***** Deadline for registration is May 21 *****
"Integrating Learning with Work: Designing the 21st Century Learning
Library" presented by LAMA will be held on Friday June 25 as a
preconference to the American Library Association (ALA) Annual
Conference in New Orleans. The registration deadline is May 21.
Presenter Julie Todaro, head librarian, Austin (TX) Community
College, Rio Grande Campus, will provide a vision for the library as a
learning organization and offer practical instruction in how to
achieve this goal in your own institution. Through a combination of
lecture, discussion, self-analysis and small group work, attendees
will focus on creating the ideal learning environment; defining
terminology and incorporating learning language into the
organization's mission, goals, and documents; examining models and
best practices of work environments with ongoing training, education
and development programs; identifying competencies and individual
learning and teaching styles; balancing cutting edge resources for
staff and public use; and creating an outline and first steps toward
individualized plans of action that can be implemented immediately.
Participants will receive a substantive handbook that will recap
information presented throughout the day; provide examples, forms and
checklists; list print and electronic resources; and allow workshop
information to be personalized for later use.
This preconference is designed for librarians, administrators, staff
development personnel, human resources staff, and anyone responsible
for staff training, education, development and learning in libraries
of all types and sizes.
