LEO - Turns 1 and adds new features

LEO - Library Education Opportunity calendar turned one year old last weekend at CAL. Some new features were unveiled that make LEO an even more valuable tool.

- For RSS users, LEO has an RSS Feed. No need to remember to check LEO, just watch for changes through the feed.
- Thirty-four organizations add event to LEO and all those sponsoring organization acronyms can be confusing. The new Acronym List link on the Browse page will help you decipher all those codes!
- Drop down lists are available from the Advanced Search page for searches by topic and/or Target Audience.
- Events can now list multiple sponsoring organizations - great for collaborative events!
- Multiple day events may have different beginning and ending times by day.

LEO had some impressive first year statistics.
- 3888 unique visits
- 188 events
- 2442 keyword searches
- 12,355 browses by calendar month, organization or topic

LEO's continued growth is up to all of us. It's a great place to find continuing education events, determine what is already scheduled if your organization is choosing dates for an event, and a great place to advertise events to the library community.

LEO bookmarks are now available from CLiC. Just send me an email, lpriebe@clicweb.org with your name, library, and number of bookmarks you'd like.
