Florida Library Association Annual Conference

I attended the FLA Conference in Orlando last week. What did I learn? Among other things, Collaboration through my service at the Registration Desk on Wednesday morning. There were four to five people coordinating different facets of the check-in process that made the whole registration process more efficient. I attended a workshop on Strategic Planning which provided step-by-step instructions on how to conduct your own Strategic Planning Process. I re-connected with some friends and made new ones from the Sunshine Statewide Leadership Institute Workshop. I learned about the latest version of ALEPH v. 19 that will come online at the places I work at this summer. A great conference which inspired me to sign-up for membership as soon as I can this month.

Mindspotting!! A New Approach for Public Libraries

Just checking my blog links this week and ran across an intersting video on the LibraryBytes Blog. A public library in Denmark is using an innovative approach to attract the next generation to their library. It is called "Mindspotting" and is really interesting! Here is the link to their video if you care to see what they are doing: http://www.librarybytes.com/2009/05/mindspotting-in-aarhus.html
