  1. Really good session. Lots of interesting stuff to consider concerning how to get library crew some fun ways to learn.
  2. Ever notice how sometimes, opening up a class 4 comments can lead 2 the class being hijacked by egotistical people that think they r great?
  3. Main concept is that training doesn't always lead to learning. However, learning can sometimes result from training.
  4. Next session is Creating a Culture of Learning in Your Library.
  5. 4th speaker is talking about librarianship from perspective of working in USA but having international effect. Not actually working overseas
  6. This third speaker is killing me. Just reading, not speaking. No anecdotes from personal experience, just talking about other's experiences
  7. Second speaker is CEO of OCLC. Basically a report on what has happened with OCLC in terms of overseas growth. Kind of interesting.
  8. First speaker is discussing influences on libraries & librarians in foreign libraries: ie. politics, culture, media saturation, etc
  9. 2 of the speakers here are very active with IFLA.
  10. Lots of interesting people in this session, but my mistake: 1 actually worked outside the USA a lot. Should b interesting 2 c what they say.
  11. Getting ready 4 next session Academic Libraries & International Librarianship. None of d speakers seems 2 b from anywhere except USA. Weird!
  12. Also might be good to build these competencies into questions for the interview process when hiring.
  13. Interesting idea in the middle management was 2 use core competencies 4 librarians as a way of doing annual performance evaluation.
  14. @tintcity B there on the 18th. Looking 4ward 2 a nice break from work.

  16. One of our librarians made d local paper, but the library and librarian not mentioned.
  17. This morning I m at a program called "I'm a leader, I'm a follower". It's talking about middle management techniques.
  18. Reinvented reference is always a good workshop. This year they discussed 4 ideas: collaboration, IT, reference staffing & assessment.
  19. Friday morning, went 2 registration then got on a bus 2 take me 2 d workshop reinvented reference. Wrong bus! Had 2 walk 2 the other hotel.
  20. Got 2 ALA Thursday nite. Wow! What a flight. Dog tired & ready to crash. Palmer House Hilton is SWEET.
