Future and Emerging Access Services Trends

Are you attending ALA Annual in Anaheim this year?

Are you trying new and innovative things in your library, particularly in the area of access services?

Would you like to share your experiences in a short 7 – 8 minute presentation?

Last year, an audience of 85 experienced the first of its kind FEAST (Future and Emerging Access Services Trends). We had so much fun, we’re doing it again AND we want you to join us! FEAST 2012 is scheduled from 4:00pm  – 5:30pm on Sunday, June 24, 2012. If you are planning to attend, and would be interested in briefly sharing an exciting new project from your library, drop me a reply! Here’s the official ALA program description:

Why choose between presentations when you can come to one FEAST? Future & Emerging Access Services Trends (FEAST) gives you multiple speakers and topics in one 90 minute session. Hear practitioners and experts discuss what’s new or just around the corner in circulation, shelving, reserves, interlibrary loan, offsite storage and more in short seven minute courses. Fresh and timely. Never frozen. There’s always plenty to choose from at the FEAST!

We’re looking for anyone eager to share new innovations, or even those brave enough to speculate on what might likely be around the bend for access services. Interested? Let me know!
