MLA Handout

Creating Professional Community: Beyond the Social Media Buzz

Instead of giving out paper handouts during our presentation, Sarah and I decided to post live links to all the resources we mentioned in our talk. The goal of our talk is to help librarians, especially those working in YS, to connect online and create meaningful professional networks. Hope this helps!
