The unconference model lends itself to a dynamic yet casual format for sharing ideas and learning from each other. No one leads; all have an opportunity to share.
UNCONFERENCE SESSION #3 on Monday, June, 15, 2009, from 3:30 PM-5:00 PM
- Focus: Conversants ~ While libraries house information in a wide variety of formats, librarians are charged with ensuring that their users are connected with the information that they require. But librarians do more than just connect people to information; they help people build knowledge.
- Session facilitators: Karen Huffman and Jill Hurst-Wahl.
UNCONFERENCE SESSION #6 on Tuesday, June, 16, 2009, from 1:30 PM-3:00 PM

- Session facilitators: Karen Huffman and Mary Talley.
