Hosting a chat

Interested in hosting a chat? Want to suggest a topic? Get in touch with the outreach coordinators of the DLF Digital Library Pedagogy Group!

Step by step

  1. Identify hosts (usually 2 people). The outreach coordinator can schedule the tweets for the hosts, or hosts may need to gain access to the @CLIRDLF Twitter account and the DLF wiki (write to info@diglib.orgto get edit access).
    1. Take topic proposals from the suggestion form for hosts to sign up.
    2. Put out an open call for hosts on DLF-Pedagogy and DLF-Announce.
    3. Invite leaders of the DLF Digital Library Pedagogy Group to host.
    4. Host the chat yourselves, as chairs of the outreach subgroup!
  2. Identify a topic. Browse previous chats for inspiration. Hosts may bring their own ideas.
  3. Write questions in advance.
    1. Use this template (created by host Nicole Wilson).
  4. Post questions to upcoming chats on the wiki so that participants are able to view and consider questions ahead of time.
  5. Promote the chat by sending details + questions to listservs, groups, and Twitter
    1. Send messages to DLF-Pedagogy, DLF-Announce, DSS-l, ILI-l, and DHSI email lists one week in advance.
    2. Message the DLF Pedagogy Google group with the details and questions, too.
    3. Promote the chat on @CLIRDLF Twitter (by including promotional tweets when you schedule questions).
    4. Tweet about it on your own Twitter accounts, too.
  6. Send reminders to same channels one day in advance.
  7. Schedule tweets in TweetDeck to go out from @CLIRDLF account. For more on scheduling tweets, see advanced TweetDeck features.
  8. Host the Twitter chat! Here are some tips for hosts:
    1. You may model how to respond to questions early in the chat by answering them with the prefix of A# meaning "A" for answer and "#" for the question number (sample tweet: "A1: This happens at my institution, and we handle it by...").
    2. You might not be able to respond to every single tweet depending on how many participants turn out, which is why it's helpful to have a co-host to help carry the answers, conversations, re-tweets, etc.
    3. Following the hashtag #DLFteach via TweetDeck in a browser window can make it easier to follow along than on a mobile device and also easier to tweet your responses to questions and tweets. It's up to you for what's most comfortable, though.
    4. Embrace the fast-paced conversation! You could schedule your own tweets ahead of time if you'd like, but it works really well to let the conversation organically flow with participants. You can engage with participants in many ways, ranging from liking a tweet to responding to, or re-tweeting, their tweets.
  9. Archive the chat.
    1. Create a Wakelet story using the DLF account (write to info@diglib.org for login info).
    2. Create a TAGS archive of the Twitter chat, and upload the CSV to the DLF Digital Library Pedagogy Group space on the Open Science Framework (OSF).
    3. Add links to both the Wakelet story and the TAGS spreadsheet on OSF to the page for this Twitter chat on the DLF wiki.
  10. Share archived chat to DLF-Pedagogy and DLF-Announce.
