Wrapping up today with IL2004… for your consideration: As evidenced by the great group of people in our Make Learning Stick: Creating 5-Star, User-Centered Training & Instruction workshop, library folk are embracing their new roles as trainers and teachers.They had great questions and all participated. Scott Brandt gets this stuff and can explain it well. Instructional design for librarians is HOT right now. Are you developing classes? Are you teaching colleagues? You soon could be! Internet Librarians are poised to “own the future,” according to keynoter Lee Rainie of Pew Internet fame. My favorite part of his stuff is the […]

Aaron and I did our IM program Wednesday afternoon. We had a good group — many of whom are now instant messaging by the show of hands Aaron called for. Our PPT is here. Questions? Comments about this one? IM me! mstephens7mac
I am so tired… I will blog some wrap up tomorrow… what a great time it’s been here in Monterey! Plan on next year — October 24-26, 2005! Thanks to my blogging pals for all the good times…
Whew! We did it! dear Steven’s voice was hoarse but it was a great time! Questions ranged from why did I choose NetNewsWire as our RSS app of choice at SJCPL to “What about e-mail and listservs?” Here’s the PPT: Teaching Weblogs in Libraries
I did my first session of the day and WOOOHOO was it fun! What a great group of folks present and a I got top share the satge with a school librarian named Jamie Wilson. It was his first conference presentation ever! He did GREAT! I got to talk about how information literacy as a goal in libraries csn be achieved through staff training, the Web site, public classes and more. My PPT for the talk is here!
* Blogging humanizes a Web site, that’s missing in a lot of library blogs * Link virtual reference services in your blogs (Does SJCPL do this?) (YES we do!) * Treat community bloggers like memebers of the press. * Blog your statitics * Try a photoblog to let people see how cool things are at the library * Blog sites related to news stories and tell the newspaper * If you don’t have a blog, get one! It’s an information channel.
Echoing Brian Kelly, Steven just asked everyone to open up their laptops and blog the presentations in the Blogging track.
I have yet to truly adjust to the west Coast. I’ve hit the bayside trail everymorning before 6am to walk, commune with my music library via my iPod and ponder the day’s stuff. Two presentations to think about today. I also met two neat ladies from Illinois who were walking down to Cannery Row. I said it last night at dinner… I’ll say it again… librarians are friendly folk. Tea beside me, I’m going over some PPTs… See you at the Conference Center!
