The Conference is over…now what?
29-01-2018
After the last session, when everyone is on their way home, is the only item left on your to-do list the final report? It isn’t that long ago when only the Board wanted an update on how well the conference’s objectives were met, but today, your meeting participants and association members are expecting more.
Looking back and looking forward

It’s a new year, and with that comes the anticipation of what’s in store, mixed with reflection and review of the years gone by. Join us as we look back at the numbers from our conception in 2001 to October 2017, by viewing our latest Infographic. Here’s to celebrating 16 years in business, and the many more years ahead!
Library Generations – From Catalogue, Bilateral, Computer Debutants to Virtual
28-11-2017
People like to name things. And then try to figure out what the name means. This really applies to our generations – from the “Baby Boomers” (that’s where I fit in) to “Generation X,” then “Generation Y” (albeit changed by someone to the “Millennials”), to the newest generation, “Generation Z,” or “Founders”, neither of which seem that descriptive. I propose we name generations based on how libraries are organized.

The benefits of continuous improvement
28-08-2017
