Reminder: Library Camp Unconference at AADL, this Friday, May 8
by Sara Wedell 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that you are invited to attend Library Camp: An Unconference on Friday, May 8, 2015: 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. There's still time to register! This event is intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. It's an informal unconference-style, intended to gather people to share ideas, technologies, and to spark discussion. This event is free to attend and will be held at the Downtown Library at 343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI. The goal is to get a bunch of people together, and let them talk about whatever they'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and get together to discuss what we'd like to talk about and fill in a few slots on the agenda. We've got time for four sessions and room for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. To help jump-start the conversation, we're proposing 4 tracks: Nontraditional Collections, Ebooks & Licensing, Special Events, Summer & Gaming. AADL staff will be on hand to talk a bit about these things at AADL, but like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! Further details: http://www.aadl.org/libcamp15 . We hope you can join us, so thanks, and s ee you May 8! Sara Wedell Production Librarian | Ann Arbor District Library wedells(a)aadl.org | (734) 327-4225
