Inside ZSR
Whew! Midwinter was busy, productive, and good this go around! As you know I typically blog each event and pull the posts together into daily posts here. This time I quickly realized that I wouldn’t even have the time for that type of reporting, so I did daily posts over on my blog, and I’m... more ›
On Monday and Tuesday I participated in the NCLA Library Instruction 2.0 Conference with Roz, Susan, and Giz. Roz, Susan, and I gave a panel presentation on Monday on the 2.0 techniques we teach with at ZSR. We must be onto something at ZSR, because after the presentation I heard from several other librarians that... more ›
(Cross posted on my blog.) I had hoped to write up every day of the institute and post as soon as possible, but internet connections were shaky, and we didn’t spend much time with computers, so instead you’re getting a summary. The North Carolina Library Association Leadership Institute is The Best Leadership Training program that... more ›
Yesterday I attended Elon University’s 5th Innovation in Instruction Conference. I’ve attended almost all of them, and each year they get better. This year’s keynote should make it clear how impressive the event has become. Michael Wesch, of The Machine in Us(ing) Us, Information R/evolution, and A Vision of Students Today fame, was the keynote... more ›
This was my first MERLOT International conference. I had heard it was really good from Susan, so Susan, Kevin, and I proposed a session on blogs and wikis, were accepted, and went to Minneapolis for MERLOT. As a somewhat techy conference, there were power strips on every table in almost every conference program room. Fabulous... more ›
Yesterday Giz and I helped give a NCLA workshop hosted in a beautiful facility at Elon University. As an officer of NCLA’s Technology and Trends Roundtable, I helped pull together the group of speakers that also included Lynda Kellam and Amy Harris of UNC-G and Ed Hirst of Rowan Public Library (also an officer). The... more ›
Yesterday I attended the ASERL-Auburn Forum on Library User Services. As usual, I took copious notes and posted them to my blog. If you’re interested in reading more I’ll put the links at the bottom of this post. To keep it interesting, I’m posting the main points here. There were four big take aways for... more ›
This ALA was a particularly good one for me… in fact, I think it was the best one I have attended! I was involved with two programs, both of which went well. I presented a poster on my microtext/govdoc student supervision system twice, and got great responses from the people who stopped by. The Emerging... more ›
On Friday I attended the NC Publications Depository System Meeting meeting in Raleigh. I went since Mary H. has left and Mary Lib was on previously scheduled vacation, but it turns out that I was our representative at the last meeting (in 2006), too, so I’m starting to feel like a part of the group!... more ›
Yesterday Giz, Kevin, and I went to UNCG to participate in the Spring Tri-IT Meeting. We went to present on “Situating Blogs and Wikis: The Value Added Proposition of the Library as Service Provider.” The meeting was a nice one. It was small enough that you could meet people, but big enough so that you... more ›
