With the world gone mad for all things digital, it's hard to remember 
that many organizations are still struggling at the rudimentary levels 
of online activities and technical innovation. However, there is a great 
deal that a small institution can do with little or no money. Archivist 
Jessica Steytler will examine available options, illustrated by examples 
of her work at the Congregational Library (currently undergoing a 
transformation from quiet and sleepy library to study center of the 
future). Technologies that will be discussed are wikis, Google 
Documents/Partnership, Ning – the alternative to social networking, and 
RSS feeds. Participants will have a chance to explore these tools during 
the class.

Faculty: Jessica Steytler, GSLIS Alum, Archivist, Congregational 
Library, Boston, www.congregationallibrary.org; jessica.steytler at gmail.com
