So what’s a PLN?
YOUR PLN IS WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE.
Why should I want a PLN?
● Networking
● Collaboration
● Professional development
● Career advancement
● FUN!
(Possibly pizza)
Using your PLN for Networking
Whether you network through social media, karaoke, tacos or listservs, you never know what important people
your PLN knows. Cory went to Space Camp with Starr LaTronica. Amy’s friends with Betsy Diamant-Cohen.
Milk those connections.
Using your PLN for Collaboration
Guerrilla Storytime was a Twitter conversation that became a collaboration, then an international movement! It all started with a question to a PLN.
Using your PLN for PD
Your PLN is basically Mr. Miyagi. They know the secrets. They will train you in the ancient arts of librarianship.
Using your PLN for your Career
“How do you keep up on trends?” interview question
Using your PLN for FUN!
Creating your PLN
Do not kidnap reporters. Or librarians.
