presented by
Scott Brown
of Social Information Group
Google + is arguably the fastest-growing social networking tool out there. Not only has adoption of Google + soared, but features are also being added on an almost weekly basis. But is it useful? And if so, how? In this fast-paced session, you’ll get a crash course on Google + for finding information, as well as some best practices in using it to track companies and people of interest to you and your organization.
Our presenter for the evening will be Scott Brown, owner of Social Information Group (http://www.socialinformationgroup.com), an independent information practice that focuses on the effective use of social networking tools for sharing and finding information. He has over 20 years of experience in library and information organizations, in public, academic and corporate settings. The use of social networking has been an area of significant interest to our members, and we’re pleased to have Scott back again to discuss this hot topic.
