> Second Life and Facebook offer different opportunities for group leaders.
> Facebook is great for building a community presence that can be referenced
> at anytime and provides more familiar forms of interaction such as
> messaging and email. It only requires a computer with minimal
> capabilities. Second Life is a 3D virtual world that offers, among many
> other things, real-time meeting capability and exciting new forms of
> interaction, though the technological demands are higher. Attend this
> session for an overview about how each of these social networking tools
> facilitates leadership.

> Though only a few years old, Facebook is the largest social networking
> community, with over 30 million members worldwide. Originating in academe,
> many from the information professions are active on Facebook, and this
> holds potential to help growth and interest of millennial-age and other
> new professionals to become involved in professional organizations, should
> we reach out to them and try to build virtual community. Pascal Calarco
> has set up an ASIS&T group on Facebook, now over 130 members throughout
> the world. He will talk about this group and some of the virtual
> communities of interest to library and information science, and how we can
> possibly leverage this community to identify and grow future ASIS&T
> leaders.

> Allison Brueckner will present on the various leadership styles which she

> virtual world.  Social networks inherently evolve and the evolution of
> leadership styles used in SL has varied in degrees of success.  Ms.
> Brueckner will discuss the technological challenges SL leadership faces,
> when executing various projects and tasks.  She will also present the
> social impact this virtual environment makes on leadership styles.  A
> demonstration in-world, in Second Life, will also be given.
