Library Camp 2012

Page history last edited by Deb Noggle 11 years, 8 months ago

ACPL Library Camp will take place at the Allen County Public Library Main Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Wednesday, October 24, 2012.  This UN-conference will feature guest speakers, presentation opportunities for you, and a plan-as-we-go format of breakout sessions in the afternoon.   If you've never been to an UN-conference before, it's a great way to learn what you want to learn while networking with other librarians! 

 

This year's featured guest speakers will be announced soon.

 

At Library Camp we'll focus on library technology, innovation and problem-solving.  Wikipedia defines an unconference as "a facilitated, face-to-face, and participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose".  Unlike other conferences, Library Camp costs nothing except the price of gas, food, and lodging if you plan to stay overnight.  Everyone eager to discuss libraries, technology and innovation is welcome, students and professionals alike.

 

A portion of ACPL's Library Camp will follow the Pecha Kucha Night format: 20 Powerpoint slides in 6 minutes!  People who want to share will give 6-minute presentations, followed by 1-minute Q & A.  We will cram 6-8 presentations into 45 minutes.  If you present a pecha kucha, you'll receive an ACPL mystery gift!  Interested in sharing a pecha kucha? E-mail: dnoggle@acpl.info  Want to know an easy way to remember how to pronounce "pecha kucha"? Click here for a video clip.

 

Staff attending all day will receive three LEU (Library Education Units); two will be Technology LEUs.

 

Dress for the day is casual.  

 

To add your name to the list of attendees, please e-mail dnoggle[at]acpl.info  The first 75 registered attendees will receive one of the groovy much-sought-after 2012 Library Camp T-shirts!

Socializing with Google 

Take a look with me at the new social platform Google+. Learn about how Google is challenging Facebook and is how Google+  integrates with today's mobile technology. We will look at Google+ circles, using the “+” feature, vertical integration, sparks and hangouts. At the end you should have enough information to decide if Google+ is for you.

We Have Stop Meeting Like This!                
WebEx is not voodoo, it's not hard to use, and it's definitely not scary!  So why aren't we utilizing it to hold meetings, archive work progress and literally save gas money and travel time?  After learning the basics of web conferencing, you'll say, "We have to stop meeting like this!"                                    
                                   
Brent Ferguson
Are We Dead Yet?                
"Some of the hardest reference questions I've answered at the reference desk lately is Where is the bathroom and the stairs (10 feet behind you). The Internet, budget cutbacks, and recession are game changers and are killing us, or are they?  Using technology with knowledge of recent demographic shifts, we can resuscitate ourselves. Clear!
