DPL North Branch, 1:30 - 3:30pm
(first meeting)
Introductions
Conference Theme
- Creating Communities of Ideals and Innovations
- theme graphic inspiration:
- retro big-letter postcards (posted to the wiki)
- won't be including the year in the graphic, so that themed merchandise will be timeless/reusable
- existing ideas:
- bringing museum/archivist communities into the conference
- a day of programming will feature speakers from those communities
- share common themes: marketing, budget, etc.
- "bring your IT person to this day of the conference"
- "bring your vendor"
- goals and aspirations for this conference? what do you want that you haven't seen?
- marketing and outreach, including graphics (input from people that aren't necessarily librarians)
- open source software
- cheap technology for your library
- how to implement Library 2.0 in your library
- is your OPAC passe?
- how to keep up when things are changing so fast
- how to write a manual/workflow/policies? basic class of how to start your library and how to automate it, etc.
- know about gangs (populations you serve, your community)
- outsourced public libraries
- redefinition of literacy (see most recent American Libraries issue, October 2007)
- help for school librarians (basic course)
- promote TLA conference to new school librarians who don't know about it--reach out to school administrators to get them to send their librarians-- "No School Library Left Behind"
- making the union of new and established librarians a happy marriage
- ideas -- big picture
- promoting skills and needs
- need to look at program tracks
- limit themes to particular days for those who can only attend one day
Program Committee Responsibilities
- (handouts from Pat with TLA)
- responsible for the content of the conference
- a vision for the future and best practices for the present
- 18 months to put the program together
- each person will plan one or two programs
- will serve as a liaison to one or two units of the association
- give them ideas, technical assistance, etc.
- give thought to the groups you'd like to work with (list being handed out)
- liaison relationship isn't a time-consuming one
- good to meet with the group at TLA 2008 conference
- when does this group want to meet at hte 2008 conference?
- subcommittee (list handed out)
- next meeting, we'll discuss which ones you'd want to work on
tips and thoughts for this committee?
- question: if you have another position that will take your time at assembly or conference? how can you work around that?
- as a team, we work together--there are times when you'll get pulled away, but your colleagues will jump in and help you
- it might be good to act as liaison to groups that are already pulling you away--does double-duty
- we'll plan meetings at late night or early morning to avoid conflicts
- in May 2007, the chair of TASA, CRT, ART started talking about programming speakers, flesh out what the youth program looked like for the 2008 conference
- staggering programming for best access
- great relationships established through this
- worked out schedule on butcher paper
- first time that the programming committee had representatives there
- set up a blog and had communications between meetings
- want to be sure session choices are planned cooperatively
- want a content-rich, collaborative conference
- fourth or fifth time with this conference planning
- we represent others in our specific fields: feel them out and see what types of things they would like to see in TLA conference
- talk to those people and ask what they would like to see
- place emphasis on content, not authors
TLA conference wiki
- http://tlacpc.library.unt.edu/index.php5/2009_TLA_Conference_Planning_Committee
- begin to throw out ideas and get assignments: create a spot on the wiki for each person
- everyone will know where you are, what you're dealing with
- we can help bridge people together so that money goes further than it normally would (share speakers, a panel, etc.)
- keep track of it on the wiki
- gives other committee participants a chance to view and respond to ideas on wiki
- TLA office will be able to keep tabs on where we're headed
- first initial for your name and last name, capitalized (username)
- pwd should have come through email, 3 or 4 days ago -- not in the Wimba instructions
- if don't have this pwd through email, contact Dreanna for help--she's re-emailing this out to everyone
keep current to spark new ideas and hot topics
- watch PBS, morning shows, news, outside of our normal professional literature to new areas/fields
- get a sense for the bigger picture
- can get good ideas for speakers outside the field, etc.
- ideas about future meetings
- Tuesdays okay/not ok? maybe 2pm Tuesdays
- on the wiki, will have a vote for which Tuesdays of the month, and morning vs. 2pm
Conference Themes Statement
- will post to wiki for comments
Volunteers for Minutes
- Diane Wahl took minutes today
- can rotate minutes btwn people physically present
- or have one volunteer for a reduction in other assignments
- critical to track brainstorming ideas so they aren't lost or not acted upon
- how to turn minutes into a spreadsheet or otherwise trackable document
- will post minutes to wiki so that they are centrally located and easy to edit/find
- Mary Ann will be taking minutes
General Session Speakers
- what do we ideally want in General Session? I and II, then closing luncheon
- take five minutes to think and chat about speaker ideas
- discussion of various ideas...
- Lilly, Annie and I discussed:
- not an author or journalist
- not another "why I love libraries/librarians"
- fit with the theme of the innovation/ideas in the conference
- want a thinker, visionary
- want to learn something
- someone outside of libraries with a unique viewpoint on library services or someone inside libraries with practical advice/ideas
- literacy studies, gaming in libraries, education, media studies, digital content, citation machine
- other group ideas discussed (see minutes)
- we'll continue to brainstorm general session speakers
- need to think about: who are the hot speakers going to other conferences that we don't necessarily go to, but would like a relationship with?
- Educause, Gaming in Libraries, Internet Librarian, etc.
- tie into theme of creating communities, ideas and innovation
- keep in mind that the general session needs broad appeal, so that many people will attend
