To: [log in to unmask] Hello! I am teaching "Libraries and Archives in a Digital World" and I have a class assignment in which the students have to create a blog, Twitter plan or Facebook page for an archive or library. If you are interested in this please contact me as soon as possible so that we can get all the students assigned. Please note, the project does not have to be open to the public. If you are concerned about control of content, it will be up to you to make it "live" when you desire. Feel free to liberally pass this to other colleagues!
