CSLA: What have you done for me lately?

I'm a nice guy. I eat all my vegetables. I treat people fairly. I do my homework.

And what does it get me?

For the second year in a row CSLA has scheduled my presentation on Sunday morning. Last year I even had famous library people present with me and I still got Sunday.

See, people often leave before Sunday and/or leave on Sunday.

I even have a cool topic (creating an online course for library service students).

Actually, I am looking forward to going to the conference. It's always a wonderful event. Have you signed up yet?

New job in the fall

And, after all has been said and done, I accepted that district position (subject to some changes that mostly won't be discussed here). Starting soon, I will be teacher on special assignment for online learning and library services. What does that mean?

It means that 80% of my time will be working with creating a new online learning program for my school district. With what is left, I will be working with libraries at the district level to create resources that benefit all of our libraries.

Still many details to work out, but I have decided that I am pleased with how it all turned out.

Yes, all librarians need to watch this video. Thank you for your time.
