Attention resource-sharing professionals!

 

I wanted to alert you to two very exciting and important upcoming
workshops relevant to your field.

These events provide you with critical opportunities to engage with
colleagues on hot topics in the field, and also gain skills and
information that are indispensable to your resume and your on-the-job
success.


Both events will be held in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the
2010 ALA Annual Conference <http://www.ala.org/annual> , but you and
your colleagues do not need to register for the conference in order to
participate in these workshops. The best prices on these events end on
Friday, May 14, when Advance Registration closes. All the details are
below--click on the link in the event description to learn more.

events!

A full-day workshop featuring a thought-provoking examination of
technology and how its pervasive development is challenging traditional
approaches to resource-sharing and content access. Top experts will
examine users' different information-seeking behaviors and how they
differ significantly from how libraries have traditionally provided
information. Participants will also discuss technological limitations
inherent in sharing resources across disparate systems; innovative
approaches that are broadening the definition of resource-sharing; and
the impact of digital publishing, library end-user research, and
innovative implementations of resource-sharing. Speakers: Lee Rainie,
Pew Internet & American Life Project; Marshall Breeding, Vanderbilt
University Libraries; Kyle Banerjee, Orbis Cascade Alliance, Michael
Lascarides, New York Public Library; Cyril Oberlander, SUNY College at
Geneseo; and Bryan Skib, University of Michigan.

This half-day preconference will help attendees to sort through the
myriad of ILL statistics available from a variety of sources and how to
use these numbers to make decisions about staffing, collection
development and other important workplace issues. You'll gain practical
knowledge regarding the creation of reports, manipulation of canned
reports supplied by vendors, and how to use this data to provide quality
service.
