Here is a copy of the slides I used for tonight’s ASTD Charlotte presentation on libraries, Learning 2.0, and Web 2.0. I spent hours and hours searching for just the right images to get the message across with out limited bullet points.

If you are in the Charlotte, NC area next Thursday I’ll be presenting a program for the ASTD Charlotte Chapter. I’m really excited about this opportunity because about 10 years ago when I decided I wanted to work full-time in learning & development I joined ASTD.

Wow have 9 weeks gone by already?
