Call for Papers Midwest Chapter/MLA & WHSLA

MIDWEST CHAPTER/MLA & WHSLA

2010 ANNUAL MEETING

CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS

 

The Program Committee invites proposals for contributed papers and posters for the 2010 Annual Meeting in Madison, Wisconsin from September 24-28 at the Best Western Inn on the Park. Put on your walking shoes and join us in the heart of Madison.

 

The conference theme of "Step Up, Step Forward" lends itself to a variety of topics, and provides opportunities for presenters to: share ways they have advocated for their patrons, been involved in improving literacy, overcame current financial challenges, or improved collaborations beyond the library; showcase how they provide new and exciting ways to delivery library services, share innovative uses of technology both within and outside the library walls, or provide a glimpse into the future.

 

Papers and posters may highlight practical problem-solving approaches, document collaborative efforts or outreach activities, describe innovative programs, or report on research in librarianship, resources or services. Contributed paper and poster topics are as unlimited as your imagination.

 

Contributed papers will be presented on Sunday, September 26^th and Monday, September 27^th at both morning and afternoon simultaneous sessions.

 

Posters will be on display on Monday, September 27^th from noon until 6:00 pm. Presenters should be available to discuss their posters during the poster reception from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm on September 27^th.

 

For contributed paper proposals, submit a 250 word abstract to describe your paper. Include your name, position title, address, phone number and email address. The abstract should be emailed to finnegan.brian@marshfieldclinic.org or mailed to: Brian Finnegan, G.E. Magnin Medical Library, Marshfield Clinic, 1000 North Oak Ave, Marshfield, WI 54449-5460.

Check out the CE course co-taught in New Orleans by MN Chapter member Anne Rogers

Posted on behalf of Nerida Hart, HartKnowledge Consulting:

On Saturday the 12th of June Anne Rogers and I will be running a CE course which will teach you how to prove to your organisation the difference you make to their productivity.

Saturday, June 12th

Getting to the Heart of the Story:  Qualitative Evaluation of Library Services Using Narrative Techniques

Time: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Maximum attendance:  50

Presenters:

Nerida Hart, Owner, Hart Knowledge Consulting; 2009 Chair of the KM Division

Anne Rogers, Director, Scientific Knowledge Services; Cargill, Inc.

Description: Information professionals constantly need to sell their worth to their organization. Many of us have learned to collect and aggregate statistics about our products and services, but what is the quality of service and value add we offer to our customers and our organizations? By applying narrative techniques, your instructors will guide you through the methodology for collecting qualitative information, allowing you to better articulate the depth of difference you make to your organization.

I have used this methodology time and time again as a qualitative evaluation technique and have been teaching it for the last 3 years in Australia. Yes, we need to keep statistics and run surveys, but we also need the anecdotes about how we saved the day through our services.  These anecdotes/stories can become the hero stories in your organisation but you need a way of finding them.

The methodology was published in the February issue of Information Outlook and this CE course is a hands on (experiential) learning opportunity.

There is still time to book your place.

Cheers

Nerida

Book and Author Luncheon at SLA

Posted on behalf of Eliza Robertson, SLA MAHD chair:

Consider this meeting in New Orleans, especially if you are interested in publishing.  Chin Music Press produces beautifully made books, focusing on two themes:  contemporary New Orleans and contemporary Japanese subjects in English.  It's also the closest you may find these days to a traditional small press.  Come to the Book and Author Lunch to learn more!  It's not too late to register.

MAHD Book and Author Luncheon
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
12:00pm - 1:30pm
Ticketed Event #582 Price: $60

New Orleans author and scholar David Rutledge is involved with traditional and electronic publishing with Chin Music Press, including editing the handsome Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans? The anthology is a response to Katrina, presenting the experiences of a number of people during the disaster and also celebrating the culture of the city. His edgy blog is down right now.  Rutledge has taught in the English Department at the University of New Orleans since 1999. David will also be signing books in the SLA Marketplace Tuesday, 2:30-3:15.
