For quite some time now there has been an online movement to show the value of librarians and library workers through a day of hitting the popular answer boards run by search engines such as Yahoo Answers, Wiki Answers and AskVille, etc.

One of the many reasons for this monthly event is to show the relevance of libraries and the quality of answers available from library workers.

It's easy to participate and have fun! Slam the Boards! Blog

I am so excited to be part of SPLAT and to be presenting at ILA this year in Burley!
One of my favorite things is presenting new and fun ideas--and I will be presenting on booktalking in social networks--specifically highlighting Twitter.  5 minutes and 20 slides--can I do it?  Keep your fingers crossed!
Here are some Ignite Boise videos you could watch to get an idea about what we'll be doing:

• Our own Amy Vecchione "Food, What Is"
• Eric Goodkind "You Don't Know How to Email"
• Amanda Patchin "How Being Intentional Alters Ones Reading Experience"
