Ask a Librarian at FLA –

The Aska Librarian User Forum will be on Thursday, May 7th at 8:30am.   We hope you will be able to join us -

Notes from the FLA User Forum

 What a great time! It was a great user forum this year.    We started off with Pat Barbier, the co-chair of the Quality Assurance Workgroup presenting certificates to the Exemplary Reference Award Winners from the past year.   I wish we had time to talk about many of their sessions- the winning really demonstrate why Ask a Librarian is such a vital tool.      You can read these sessions in the Ask a Librarian Toolbox (http://info.askalibrarian.org)

We then talked about statistics, what our users think about us, current marketing (including plans for The Director’s Chair II), training, scheduling and the addition of the Academic Desk.   

Further, we went through the ITN process.     In April, Ask a Librarian posted an Invitation to Negotiate for new software.    

The other big announcement -is Jennifer Gregor is leaving the Ask a Librarian project at the end of the month.   We are excited to announce she is joining the staff at St. Petersburg College! I am going to miss her.

A powerpoint of the presentation is available for your viewing – fla-2008-user-forum

Please do not hesitate to ask questions about anything presented – especially the ITN – your opinion is really important to us!
