Web 2.0 Workshop held at Lycoming

Snowden Library planned and hosted a workshop for the Susquehanna Library Cooperative on October 31. The guest speaker was Jody Condit Fagan from James Madison University. Members of the planning committee were Janet Hurlbert, Mary Broussard, Sue Beidler, Alison Gregory and Tami Hutson. Instructional services librarians presenting on the program were Mary Broussard with a poster session titled "Integrating Virtual and Physical Games: Library Instruction in a Small Academic Library" and a panel presentation, "Widgets: Web Coolness for Non-Techies;" Alison Gregory with a poster session, "Sleeping with the Enemy: Wikipedia in the College Classroom;" and Sue Nelson with a panel presentation, "Zero in with Zotero."

Harry Potter Night

The library hosted our annual Harry Potter Night on the night of October 24. There was plenty of butterbeer and pumpkin pasties to go around. In addition to the food, students competed in costume, crazy sock, and trivia competitions and the Horcrux Hunt obstacle course. Many Lycoming staff and faculty dressed up as characters from the books and came to help make the night a success.
