Dionne Lew gave a presentation on community engagement at the Libmark Community Engagement Forum. She discussed how community engagement has evolved from a discipline focused on face-to-face interactions to incorporate new digital tools and practices. However, she stressed that the core principles of why engagement is done, who it aims to reach, and how to effectively plan strategies remain important. Lew provided examples of how platforms like Pinterest, Wikipedia, blogs and Flickr have enabled new forms of open collaboration and learning.
