More highlights from ALA

There are so many amazing sessions which took place at the recent ALA conference in Chicago, it is hard to know where to start with suggesting session to look at.

Beyond Genre: exploring the perception, uses,and misuses of genre by readers, writers, and librarians  has a very useful reading list about genre discussions. It includes books and website.

You can find out about maker spaces, you can find out about fleeing the reference desk (for the right reasons) and there are useful links about roving reference

You can explore more sessions via this link, searching for the terms which interest you.  Many of the session have links to presentations or handouts.

Love to answer questions?

On the same day each month Librarians around the globe stretch their reference skills by going online and searching out questions to answer from the various answer boards which are out there - they Slam the Boards.

Not only do they display amazing research skills but they continually point the people asking the question back to their local library and the array of resources they will find there - for free. As a professional development exercise, it's fun and rewarding to stretch your skills in answering questions in a completely online environment.

The final slam for 2012 will be held December 10th. (But you can slam earlier or later if you wish.)

Go ahead, challenge yourself and Slam the Boards! You know you want to!
(and don't forget to comment below with how you went)

I've had a great year slamming, have you?? What are some of the trickier questions you've faced this year?
