Brian Huffman: All right. I hope everyone can hear me. We'll get started today. This is our third Thursday for February sixteenth, and we're going to be talking about legal apps. I have a group of
Brian Huffman: for law students here who are going to give us an overview of 4 different apps that they use to help them study and research in law school, and maybe a little preview here of what we're going to talk about
Brian Huffman: the app categories that I have identified that students use primary in law school for the purpose of studying writing and flash card. Now there, of course, other opportunities to use apps in law school, and you can be creative about things that you might even use in your real life. But these are the 4 we're going to talk about today grammarly so Tarot, evernote.
Brian Huffman: and quizlet.
Brian Huffman: And these are the students that will be presenting on those 4 topics, and we'll just out. They're going to be in the order you see on here. We're going to start first with evernote and have Nicole Harrison give us a presentation on that, and we'll end with me talking about a little bit about linkedin
Brian Huffman: so, but we'll jump in right now with
Brian Huffman: Yep. You can see your screen. if you would, please. And I
Brian Huffman: Oh, how about this?
Brian Huffman: Now try?
Okay.
Nicole Harrison: Awesome. My total.
Nicole Harrison: Yes, I totally. Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
Nicole Harrison: Okay.
Nicole Harrison: I think you just have to like, turn down your volume.
Nicole Harrison: That's what I have to do in Chrome.
Nicole Harrison: Okay. Nope.
Nicole Harrison: Awesome. Oh, my God. what a struggle!
Nicole Harrison: You can plug your one here!
Nicole Harrison: That's so weird.
Nicole Harrison: Okay, maybe it's not his. Oh, no, it's okay, awesome. Okay. So
Nicole Harrison: hello. I've been using evernote since I was in undergrad, and I feel like it has gotten progressively better.
Nicole Harrison: but
Nicole Harrison: so they have a free version. But I've been which I used in undergrad because I felt like I didn't need to pay for anything. Also I was broke.
Nicole Harrison: and it was perfectly fine. But there are some like Perks of the paid version, which I have now
Nicole Harrison: that I feel like, make it worth it
First off is like this home screen.
Nicole Harrison: So when you open it up you come here, and so I have. You can customize it and like move stuff around.
Nicole Harrison: It's like I have like just notes on my scratch pad.
Nicole Harrison: like when the presses are saying something that, like, I don't want to get lost in my main notes.
Nicole Harrison: It's like, oh, this is just like something to remember. So
Nicole Harrison: like when midterms come up it'll be like, oh, this is like. We'll be tested on classes like one through 12 material kind of things.
also like little tasks that I can set.
Nicole Harrison: which are really helpful, because you can like reminder if I assign if I actually shared ever know, like
other people used it.
Nicole Harrison: Also, I synced up my Google Calendar, which is where I keep my classes so it'll tell me like
Nicole Harrison: when classes ending
Nicole Harrison: because I don't always remember. And then I have a separate notebooks and notes and stuff. But So that's like the homepage, and then
Nicole Harrison: like for using it using it. I make a new notebook for each class
Nicole Harrison: that way. I and I organize it based on the
Nicole Harrison: like, the syllabus. When we get them. The topics they have is like broad topics
Nicole Harrison: I make is like the
Nicole Harrison: like. The heading. You can also make like little tags.
Nicole Harrison: so like I use that a lot when I was in undergrad. So you can have it tagged like this. I had it tagged for this professor this
this course, because I was just using one notebook and a bunch of notes in that one notebook.
Nicole Harrison: so it's easier to find them, and then I could like if I was thinking, oh, wait! What is this from? I could go back and look at that.
Nicole Harrison: But
Nicole Harrison: s0 0ne of the main reasons I started using evernote was
Nicole Harrison: a PET peeve with like Google Docs and word. which is that when you want to say add anything.
Nicole Harrison: So if I was doing like a list
one. And then
Nicole Harrison: so this: if I was doing like a list list list, and
Nicole Harrison: in word or Google Docs, if I wanted to move
Nicole Harrison: this point back to like under, to be the same area as one. You have to do like a whole thing and like, move it like that, you know. It's like a lot more effort, but
Nicole Harrison: and i'm lazy. But
Nicole Harrison: with every now you can just like you just press delete, and it goes back, and I think that's like very soothing. They also have the thing. So if you've got a bunch of
Nicole Harrison: a bunch of notes, but you want to move.
Nicole Harrison: and you want it to move like a whole group of something you can. So if I wanted to put this whole section under this topic that Professor Chen talked about first. I can just grab it
and move it
Nicole Harrison: as like one.
Nicole Harrison: and
Nicole Harrison: It' like I can move it like, Put it in like the wherever.
Nicole Harrison: But I don't have like copy and paste to like play with all of the
Nicole Harrison: various formatting, to make it like fit
the way I want it to. So those are like the 2 main reasons that I use this instead of like anything else.
Nicole Harrison: Yeah, I think it's really helpful for class note taking. and and
Nicole Harrison: it helps me keep like my various classes, separate, but also all in one place.
Nicole Harrison: And the reason I pay for evernote is because when you pay for it you can open it up on like an unlimited number of devices.
Nicole Harrison: So I have the app on my phone on my ipad on my home desktop.
Nicole Harrison: I think if with free, you can only have it on 2 at one time like logged int0 2.
Nicole Harrison: But with the way I use it. I just want it to be able to
Nicole Harrison: open it on like anything. And they have like, really nice.
Nicole Harrison: like highlighting and like the controls.
Nicole Harrison: Yeah, that's
Nicole Harrison: That's it. You can put pictures in and stuff. Yeah, okay, No, i'm actually done
Nicole Harrison: pretty sure that I've put plenty of pictures, especially like taking screenshots of slides.
Brian Huffman: and I I think I've used it in the past. As am I correct? I think you can even put Pdfs in there that they're scannable, and then you can actually search and find the content of the Pdf. That you would search into your notes. Yeah, I haven't really used it as much, but i'm pretty sure you can. Yeah, if you have a tablet with the touch screen, you can use it as it
Brian Huffman: only runs. I haven't. Is that true? Does it not work on PC.
Nicole Harrison: Oops?
Brian Huffman: All right. Thank you, Nicole.
It's
Malia Taylor: right now. We'll move on to grammarly.
Malia Taylor: How do I share?
Malia Taylor: I have t0 0pen my system preferences.
Malia Taylor: What do they want me to do? But
she's gonna get her there you go. That's what you want.
Malia Taylor: You'll have to click the lock.
Malia Taylor: Oh, I have to quit and reopen.
Erik Meade: Move on to Eric. I think it's going to teach us a little bit about some carol. Yes, so chicken arrow. Oh, let me turn up my volume so that I'm really being recorded.
Erik Meade: share my screen.
Erik Meade: so I do not have a presentation. This is going to be a live demo, which is always really exciting.
Erik Meade: A little bit. Echo.
Erik Meade: What are we doing now
Erik Meade: for this Should like You should have an introduction to this for your Cis class on how to manage all the documentation that you are going to accumulate.
Erik Meade: I really like this because I am a bit of a data quarter.
And
Erik Meade: so this is your sort of default view
Erik Meade: you get.
Erik Meade: You have your your library, and then, as is typical, you can
Erik Meade: have various
Erik Meade: folders and folders within folders, you know, at nauseum.
Erik Meade: So, in particular. when he comes in to using it.
Erik Meade: you have your items in the middle screen, which are the things that you add to
Erik Meade: the app. There's a couple of ways to do it, one of which which is really handy, that i'm a Demo here live
Erik Meade: is using the plugin
Erik Meade: that you can install. So here we have the Red Hill
Erik Meade: crisis which I already have a bit of a work on. I go to my connector.
Erik Meade: I choose. Save it.
Erik Meade: save it with an embedded made it metadata. No web page. We have snapshot is what I like to do
Erik Meade: over here. It asked me where to do it. Red Hill. Yeah, yeah, Red Hill.
Erik Meade: Come back over
Erik Meade: and families forced to stay in hotels.
Erik Meade: So you'll notice you filled in the title for me. It filled in the URL. It has the date.
Erik Meade: I've got my snapshot. Now one nifty feature is that you can take your information from there. and as soon as I get my notepad to come up
on the screen.
Erik Meade: Where's my window?
Erik Meade: Here we go. You can drag and drop. This is oh, really. Oh, yes, yeah, yeah, Basically, any any
Erik Meade: drag and drop interface, you can take. Grab your middle item.
Erik Meade: drag it in and get your night. Get your citation now in this case, and this is, I mean, the citations might not be perfect, but my night citations are never perfect, and this glancing at it looks like it's a good web citation to me.
Erik Meade: The one trick you need to do in order to get your style is under preferences export. There is the item format. and they have like 2,000 formats. I've got the Blue Book of Law Review picked since. That's the closest to what we're gonna want.
Erik Meade: So that's one way to get information in
Erik Meade: second way. Let's say you've already already built up a bunch of Pdfs because you have topics that you care about, and you download them when you come across them. So here we have the red Hill tank, closure, plan.
Erik Meade: drag and drop it in.
Erik Meade: drag and drop it in Redhill Tank Closure plan.
Erik Meade: and this one did not find good information which is fine, because I got another one hopefully, they'll find on EPA. I'm. Trying to illustrate another feature here
for us.
Erik Meade: Yeah.
So what is not happening that I wish would happen
Erik Meade: was that when you add a Pdf. This way
Erik Meade: behind the scenes is going out and seeing if it can find information on the Internet, and if it can, it will go ahead and fill in some appropriate values which I can show
Erik Meade: from
Erik Meade: from my library with them.
Erik Meade: Yeah, yeah, so it it can fill it in. It's not a guaranteed thing, but it makes it easy to drag and drop. Once you have files in
Erik Meade: you've got.
So here's a nice example. Tons of information in here, none of which I entered.
Erik Meade: You can update it if you want to.
Erik Meade: You have tags which I like to sort things by tags. I I use tags by by the year. That's you. Probably don't need to do that, because if the info has the years in it, but sometimes I find that
Erik Meade: they don't exactly You know it, they added date modified, but they did find the proper date, so I probably didn't need to put the tags in there for the year, but I like to. And then so now it starts getting really exciting.
Erik Meade: and what I've done, what happens is now that I've unselected it
is, you can do something which is really cool.
Erik Meade: and
Erik Meade: if you go into the Pdf. And you highlight sections, or you add comments because Pdfs comments.
Erik Meade: it opens it up.
Erik Meade: Belief in that need find more current data than 2,001. Because if you inhale depleted uranium, it's not the same as eating depleted uranium.
Erik Meade: But but anyway.
Erik Meade: so what was the other stuff I wanted to show citations we got that they have good documentation.
Erik Meade: It works on everything, windows apple. Linux it's free
Erik Meade: up into the point that you want to start using the online storage, so that's their model is free. But online storage will cost you money if you want to support them that way. They have the documentation. Pretty good. It's pretty simple. They have Typically, they have nice little videos to show you what what to do, and images.
The documentation I found is to be pretty good if if you're looking for stuff. Oh, timelines! So this is a cool feature
Erik Meade: that I would like to show off real quick.
Erik Meade: which, especially for the depleted uranium, was exciting.
Erik Meade: You can create a timeline
Erik Meade: and
Erik Meade: oops
Erik Meade: decade century.
Erik Meade: and so your top
Erik Meade: top zone is is by year.
and you can see i'm running all the way back here int0 1940,
Erik Meade: and then century is not as useful in in this case. But you can
then navigate through
Erik Meade: visually, if you so desire.
Erik Meade: And I think that was all the stuff. There are a lot of plugins. You could export your your library. You can share your library, so there's all the kind of stuff third party documentation. If you're a developer, they have ways that you can hook in
Erik Meade: It's a it's got a lot of stuff, and it's definitely
Erik Meade: increase the amount of resource research material that I could kind of keep my hands on while I was trying to create stuff which I really enjoy.
Erik Meade: And I think that is all. And everyone's got any questions.
Brian Huffman: I don't have any questions, Eric, but i'll have some comments.
Brian Huffman: You're right. I actually used every note myself when I did a chapter in a book, and I got a co-authored with, and it was very useful. I still go back and pull that metadata from there. I I shared it and collaborated with my editor and my other authors.
Brian Huffman: and they could make changes in the notation part. I I didn't even know that it pulls that in from the Pdf. Because I think they may have added that since they wrote that book, because I used to keep.
Erik Meade: I used to make my own notes. They were relevant to those items and put them in that little box. But now, if they could pull them in directly from the Pdf: that would be great. Yeah, that that made a big difference for me, because I like I like highlighting in the Pdf. And being able to extract that automatically was made a huge difference.
Erik Meade: That's great. Thank you. Yep. Are we ready to go back to?
Erik Meade: This is
yeah.
Erik Meade: I haven't tried it. I would say I think it, but it does list. Ios is one of the one of the devices it supports. So probably for apple, but probably not Android. They just we just added the app recently. Oh, that's right. That's why I use it natively that way. But I
Erik Meade: will reference to us off of my phone
Erik Meade: outstanding. Then we're ready for quiz. Let
Erik Meade: let me stop sharing
Malia Taylor: on mute. Hi! I'm gonna share for twins with.
Malia Taylor: Let's see if it works. Yep. Okay. what am. I like not know how to do things?
Malia Taylor: Okay.
Malia Taylor: So this is the homepage of Quizlet. It's mostly used just to make flash cards. So here we have some real prop cards.
Malia Taylor: some vocab. And there's really just like the 4 functions right there on the top that you can use flash cards. learn test, and match.
Malia Taylor: What I like about this is you can use it on your phone as well. So it's good for like when you're waiting in line or something instead of going on like Snapchat. I'll g0 0n Quizlet, but I wouldn't say this is like the best like study. Aids gonna make you pass anything. It's good, just like
Malia Taylor: like a game. But then you're also doing school stuff like I like doing the match one. So it's really fun.
Malia Taylor: You just have to match them in your time. I don't want to do this right now, though.
Malia Taylor: and you can like. Yeah, it's mostly what you do.
Malia Taylor: And this is what Martin looks like. It's really easy to make them to
Malia Taylor: just press this.
Malia Taylor: and you can make folders make it to the class or just to set, and then you can also, like, find other people's flashcards if you trust them, which I will, I definitely have done. But you just have to like, check and make sure that
Malia Taylor: they're not sauce first.
Malia Taylor: But
yeah.
Malia Taylor: this one might look okay. You'd have to like, Look at it more. But yeah, that's good. If you don't want to like, make them, but you want to be able to use them.
Malia Taylor: and that's my presentation. If anyone has any questions
Malia Taylor: elementary school, I don't know what that is. But yeah, I've been using this since, like elementary school elementary. Yeah, yeah, or like middle school like middle school.
Malia Taylor: get back to the main thing. My question is, I assume you have to spend as much time making them as using it. But I think that reinforces the learning right? Yeah, yeah, definitely. And then you could also just look up. Someone's set to right if you didn't want to make them. But I think making them is really helpful. It's also probably way more eco friendly than you can do.
Malia Taylor: Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Malia Taylor: Yeah. I tried that one semester that I spent more times cutting than
Malia Taylor: yeah, and I really think you can use it on your phone, too.
Brian Huffman: It's like something good to do.
Brian Huffman: all right. Thank you so much.
Brian Huffman: We have grammarly. I don't know if that's the best but the last. But
Kekai Wong Yuen: so I do apologize for that.
Kekai Wong Yuen: So i'm presenting on grammarly
Kekai Wong Yuen: my name is Kikai. Sorry if I didn't say that.
Kekai Wong Yuen: So basically these are like the main things I use it for. I am always sending emails to people. I'm always writing, and i'm notoriously bad at spelling. I've just always been bad at spelling, so maybe I should just quiz it more. But basically it's just a very efficient and quick way
Kekai Wong Yuen: to just check myself, because I also have high anxiety. So i'm always scared that I have something spot wrong, or I have something that's out of place, and so I just like having a backup step
just in case that's always there.
Kekai Wong Yuen: And also I write too much. I'm usually over word count. I'm not type of person, so it also cuts away all my unnecessary words and flops that I tend to not need, especially when.
Kekai Wong Yuen: And also we're taught to be very straightforward, very efficient, and get to the point. I was never talking undergrad. I was taught to just write everything I was feeling so. It's also good to double check that.
Kekai Wong Yuen: Well, basically just a general overview grammarly like support streamlined and effective writing. Like, I said, the suggestions help identify and replace complicated sentences with more efficient ones. And i'll g0 0ver that in my demo.
Kekai Wong Yuen: It's to help refresh, rep of language and uphold accurate spelling punctuation grammar.
Kekai Wong Yuen: So basically, what the app is compatible with it works with both Mac and windows, which is really nice. And it's also compatible with many other popular software like Microsoft Word. The website actually lists everything that it's compatible with. But these are just like the general things that most people tend to go to.
Kekai Wong Yuen: I really like the browser extension when I first came up.
It's just nice to have that there.
Kekai Wong Yuen: so where can I find grammar? You can get from the app store. You can get it from grammarlycom, or if you have an Android Google Place store
Kekai Wong Yuen: as well, I've never had an android. So i'm not really sure what Google play star looks like.
Kekai Wong Yuen: And also you can have it for free
Kekai Wong Yuen: on your phone. So you're welcome to scan this QR. Code whenever you want. I'm: assuming this zoom will be sent out to everyone like you can see in the example on the left Basically, if you're just sending an email from your phone. You're saying a text from your phone. It just double checks it. I'll tell you something spot wrong. I tend to text really quickly, and I tend to so much for drunk. So it's just nice to have there.
Kekai Wong Yuen: and my mom's a teacher, so she likes, pointing out my chromatical errors whenever I text her. She's one of those
Kekai Wong Yuen: so paid versus free version.
Kekai Wong Yuen: The free version is honestly really great. It covers most of your bases. Has grammar spelling, punctuation help to be concise and tone detection, which is really interesting because you can choose to. You can choose a type of tone you're trying to convey to your readers whether you're trying to inform them whether you're trying to persuade them whether you're trying to tell a story. It's all these options. I personally have it.
Kekai Wong Yuen: No, this anything big from it. But it is there, if you like to choose it. The biggest issue for people, they say, is
Kekai Wong Yuen: the free version it doesn't check you for plagiarism.
Kekai Wong Yuen: I I personally don't use it for that. I just kind of use it for a general check. I'm not using it to be my actual.
Kekai Wong Yuen: But I know that is something people complain about that I just talked to in the past.
Kekai Wong Yuen: So this is a subscription cost, like, I said, there is a free version, but if you would like those extra premium features, you can d0 $12 a month for annual with it's technically $144. But if you break it down, it's $12 a month or you could do quarterly monthly and grammarly business.
Kekai Wong Yuen: Those are for businesses. You need at least 3 members. So if you know someone you want to share with and a friend, I guess you can go all out and do that that's up to you. But again I've never touched the grammarly business.
Kekai Wong Yuen: So here are the Perks. It's kind of like touched on the beginning. It helps you catch the typos. The punctuations are commonly confused words, and it's just like it helps to give you guidance. And again it doesn't really change the overall
Kekai Wong Yuen: paper itself. It's just as a sort of background check.
Kekai Wong Yuen: and then also gives clarity suggestions as well in undergrad. I use a lot of semicolons like. I was just addicted to semicolons and really long sentences. So what tell me, when I had super long sentences to just breaking it up, depending on who my reader is, and who the audience I'm. Trying to go for
Kekai Wong Yuen: and like. I just wanted to put teams in there as well. If you are doing the business one you can apply, share guidelines to help teams on consistent. If you're working as a group. encourage you the language and tones you need to your brand.
Kekai Wong Yuen: So I heard from other people. It's a big
Kekai Wong Yuen: I do not. This I have. I struggle with that when i'm writing with a group, and we all have completely different tones, and we all have completely different writing style. So it just kind of helps you point that out within grammar we like, hey? Maybe there's like a more concise way to make it flow better.
Kekai Wong Yuen: But again that's what I've heard from others. I don't have the the team version. Oh, we can do my demo, how fun!
Kekai Wong Yuen: So I just wanna show you what it looks like. So basically this is what a grammarly screen looks like. How do I like this? So here you can set your goals on the right hand side
Kekai Wong Yuen: so you can choose.
Kekai Wong Yuen: What if you're going for an academic feel if you're in business, if it's just a casual email, and what your intent is to inform, describe, convince, or tell a story like I was seeing and the audience as well, general knowledge or expert, it'll change what to correct. So for longer sentences. If you have more general audience, you'll always recommend to cut down sentences and make them more concise and short.
Kekai Wong Yuen: And then, just for Mali, for going for informal, neutral or formal again, it's up to you. And so basically, it'll tell you on the right hand side
Kekai Wong Yuen: what to correct. So you can either click on it.
Kekai Wong Yuen: and i'll tell you how to be more concise for the blue lines for purple. It's like a formality like just like.
Kekai Wong Yuen: Yeah. And then for red, it's usually
Kekai Wong Yuen: what type of punctuation or spelling.
Kekai Wong Yuen: And so when you have the premium version, apparently you can do multiple suggestions at once.
Kekai Wong Yuen: I know a lot of people don't like doing that, because again it's trusting grammarly to d0 20 suggestions at once. And usually some people are okay. With that. I personally like to click on it individually and just to go through it like there. And something I like to is that you can do the characters words, and even tells you how much speaking time it'll be, and the reading time it'll take as well.
Kekai Wong Yuen: which is really interesting. And the readability score is just basically it scores you from one t0 100
Kekai Wong Yuen: like how how easy it is to read your paper.
Kekai Wong Yuen: And again, you can always changes in the right hand side like you'll tell you they're 8 alerts for correctness to for spelling, grammar and punctuation clarity engagement. So this is a bit bland. This is a demo, this isn't mine basically just helps you make it more interesting and effective.
Kekai Wong Yuen: Wow! This comes. And then also delivery. Whether you're giving the impression you want t0 0n your reader, and that kind of just goes to
Kekai Wong Yuen: that feature that you choose, and you can also bold at the bottom left hand corner you can bold italics underline. You can also make lists. as you can see the bottom right hand corner. Sorry. Oh, you actually can't see that. Oh, there it is! Plagiarism that's only the premium version. It doesn't come with the free version.
Kekai Wong Yuen: But that is my presentation.
Kekai Wong Yuen: So the colors for these are what line up here.
and you can rephrase it in a different way.
Brian Huffman: Again. I was forgotten. I used to use it, but then I fell out of heaven
Brian Huffman: like I said it's more because I suck it's going. I have a couple of questions. It's been a while since I've used it.
Brian Huffman: Oh, and something I really like. Thank you for bringing up it, just reminding me of something else. I like to use
Kekai Wong Yuen: transition the same transition words. I just get into a habit of using it.
Kekai Wong Yuen: Perhaps you've used something too much that's
Brian Huffman: does it work on social media. I saw it works on email. But can you use it on
Brian Huffman: But, Twitter, it will correct you, because yes, it has correct me.
Brian Huffman: Okay, Thank you.
Brian Huffman: I'll share my last screen, and we'll g0 0ver the
Brian Huffman: linked in. I'm: glad you brought up linkedin, because that's what I'm actually going to talk about
Brian Huffman: all right. So who here uses linkedin
Brian Huffman: everybody? Does anyone not
Brian Huffman: wait? Yes, I have one.
Brian Huffman: Oh, wow, maybe 8 0r 9. It's been some some time ago I used it when I was even in library school, so I
Brian Huffman: been on for quite some time. I've seen it change, but it's always remain what I would call a professional social media app. It's never muddied its waters with controversy like Twitter, or become a real personal type.
Brian Huffman: a place that you want to put your family photos like Facebook. Right? So it really is. The purpose is to help you crow your network and and find other professionals, and to be found and seen in a, and that you want to be known in. That's that's purpose. And so you can see how I've got my cover photo that I've put on there.
Brian Huffman: Got my title. You didn't even let you pronounce your name. That's what that little button is useful for. Obviously my name probably wouldn't be so hard. But there's some people I think, that could be useful, and you get to pronounce it so here, how you want your name to be pronounced
Brian Huffman: so it has some neat little features like that. It can have a Cv built onto it. There are also links for organizations. So Here's the actual law school's website, and how it looks. It kind of has the same look and feel
Brian Huffman: you want. You can connect the 2. You can be a member of one group. Some groups are exclusive and won't. Allow you to be a member unless you actually can prove that you've worked there. Someone has to approve your membership, but I think anyone can actually be a member of the Law School one.
Brian Huffman: It also has a paid versus free version. So I have the free version. I've never even had been a lifetime user of this thing. I have never paid for it.
Brian Huffman: so I cannot tell you how useful that may or not be. But I have friends who have, and they say where they found it more useful. If you do decide to do that is, if you're looking for a job, you really are out there actively seeking employment because it will give you some data that you wouldn't normally find. See? For instance, I've clicked on the who's looked at my profile and was in the last 90
Brian Huffman: days. It says, there's 32, but it will only give me the
Brian Huffman: the a a brief overview of 4 0r 5 individuals, and sometimes you can't, even if you click on those it won't tell you who they are. Now, if I was a paid member, I would have the full access to that information. So you might want to know that you might want to say, who's looking at me? And who are they? Maybe I want to connect with them, and
Brian Huffman: and etc., so that might be useful on the right. There is a posting that I put up some time ago, and I had 771 impressions.
Brian Huffman: plus it showed me who was looking at it primarily look like librarians, attorneys, law librarians, people, I would expect, because that was the content, right? And how many reactions I got. So that's some interesting data you can get if you actually use it to post information and share with other individuals. So
Brian Huffman: those are the 3 main things I use it for to talk about yourself, your your organizations to post. I think it's great If you're You're new in the profession, and you want to find people. I've actually made connections, and had I've actually gotten presenters through Linkedin. So I mean, it is actually a way to actually grow and expand your network.
Brian Huffman: Any questions about it.
Brian Huffman: Oh.
Brian Huffman: as in.
Brian Huffman: So it's funny. You ask that there actually are resources out there that track the usage of social media and interaction, etc. And Linkedin has always remained high. In fact.
Brian Huffman: it got a large bump in the last 6 months, because people were leaving Twitter as well, I had noticed, because
