Countdown to MLA’s 2008 Annual Meeting
A search for “Web 2.0″ on the MLA’s online program planner yields 107 results. Which means chances are good: if you throw a rock at the conference, it’s bound to hit some type of new media. So here’s the deal: to make things easier for you, I’ve tried to organize & filter these results by the topics we covered in our recently concluded Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools CE. Just click the link below to view.
Incidentally, the SNSTF is having an Open Forum on Tuesday, May 20th from 3:30-4:30 (Regency Ballroom B) to discuss what we’ve done so far. Please attend & join in the discussion!
(Of course, if I’ve left out a ‘must see’, let us know in the comments.)
