NA, the Tech Kiosk invited attendees to
get hands-on instruction in setting up a blog, posting to a flickr account,
subscribing to RSS feeds, creating a wiki, and more. The goal of the kiosk
was to provide a one-on-one learning experience, in which visitors could
discover free tricks and tools and walk away with some hands-on experience
and knowledge of how the world of art information is changing. What we
found was that one-on-one became many-to-many, and before long visitors were
all asking questions that led to other questions and inspired new ideas for
other kiosk visitors. While the tech staff provided most of the answers, it
was the questions that prompted the real learning, on both sides of the
table!*
