Staff Development on a Shoestring Conference

October 13th, 2009 by Elin Waagen

Bryan Carson and I recently presented our Fall ‘08 Tasty Tech Tidbits series at the Dartmouth College 2009 October Conference
We used a new web presentation tool called Prezi (thanks Joe A!) to deliver our talk. Our presentation was one of several for the 1-day conference – and it was nice to see the friendly faces of Brenda, Terry, Joy and Karen (spouse of Mike) Lynch in the audience.  All presentations are now posted on the Dartmouth Conference site.  Check it out – there are some interesting ideas – including using Jing to develop tutorials and a learning 2.0 program using the 23 Things concept.

2009 Vermont Library Conference

April 24th, 2009 by Brenda Ellis

Submitted by Brenda Ellis

The conference will be held May 12th and 13th at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center in S. Burlington.  This year’s theme is: “Speaking Up! Advocacy for Libraries”.  Our own former Dean Barbara Doyle-Wilch is one of the co-chairs of the conference.  Featured speakers include Chris Bohjalian, Marshall Keys, Wayne Piper, Keith Curry Lance, and Jan Reynolds.  Mark Nash will perform “Underneath the Lintel”.  The highlight of Tues. will surely be the advocacy cocktail party “Celebrate Vermont Libraries” (can you guess which committee I’m on) which will feature displays highlighting the impact of VT libraries on our users.  Many politicians and officials have been invited (did I say the theme is advocacy?).  See the conference website for all the details. http://www.vermontlibraryconference.org/index.html
