Did you know that the NYS Library, Department of Library Development (DLD) is making the 2006-2007 College of DuPage teleconferences available to NYS libraries for free?! This is a great opportunity to establish a discussion group or take your staff meeting to a whole new level! You can register to view the sessions via satellite download or (better for most of us) web-delivered streaming video. One person at a computer or a room full of library staff can view and participate in any or all of the Soaring to Excellence (SE) and Library Challenges and Opportunities (LCO) sessions. Full details are now available at http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/dupage.htm Here is the list of upcoming sessions –
Feb. 09, 2007 - Next Gen Librarianship: Where do we go from
here? (SE)
Mar. 23, 2007- Library Transformation: Making it happen
(LCO)
Apr. 13, 2007 - The Best from the Web (SE)
May 11, 2007 - The Relevance of Libraries in a Digital Age
(LCO)
If you missed the first session, Best New Technologies: Keeping up with the storm, you will be able to view it as a streaming video at any time within 60 days of its showing on October 27. It was an excellent overview of the new generation of communication tools. It, and many past sessions, are available as slideshows or streaming video on the NYS DLD site, http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/dupage.htm (NH)
