I won’t make it to ACLCP this time. Too many classes still! Looking forward to meeting you at THATCamp!

Ok, Denise. I added categories for a talk session and for libraries. I’ll post to our School Facebook page and on Twitter to get the word out a little bit. if you know other librarians who have interests in digital humanities in the area please let them know about your talk session and about other things going on at our THATCamp.

Beth – That would be great; I’d very much enjoy meeting you. Will you also be attending ACLCP?

Yes. Please do categorize as a Talk session proposal. Thanks!

Thanks, Denise. This sounds like it would make a worthwhile “Talk” session proposal. Check out the different kinds of sessions under the “Propose” tab. I know we are trying to recruit librarians to the THATCamp (academic librarians and otherwise), so you might have fertile ground for a Talk session. It doesn’t require a whole lot, enough knowledge to set the grounds for why a topic is important, your own view of things, and then some responsibility to guide discussion and keep it going. Except for workshops, THATCamps are designed to be interactive and conversational rather than presentations or demonstrations of knowledge. If you think you’d like to sponsor such a session on Library assessment needs, I can go ahead and categorize this as a Talk session proposal. What happens then is on the first day all in attendance talk, vote, and make some decisions on which sessions are likely to garner the most interests, and we go from there.

As the collection development/analysis librarian at Messiah College, this sounds very interesting. I look forward to learning more! Perhaps we can meet individually at THATCamp for more discussion as well!
