Community @ TTW

If you were unable to export your fall 2010 blog in time before the site was cleared out, please shoot me a message on this site.  We resurrected the old site temporarily to be able to get you your export file.

Thanks!

I am so glad to see students from LIS768 moving their blogs over – as well as some of my LIS701 students – WELCOME to all of you. Use the space for blogging, your portfolio, class projects, etc.

Please make this site your own. Let us know if there are things you’d like to see us try with the setup. Kyle has done a bang up job creating this learner’s community. Kudos to him and all of you!

Have a GREAT summer.

Hey there!  Welcome to the new Community at Tame The Web where Dominican University LIS students are welcome to gather, chat, and write their own blogs, create their own groups, and look around the forums.

This is a place to talk about what interests you in library and information science.  Ask yourself: “What do I have to say about LIS?”  I’d gather you’ve got more to say than you really know…

Additionally, think of this space as a place where you can really create a growing professional product like a portfolio to share with your peers and potentially employers.

As a community site there have been some community-geared features built-in like:

• Site wide activity (think Facebook wall)
• A member directory
• Collaborative groups
• Forums
• and a list of site blogs

There’s a heck of a lot more that you’ll discover like your own Twitter-like activity stream and the opportunity to friend and message others on the site.  That’s a lot of space to reach out to others and make connections.

There aren’t too many “rules” on this site, we simply ask that you respect yourself, respect each other and respect the space.

So what are you waiting for?  Go get yourself an account and a blog!

Enjoy!
