The webcast is open to all attendees of either ACRL 2011 Conference or ACRL 2011 Virtual Conference. I have moderated <a href=\"http:\/\/connect.ala.org\/node\/119381\">a panel discussion program at ALA 2011 Midwinter<\/a> on the same topic. But in tomorrow&#8217;s webcast, we will discuss more in depth about the right fit between one&#8217;s own personality \/ preferences and personal branding tools and practical tips to develop and \u00c2\u00a0manage one&#8217;s own personal brand. \u00c2\u00a0We will also have a lot of time dedicated for questions from the webcast attendees.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that I have written before and want to re-emphasize is that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bohyunkim.net\/blog\/archives\/1048\">personal branding is not an end itself. \u00c2\u00a0It is more of a by-product of\u00c2\u00a0the successful pursuit of one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own interest, contribution, and networking in librarianship.<\/a> <\/strong>Many doubts and suspicions about personal branding stem from this misconception that personal branding is all about promoting oneself as if it could be an end itself. And it is not.<\/p>\n<p>What the message of personal branding boils down to is: <strong>Be engaged in the profession, share your thoughts and ideas with peers, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue of librarianship. <\/strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">The new twist is that now with the rise of many social media tools, this can be done much faster and more effectively than before and even on the cheap (without even attending a conference physically). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are the slides for the webcast. \u00c2\u00a0If you are attending ACRL 2011 conference, join us.
