My display and presentation was about the training I facilitated for my library as part of my Master Trainer program earlier this year. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Customer Experience focuses on how we can train [...]

Here is a different take on “Death by PowerPoint.” I’m not sure of the source of this cartoon as someone left it in my mailbox a few years ago, but it serves as a reminder that PowerPoint does not equal presentation.

This was my second ALA event and first time at Midwinter. While ALA Annual is about the programs, ALA Midwinter [...]
