*Understand the difference between eBook content licenses and ownership
*Be brought up to date on the latest legal issues, including the settlement agreement between the National Federation of the Blind and the Sacramento Pubic Library Authority
*Learn how the Califa Library Group (http://www.califa.org/) has fared in buying (not just licensing) eBook content for use by its customers.

InfoPeople: How to Fail at Social Media (and How to Get it Right) - Mar. 20th (Online)

You'll also see real-world examples, both good and bad, and find out if your library is on its way to a social media shipwreck -and how you might be able to change course.

Laura Solomon is the author of two books on social media and libraries, and she has seen many libraries enter the social media waters with no idea of how to navigate.

*Identify at least three errors libraries commonly make when setting up a social media account and how to correct them
*Explain the most important part in writing a post for social media
*List at least three mistakes libraries often make when creating social media posts and how to fix them
