One of the (many) great sessions I attended was Online Communities...ways to make our presence more known where our patrons are, virtually - of course! While i was trying to scribe as quickly as possible (yea, yea a computer would'a helped) i need to find the presentation online. Here are some of the places we should consider being:
>libdex
>mapmuse
>library411
>publiclibraries.com
>librariesontheweb
>wikimapia
Are we listed in wifi directories? Is the name of wifi network "default?" *bad idea, by the way*
Here are some of the places we should be trolling to see if they talk about us, good or bad!:
>yelp
>local2me
>insiderpages
>citysearch
>judy's book
Do we own or redirect people from url's like aldmovies or aldbooks?
Since i'm a guest on this computer i'm not making the links live like a good blogger should. It was enuf of a victory to get on the computer for a lengthy period of time to catch up, send home notes and blog/update. (thx Monterey Public Library!)
If you have the time, let me know if we already have a presence at any of these place, will ya?

I have done some searching to see where ALD shows up, and it is mainly our website that appears in Google searches. (On a good note that means I have not come across bad things said about ALD either)...but we could use more coverage.
Other places besides the ones you listed include Eventful and Upcomming.org, and while we are at it...we shoud try and get the library listed on the Arapahoe County and Centennial websites.
