Library Camp Kansas wrap up

I spent more time talking and participating than note taking, but there are some great notes from the sessions on the wiki.  I’d like to public thank Josh, Erin, Jason and everyone else who helped make it a success.  It was great to see so many of my online friends face to face, especially Kathyrn Greenhill who is on a mad tour around The States.  She’s just as lovely in person as she is online!   It was a great deal with many wonderful particpants and I’m hoping there will be another one next year.

people place content communication harry potter & star wars are media neutral – books, movies, bcd, video game, toys, backpack why are people coming into the libraries? Use the computer, Internet access on laptop, to just read the newspaper in the company of others library as a third space’ library as a town activity center including things as swimming pool kathryn says academic libraries in australia are coordinating more and more with the other communities technology is evolving so fast, can we keep up? Do we feel like we are keeping up? What about the education gap not just for staff but for patrons as well? its ok to fail, you need time to play, its ok to play with things that dont work out learning needs to be a priority and management and staff need to make it a priority Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Share on netvibes share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Buzz it up Subscribe to the comments on this post Print for later Tell a friend
