With all the busy-ness of work in the library, there’s very little time to meet as a group to talk about the experiences we’ve had at recent conferences, webinars, workshops, and other professional development events.  Have you ever asked someone, “How was the conference you went to last week?” To which they probably replied, “Great!”  You wanted to hear more, they probably would have liked to tell you more. But that was all the time there was.

So here is the place where we can all find out more and benefit from our amazing collective experiences in all areas of library and IT work.  This summer has been filled with learning both here in Storrs (think of the Sciences Boot Camp!), statewide, regionally, and nationally.

Next time you attend an event, especially if you were the lucky one to receive library support to attend, gather your notes and post some highlights here before you forget. This blog is only internal to library staff and is not shared publicly so don’t worry about the “social media” aspects. It’s just for us. Hopefully you’ll ignite a fire for someone else and energy will build.  Be creative. Two short posts, one longer one, a few choice URLs from the presenter, your evaluation or recommendation of the event, and your most memorable take aways.
