On Monday, the plenary speaker, MJ Tooey, talked about promoting ourselves as librarians and mentioned elevator speeches. Because of this post, I had mine at the ready and was able to test it out live in front of an audience. How timely, Advocacy Group! Thanks for the prompting to create an elevator speech.

If this took place in an elevator, we'd have to ride up and down at least twice! So go head--post your speech in text or in audio--either way we want to 'hear' from you! Tech talk: If you want to record your speech and post it as a podcast, its not diffcult, but there are several steps involved. It will take a mic, a pc that can record sound, conversion software to convert to mp3 and a free account with a podbean.com (or some other podcaster) to create the podcast. From there Jacqueline can post the postcast to the blog. Just under 60 seconds–keepng the speech to 30 seconds is tough!
