[Libs-Or] Free ACRL OnPoint Chat this Thursday - Finding Innovation in Your Library

[Robin A. Paynter]

The next installment of the ACRL OnPoint Chat series, "Why Didn't I 
Think of That? Finding Innovation in Your Library," will take place on 
Thursday, June 11 at 12:00 p.m. Central time (10:00 a.m. Pacific | 11:00 
a.m. Mountain | 12:00 p.m. Central | 1:00 p.m. Eastern). 

This OnPoint chat will use participants' experiences to understand how 
innovation does (and does not) occur in the academic library 
environment. Drawing on individuals' successes and failures, the 
convener will identify obstacles to innovation, discuss various models 
and theories of innovation, and consider how the individual fits in the 
innovative organization. David Dahl, Emerging Technologies Librarian at 
Towson University, will convene the June 11th chat.
 
ACRL OnPoint is a live series of informal monthly text-based chat 
sessions. All ACRL OnPoint chats are free and open to the public. 
Sessions are unmoderated, one hour in length and take place in a Meebo 
chat room (no audio or video). Chats are limited to 80 concurrent 
participants and will be delivered on a first-come-first-served basis. 
For additional information, including access information and archives of 
past sessions, visit the OnPoint website at

produced a focus on information that is unaware of its history." --
