SUMMARY:Social Media Tips from NASA
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nSocial Media Tips from NASA\nSocial media can provide your library with a world of opportunity when it comes to promoting programs and disseminating information; yet\, to many STEM professionals and library staff\, social media is a daunting challenge. What kind of language should you use when creating a post? How do you find the best images and videos to share? What is the most effective way of delivering high quality scientific content? What platform is right for your library’s needs? \nSTAR Net is thrilled to host Jason Townsend\, NASA’s Deputy Social Media Manager\, for our upcoming webinar: Social Media Tips from NASA. Jason will pilot you through the universe of social media and share tips\, advice\, and lessons that he has learned from his experience directing some of the most-followed Twitter\, Facebook\, Instagram\, and Snapchat accounts in the world. While your library’s Twitter account may not have 26.5 million followers\, you will surely learn a few tips to help your library’s social media presence blast off!

SUMMARY:Celebrate Earth Day with NASA’s GLOBE Observer
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recorded Webinar\nView Presentation Slides\nCelebrate Earth Day with NASA’s GLOBE Observer\nLearn how your library can celebrate our planet on Earth Day and beyond through NASA’s GLOBE Observer (GO) citizen science project.  Library patrons can contribute to NASA Earth science by downloading the free GO app\, observing the sky\, and contributing their observations to this international program.  GO cloud observations are helping NASA scientists understand clouds from below (the ground) and above (from space). Clouds play an important role in transferring energy from the Sun to different parts of the Earth system. Because clouds can change rapidly\, scientists need frequent observations from citizen scientists. \nIn this interactive webinar\, library staff will meet with a NASA scientist\, Jessica Taylor\, and educators\, Sarah McCrea and Dorian Janney\, to learn: \n\nWhy observing clouds and sky conditions is important to NASA\nHow NASA’s GLOBE Observer citizen science observations contribute to NASA science\nHow to do sky observations with the easy-to-use GLOBE Observer app: identify satellite overpass times\, photograph clouds\, record sky observations and compare them with NASA satellite images\nWhat resources are available to support library programming on Earth Day 2017 and beyond
