Libraries and Online Learning: an ALCTS Midwinter Symposium
CHICAGO — Libraries and learners have long been engaged in a successful
partnership. Never has this partnership been more important or
wide-ranging than in today's online environment. “Libraries and Online
Learning: A Powerful Partnership,” a Midwinter Symposium from the
Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS),
offers a unique opportunity to engage in an important discussion of the
role of learning in our libraries.
From local public libraries to national and transnational digital
public libraries, from primary schools to research universities,
libraries increasingly provide for learners' virtual educational
experiences. In this symposium attendees will learn to foster the
strategic relationships possible between libraries and online learners.
Confirmed speakers are: Mike Eisenberg, dean emeritus and professor,
University of Washington, Information School; Karl Nelson, director of
the Digital Learning Department, Office of Superintendent of Public
Instruction, State of Washington; and Jonathan Grudin, principal
researcher, Natural Interaction Group, Microsoft Research. Additional
speakers will be announced in the near future.
Join your colleagues from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 25, 2012
at Midwinter in Seattle.
Registration is through the ALA Midwinter registration form and is $219
for ALCTS members, $269 for ALA members, and just $99 for students and
retired members.
ALCTS is a division of the American Library Association.
