At this year’s NCLA Conference I was able to find sessions relevant to my service on the ZSR Marketing Committee as well as others which can be applied more generally to librarianship. “Grumble Theory in the Workplace” with Michael Crumpton and Kathy Bradshaw from UNCG was the first session I attended. They referred to Maslow’s... more ›
So, as you all know, the NCLA Conference was held here in Winston-Salem last week. Here’s what I did at it. I served as a consultant to the Exhibits Committee this year, rather than chairing it, which was a big relief. I shared all the information with them that I could beforehand and visited Amy... more ›

I attended the meeting to learn more about the nitty... more ›
Last week, I traveled to Furman University for the Tri-State Archivists Conference. In addition to attending sessions, I represented SNCA as the Archives Week chair and did quite a bit of promotion of this year’s Archives Week.

Making the experience even more enjoyable was the fact that the... more ›

I was thrilled to leave my... more ›

I enjoyed meeting lots of North Carolina librarians, including those who are doing similar work to me right now and those who like me are just starting out. Most of... more ›
Greenville, South Carolina was a busy spot this week as the Tri-State Archivists Conference opened with archivists from North and South Carolina and Georgia. The conference opened with an exciting talk about the Digital Public Library of America by Emily Gore. Emily, who formerly worked at NC Echo is now one of five individuals working... more ›
Here’s my summary of last week’s North Carolina Library Association conference. Overall, I thought it was a great conference, and I was glad I attended. E-books Christopher Harris, editor for the American Libraries e-content blog, gave a very good update on the e-book industry, although it was mostly geared toward public libraries. Some of my... more ›

As we are all aware, Associate Dean Wanda Brown has been the NCLA President for the... more ›
