Here at last are PDFs of the presentations I did for SLIS South Africa in October! I had to reinstall Adobe Acrobat and then update it with a patch… one of those little projects. The files are SO much smaller in PDF. I know there are people who loathe PDF, but I gotta say… small is good.
1. SLIS Preconference, A Library 2.0 Cookbook
2. SLIS Keynote, The User Is Not Broken

Hi!
I’d like to include a link to your PDF on your S. Africa presentation on Library 2.0 on a wiki a committee in our district has created on Innovative Technology: http://aclalibinnovation.pbwiki.com
Let me know if that’s ok!
Thanks!

Thanks, Karen, for posting these — great stuff as usual! I was struck by my independent use of the solar system analogy in a presentation I’m working on now. We are accustomed to thinking of the catalog as the center of the solar system, when, as you (and I) point out, it is the user that should be at the center of our solar system. I call this our own “Copernican Revolution”. Great minds!
Indeed, Roy! (The typical OPAC is Pluto… not as big as once thought…)
Kelley, please do link to this presentation–I don’t need to be notified when it gets linked but it was nice of you to ask anyway.
Thank you so much for sharing your presentation – I enjoy your posts very very much and hope its ok, that I’ll post it in our http://www.globolibro.de blog? (international and innovative news from public libraries)

Kirsten… anyone… link, reuse, enjoy!
Fantastic presentations!! I wouldn’t normally be so enthusiastic about presentations with 70 slides, but without sound, these totally worked for me! Not only that, they’re so clear that I’ve recommended it as a really great primer on Library 2.0 on my blog. Congrats!
