Wonderful,Energizing Workshop Today

Today, my Library department had one of it's regularly scheduled monthly "all staff" meetings - actually three one-hour sessions throughout the day. (That schedule lets most of the staff, including part-timers and "evening only" staff participate!)

Today was extra special, tho, because Michael Stephens of Tame the Web fame was here and gave a very engaging and dynamic talk (or three of them!). He spoke on what's next after Library, Learning and Web 2.0 - what we should be looking at for the future (and the present) and what we should learn next.

It was a fascinating hour - and honestly quite gratifying to know that we're doing some things "right" already and energizing with all the wonderful new things we have in front of us! Of course, there are always some obstacles but I don't think they're insurmountable and I'm very hopeful that we'll be able to move forward on a lot of the ideas! I know I have a lot of new sites to check out!

All - in - all a wonderful (long) day -

Thank you Michael - for coming to Virginia Beach!
