Wow! that was a lot to pack into one day. I especially enjoyed the section on ethics; although I've read the information before, it's always helpful to review and hear a discussion. More information on how to balance theory with reality - maybe some mock "real" situations with people playing one part or the other would be great. For example, one person could be the irate parent who wants to pull the famous child wizard series, and the other could be the library director.
Unfortunately, I was trying to improve my empathetic listening skills, and did not take extensive written notes... I think - given everything that was packed into today I may regret that decision.
Check out the view from my room! that will be a distraction when I try to get homework done.
You are so clever to include a photo in your blog! It looks nice. I think you are right about taking extensive notes. So much information, so little mind... Gail
ReplyDeleteLove the picture and have enjoyed meeting you as well. We are gaining lots of knowledge but almost more importantly some new great friends!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to meet people who share many of the same experiences, but at the same time, have different ones of their own that we may benefit from sharing our experiences and stories with one another. We all have a lot in common, especially our love for libraries and the communities we serve.
