Iowa’s virtual conference in January. Protect your calendars for January 20, 2011 for the 4th annual ISLOC: Iowa Small Libraries Online Conference. Sponsored by the LSAs and the State Library, ISLOC offers fun and effective online learning from the comfort of home.
This year’s ISLOC theme is “Exploring the Possibilities, Embracing the Future.” Planning begins ‘roundabout August; the team has been busily loading up the schedule with topics, speakers, poster sessions, and a virtual exhibit hall. Familiar Iowa speakers will be on hand, along with speakers from other states.
While we’re still working on the conference website, here’s a sneak peek at some of the topics on tap—from early morning to early evening:
The Bookstore Model
Tech Trends for Small Libraries
Presentation Zen
Recruiting and Managing Volunteers
Youth Outreach
Staff Incentives on a Budget
And much more. There’s a keynote presentation in the morning to kicks things off and a closing keynote in the evening especially for trustees. Details will be posted on this website http://www.swilsa.lib.ia.us/isloc/ and registration will be available in the c.e. catalog soon...we’ll let you know when that’s ready.
When venturing out to workshops often poses problems in January, staying tucked inside attending ISLOC is a warm alternative. Mark your calendars and join the fun for ISLOC 2011!
