Transformers, more than meets the eye
ALA Annual 2007 - Saturday
I went to a great session this morning. It was the first of five programs in Leslie Burger’s Transformation Track and it featured George Needham, Joan Frye Williams, and Karen Hyman. Needham and Frye started off by tag-teaming on a presentation and Hyman followed up with a very funny, informative presentation. I think the complete presentations will be put up on the wiki eventually here, but for now, here are my notes in a downloadable pdf:

Here are my notes from the second transformation track session I attended today.

After my second session, I had dinner with other APALA members at a local Indian restaurant and had a great time. I met a lot of APALA people at the midwinter conference in Seattle, so it was nice to see them again and catch up. It’s also nice because I feel like I learn so much just by sitting and having conversations with veteran librarians.
After dinner a friend, and fellow Emerging Leader, headed over to the late-night reception Leslie Burger had for the Emerging Leaders group at her presidential suite. The place was incredible because it had a terrace with a great view of the city at night. It was nice to see new friends and professional colleagues in a more social setting. Now it’s late and I’ve got to get some sleep before another long day tomorrow.
