Monterey Conference Center
One of the strong points of Internet Librarian conferences is the number of simultaneous tracks and how much ground you can cover in one day of program attendance - either immersing yourself in a track for the day or moving across tracks.
Conference Session
Today's tracks were:
- Information Discovery & Search
- Social Media: Leveraging Web 2.0
- Learning
- Digital Library Practices
A few things interesting thoughts gleaned from today's sessions:
- With the confluence of different interactions taking place online, some of what we perceive as ephemeral might turn out to archival. -- Vint Cerf, VP & Chief Internet Evangelist, Google (Keynote)
- We need to be address bit rot and the potential for losing access to our digital archives. What happens if we no longer have the equipment needed to access these files. -- Vint Cerf, VP & Chief Internet Evangelist, Google (Keynote)
- We want our e-learning to sparkle and not create zombies. -- Lori Reed, Employee Learning & Development Coordinator for the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County (E-Learning: Trends & Tools)
- Favorite phrase I heard today from a speaker for convincing people to give something a chance they might not otherwise want to do: "Let's just try this and see if it works." -- Erin Downey-Howerton, School Liaison, Johnson County (KS) Library (Sneaknig the Social Web Into Your Library & Going Beyond 23 Things)
- Put chat windows and help links where customers are upset. -- Julie Strange, Maryland AskUsNow! & Amy Kearns, CJRLC (Micro Interactions, Conversatins, & Customers: Sweet Tweet Strategies)
