Speaker/Author on whistle blowers
by Jennifer Hassell 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

To tie in to the Great Michigan Read and author Mona Hannah-Attisha's library visits I'd like to add some programming around whistle blowers or investigative journalism that exposes abuses of power. Does anyone have recommendations of authors or presenters that cover this topic? Or perhaps someone who covers one particular instance of a cover up exposed? Thanks!

Call for Speakers - Big Talk from Small Libraries Online Conference
by White, Shannon (MDE) 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Every year we help publicize the Big Talk from Small Libraries online conference that our colleagues at the state library in Nebraska coordinate. This is an opportunity to share and also gain experience presenting online to a wide audience. We have had several Michigan library staff participate as presenters and attendees over the years. Please take some time to check out the details on the upcoming 2020 online event. You can find out more at https://www.facebook.com/BigTalkFromSmallLibraries/ and here http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk/ The Call for Speakers for Big Talk From Small Libraries 2020 is now open! This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better! We are looking for speakers from small libraries or speakers who directly work with small libraries. Small libraries of all types - public, academic, school, museum, special, etc. - are encouraged to submit a proposal<https://forms.gle/GPbwvxMMrkFyk2rZA>. We're looking for seven 50-minute presentations and five 10-minute "lightning round" presentations. Do you offer a service or program at your small library that other librarians might like to hear about? Have you implemented a new (or old) technology, hosted an event, partnered with others in your community, or just done something really cool? The Big Talk From Small Libraries online conference gives you the opportunity to share what you've done, while learning what your colleagues in other small libraries are doing. Here are some possible topics to get you thinking: ? Unique Libraries ? Special Collections ? New buildings ? Fundraising ? Improved Workflows ? Staff Development ? Advocacy Efforts ? Community Partnerships ? That great thing you're doing at your library! Big Talk From Small Libraries 2019 will be held on Friday, February 28, 2020 between 9:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (ET) via the GoToWebinar online meeting service. Speakers will be able to present their programs from their own desktops. The schedule will accommodate speakers' time-zones. If you are interested in presenting, please submit your proposal<https://forms.gle/GPbwvxMMrkFyk2rZA> by Friday, January 3, 2020. Speakers from libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people will be preferred, but presentations from libraries with larger service populations will be considered.
