Giới thiệu
Walt Cook's PLN is a comprehensive mind map template for library and information science (LIS) professionals to cultivate, maintain, and measure a personal learning network (PLN). With 196 nodes across six major branches—Resource Network, PLN Cultivation & Maintenance Plan, Measuring Success of the PLN, Use of PLN in LIS Problem Solving, PLN Scope, and PLN Goals—this template guides users through building a professional network using tools like Twitter hashtags, RSS aggregators (Netvibes), and social media monitoring (Klout, SocialMention). It includes specific strategies such as 'A one-term major weeding out of Twitter contacts' and criteria like 'Look at last 10 posts of sites and individual contacts' to decide on adding or deleting resources. This Walt Cook's PLN template serves as both a planning tool and a cheat sheet for LIS professionals aiming to enhance their career through strategic networking.
