ACRL's User at the Center

I wish I could watch this, but I'll be at the ISLMA conference giving a presentation on November 9. Check out the stellar line-up for ACRL's Virtual Institute on The User at the Center:

  • Jeffrey Trzeciak, McMaster University - "framing" featured speaker (I think this essentially means virtual keynote?)
  • Meredith Farkas, Norwich University - Building Collaboration with Wikis
  • David Free, Georgia Perimeter College - Podcasting: A Primer for Libraries
  • David Lee King, Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library - Introduction to Videoblogging
  • Kathryn Miller, National Louis University - Teaching Faculty to Thrive in an Electronic Library Environment
  • Kristin Partlo, Carleton College - Developing Collectibles: Increasing Visibility with Trading Cards
  • Tom Peters, TAP Information Services - Academic Libraries and Second Life
  • Mark Puterbaugh, Eastern University - The VBI Project: A Virtual Social World
  • Alane Wilson, OCLC - Their Perceptions, Our Reality: College Students, Libraries, Information Resources and the Library Brand
  • Raymond Yee, University of California, Berkeley - A Practical Guide to Remixing the Library
