Yes, I know a little bit about PowerPoint
So, late Wednesday night, Brad turns to me and says “Do you know anything about PowerPoint?”
Since I wasn’t sure if he was pulling my leg or not, I replied grinning “Yes, a little.”
He said “Do you know how to make a PowerPoint presentation?”
Grinning even wider, I replied “Yes, I think so. Why?”
“Well,” he said [...]
The WILU 37 presentations in E-LIS
Here’s the direct link to all of the WILU 37 presentations that have been contributed to E-LIS, courtesy of one of the lovely volunteers at E-LIS. It would be worth checking back to this webpage a couple days from now since about one item per day seems to be the rate at which presenters [...]
Posted by Laurie on May 30th, 2008 under Conferences, Laurie speaks! | Comment now »Library Alphabet — K stands for Keywords
I thought about making a joke about the library having everything, including books about fixing the kitchen sink to use the letter “k”… but then I realized that was lame. It also feels lame to talk about keywords since that seems such an obvious choice for the Library Alphabet.
But is talking about Keywords within [...]
It’s official — I’m going on pre-paid leave Sept. 1 /09 to June 1/10
YAY!!
It’s official so I can finally announce it here: My request for pre-paid leave has been approved!
For the next 15 months I’ll be on reduced pay and then get that money back while on a 9 month leave Sept. 1/09 to June 1/10. I work at an institution of higher learning (IHL) [...]
A good presentation on what other librarians are doing in Content Management Systems (CMSs)
One of the presentations I enjoyed watching at WILU was about what two librarians are doing at their own institution using Moodle to raise the profile of the library and be more accessible to those students in that environment.
Now, not every co-presentation of people at vastly different libraries makes for a good combination, [...]
When conference presentations don’t translate well into digital repositories
I got all excited, seeing that a presentation I missed in WILU had been added to E-LIS. But, when I clicked on the link for the PPT it was just two pages long and the slides didn’t make any sense to me.
Guess this is where digital repositories really fail us, huh? [...]
Mind Map of InfoLit Resources
A Librarian from the US compiled all of the InfoLit Resources that she knew of from the ili-l listserv and created this incredible Mind Map of InfoLit Resources.
It’s really neat to see the world from someone else’s point of view. Personally, I would have added different resources and organized a few sections [...]
Putting a *real* library tour into iPods — presentation from WILU 37, May 2008
One of the presentations I saw last week at WILU was this librarian from the States who used iPods to deliver library tours to students. It’s a unique approach. It’s essentially using the capacity of the iPod to do tours like in museums. I think for a very large library, this would [...]

Wasn’t able to make it to the WILU conference and/or our 3 hour workshop on online lesson planning and Adobe Captivate? Well, the next best thing would be all of our handouts, including the PowerPoint with talking points in the Notes:
