Two online appearances

This will be the first week in about two months that I won't be getting on an airplane. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to be spreading my little bits of wisdom here and there. (Somewhat analogous to a bird planting new mulberry trees, I believe.)

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Novemember 18th, I'll be doing a webinar for Linworth called, "A Professional Fitness Plan: Web 2.0 Tools to Develop a Personal Learning Network." Here's the description:

Continuing education prior to Web 2.0 consisted of reading professional journals, attending library conferences, and taking college classes. These activities are still available and important. But given the pace and amount of change, they alone are insufficient to keep most of us current with the happenings in librarianship and information technology. This workshop explores online continuing education options, both formal and informal, and strategies for developing one’s own Personal Learning Network.

Information on getting registered and technical details are here.

For the insanely dedicated and insomniacs (at least in the western U.S.), BlueSkunk Johnson will be appearing with Chris (Shambles) Smith and Dianne McKenzie in Second Life at 4 AM SLT (Pacific Time) Wednesday, November 19 to have a casual conversation about library issues. Details here.

Oh, I'll be doing a live session for the Minnesota Library Asssociation in Minneapolis this Friday at 8AM on "Policies for Web 2.0", some workshops and sessions for TIES in Minneapolis in Decemeber, and even driving over to Madison, Wisconsin in January for their New Promise conference.

But no flights for work until January 27, 2009. Sort of nice...
