Take a look at this great post from Rachel! http://www.lisjobs.com/liminal/2006/09/ten-dos-and-donts-for-conference.html This one rules: DO sweat the small stuff. If your presenter is coming from out of state, who will pick her up at the airport? Or, should she take a cab? Will your organization reimburse her for cabs? Who will make and pay for the travel and lodging arrangements? Is there a luncheon/dinner/reception to which you can wrangle her an invitation? If not, do you have some time free to join her for dinner/lunch/breakfast? (This is a nice touch, especially when dealing with an out-of-state speaker who may not know […]

are we there yet? Originally uploaded by crr29061. We made it after delays, rain, waiting for the fueling truck and mysterious paperwork that had to be correct so we could take off. Thanks to Dr. Curtis Rogers for picking us up, taking us for southern cooking and getting us to our hotel. Tomorrow: The Technology Institute!
Rachel Singer Gordon is running a survey for folks who speak, sit on panels and present workshops: The Speaking Fees in Librarianship Survey is intended to give a rough idea of what speakers at library conferences and workshops tend to charge, and to give others an idea of what they might themselves ask for (or, that they can even ask!). Please see The Liminal Librarian for more details and comments. Please take the survey!
Greetings Librarians! Don’t miss the ALL DAY PL track at this year’s Internet librarian conference in Monterey, California. And really, all librarians are welcome for these talks — there’ll be a lot to learn and take away. Here’s the track and list of presentations: This track focuses on planning, people, and participation. It explores the shift toward patron involvement, librarians building resources for collaboration and communication, and how public libraries (PLs) are changing to meet the needs of the plugged-in, socially networked user. Organized and moderated by Jenny Levine, The Shifted Librarian, & Michael Stephens, Dominican University. Library 2.0: Emerging […]

If I could be there to listen and blog, I would! Take a look at this ultra hot program from NEASIST: http://www.neasist.org/pc/programs/20061003.html Join us for another engaging program featuring five pace-setters innovating at the edge of new library services! They will focus on examples of how and why libraries need to think beyond “marketing & advocacy” to a new level of findability, usability, and service. It is a future moving towards full integration of the library into users’ daily web practices.

Jenny blogs about our travels here. Last week, I joined Jenny Levine for a trip to Holland and the Ticer Digital Libraries à la Carte: New Choices for the Future program. We taught a day-long hands on workshop. Jenny covered blogs and RSS in the am and I took the participants through IM in the afternoon. I tried something a bit different this time. Taking a cue from our Web 2.0 discussions, Learning 2.0 initiatives, and such, I offered the group what I called an “immersive, experiential and playful” exercise in using IM and thinking about IM in libraries. I […]
The programme is in full swing! Last night, at the Welcome Dinner I got to meet many of the participants as well as the lecturers for the conference. One fellow I got to meet was Guus Van Den Brekel, who blogs at digicmb.blogspot.com and does some most cool work with Second Life and his library’s toolbar. Today, Jenny and I are prepping our presentations and exercises as well as heading out for a blogger’s dinner tonight, arranged by Rob Coers! We’ll have pictures for sure!
