2010 SLA Conference Report

I know it has been some time since I have gotten back from New Orleans and the 2010 SLA Conference, but it is the end of the month, and I thought I would write out a report about the conference.

One of my main duties as chair elect of the Sci-Tech Division was to continue DST program planning for the 2011 conference in Philadelphia. I worked with a lot of other great people and divisions to layout the schedule and topics for next year.

For the rest of the conference, I was able to attend many great sessions, and I was able to send out many tweets from those sessions. I also blogged about one of the sessions at Collaborative Librarianship News.

One of my favorite sessions was from from Scott Brown and Kim Dority.

Some others that I attended were:

• SLA Rising Stars and SLA Fellows Roundtable
• Academic Division Roundtable session where we discussed marketing and outreach aspects of librarianship.
• "Future of Science Librarianship," Contributed Papers.
• Data Curation: Reinventing Science Librarianship
• Library of the Future: Conversations in the Round
• Science Information on Mobile Devices
• SLA Division and Joint Cabinet Meeting
• Astronomy Roundtable
• Closing General Session
