ALA CLENE Training Showcase

ALA Saturday Session: Creating a Culture of Learning

Saturday I gave one of my favorite presentations ever. Previously I’ve given this presentation as a webinar for WebJunction. The session covers the differences between training and learning, why learning is important, and ways you can become a learning organization. My co-presenter was Pat Carterette from the State Library of Georgia. There were some great [...]

Watch out ALA, here I come…

It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, I was ready to boycott ALA.

ALA Midwinter Wrap Up

ALA Midwinter 2009 has been over for just over a month now and as I’ve found with other conferences and travel, I get so far behind while I’m away, it gets hard to catch back up.
This was my second ALA event and first time at Midwinter. While ALA Annual is about the programs, ALA Midwinter [...]

ALA Part V: CLENE Fun and MaintainIT Project Fun

I spent Sunday afternoon with fellow trainers at the CLENE Training Showcase. I am new member of CLENE, and let me just say that this is a great group of people! It makes it so much easier to navigate through ALA when you have a relatively small group like this to be a [...]

ALA Part I: Thursday and Friday

It’s been nearly a week since I returned from ALA, and I am still exhausted. As I mentioned before this was my first library conference and I could not have picked a better conference or location.

I arrived in Anaheim Thursday afternoon, registered and received my orange tote, unpacked, ironed, and sorted out the 60lb [...]
