CLA Library Camp

Update! We’ve made a couple of changes to ETIG Camp!

The Emerging Tech Interest Group of CLA (which I co-convene with the lovely and talented Amy Buckland) is hosting a library-camp-style pre-conference at CLA in May. The details:

Jessamyn West (yes THE Jessamyn West of librarian.net) will kick-off our day with a keynote on emerging technologies, followed by two sessions on using these technologies in your library. The afternoon will be an “unconference”, where participants will share and learn on a variety of topics pre-determined by the group. (Note: this is not a “sage on the stage” afternoon – come armed with a curious nature and a will to participate.)

Speaker: Jessamyn West, librarian.net
Date & Location: Friday, 29 May 2009 @ Palais des congrès McGill University Library Cyberthèque
Registration Fee: $100.00 $40 (we’ll accept cash the morning of the event & provide a receipt if you need one)
Registration Includes: Two refreshments breaks and lunch Afternoon break

I’m really happy to hear that Jessamyn is appearing at the Emerging Tech Camp, but I have to wonder whether there were any Canadian librarians available who could have presented on the very same topic?

Hi Cecily — you’re probably right, we could have gotten a number of Canadians to speak *on the same topic*. However, we asked Jessamyn (and she graciously agreed) not so much because of the topic, but because she’s an outstanding speaker who makes the topic approachable, interesting and engaging. Bottom line? We asked Jessamyn because she is Jessamyn!

Also, I’m not going to lie, we need to sell out this precon for it to happen, so we needed a keynote that would bring people in, and Jessamyn brings people in!
