THE OPEN-SOURCE ALTERNATIVE: OPTIONS FOR LIBRARIES

Thursday, October 9 @ 12 PM ET

Readers’ advisory is a key component to library services, but with users moving to more virtual domains, we must focus on virtual book talking, creating an online place for readers’ inspiration. Using blogs and online book clubs, learn to inspire rather than advise so patrons of all ages continue making libraries a part of their reading lives.

Prix Innovation

Dear ABQLA colleagues,
 
We are looking for volunteers to work on the 2015 ABQLA Conference Planning Committee.
 
The commitment involves one meeting a month starting in late August until next May 2015. We need people interested in working in the following subcommittees:
 

Come and meet ice storm expert John Gyakum and volcano expert John Stix to learn about Montreal area natural disasters and why certain disasters would not happen here. The professors, who are currently giving a massive open online course (MOOC), will answer your questions about natural disasters. Refreshments will be served.
