IFLS Library Staff can Play Along with Project Play

IFLS Library Staff are welcome to follow along with Project Play. Please note that IFLS libraries are not eligible for prizes.

Stef Morrill, Assistant Director of the South Central Library System, announced a new online program called Project Play. This is a free, online, self-discovery program that encourages the exploration of Web 2.0 tools and new technologies. The Project is a collaboration of South Central Library System, Outagamie Waupaca Library System and Winnefox Library System. It’s based on the very successful Learning 2.0 Program created by Helene Blowers of the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, under their Creative Commons license which allows others to duplicate the program. The program will expose staff to emerging technologies that they are hearing about and which many of their patrons are already using.


Anyone outside of South Central, Outagamie Waupaca and Winnefox library systems can participate by using the projects on this site, however, they are not eligible to register or to receive incentives. For more information about this program check out this link: http://projectplay.owlsweb.info/
