Welcome to eSTAR 2.0!

Greetings!

Before you start, please follow these three easy steps to create your account:

Google Account Information:
We recommend that you create a Google account with your COH (cityofhouston.net) email address. This will be your username; you can use the same password. A Google account will allow you to access Blogger and post comments. You can also add Google Docs, Calendar and Reader. However this account will not include gmail.

If you choose to use a different name for your Google account that doesn't identify you by name, please sign your name at the end of your answers and comments to receive credit. For example, if you use "texasgirl@gmail.com", we need to know who this address belongs to for grading purposes.

Second Step:
Now you are ready to post your answers and participate in eSTAR discussions. Click on your group name to post your answers; visit the eSTAR Reference Desk to participate in discusssions. Please note there is no need to register anymore!

This month's topic - Social Networking

This month we would like for you to learn about online communities and make new connections.

Take a look at the slideshow available on HPL's wiki: http://10.34.145.39/twiki/bin/view/HPL/TechClasses

Explore the Wikipedia list of social networking websites at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites

Write about your experiences! Become a fan of Houston Public Library on Facebook. Can you find other HPL staff in LinkedIn? Take a look at some of the hobby sites such as Ravelry or Bake Space. How is social networking important to you as a public library staff?
