e-info global
Got back yesterday from the 2nd Annual E-Info Global Symposium at the University of Alabama Huntsville, which focused on technology, innovation and change in academic libraries. And what a great conference it was! Excellent speakers, fascinating conversations, and fabulously friendly people (those Southerners!). I did something I haven’t done in a good, long time: I wrote notes all the way home, from Huntsville to Memphis to Toronto (yay free wifi in tiny airports!). Notes about people I want to talk to, things I want to do, books I need to read, and ideas I want to research. It was so energizing!
I gave a talk called Staff Development 2.0 (pdf, 4.9 mb) on Learning 2.0 and Five Weeks, and I’m not sure if it was all the cookies I scoffed all afternoon, but I raced though a 45-minute presentation in 30 minutes. Not my best outing! Still fun though (for me, at least) and a few attendees did tell me that they were inspired to do a little staff development 2.0 at their own institutions, so that’s something. They video-recorded all the sessions and hope to have them up in January, I’ll link to them when they’re up.
