No Such Thing As TMI: How to Create a Culture of (Content) Sharing

This was presented in the marketing track at eduWeb 2012 in Boston. Examples and advice from Elizabethtown (Pa.) College about information and content sharing on a college campus. Please note that some of these slides require context so, as usual, when looking a deck posted online you won't get the full presentation experience. Nonetheless, I hope you find this helpful!
