*	Thursday, March 1 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time - The Techs Impacting
Libraries & Publishing in 2012

Think back to a not so distant past when the Internet was science fiction.
It's amazing how quickly technology has changed our world and continues to
shape how we consume and seek information. Joe Murphy, librarian and
technology trend spotter, will tell you about emerging technology trends in
2012 and what you need to know to succeed in today's information
environment. 

 

*	Wednesday, March 21 at 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time - Expand Your
Horizons: New Roles for Information Professionals [Career Colloquia]

Sue Charles, research analyst for the HP Labs (Hewlett-Packard Company)
strategic planning team, is the headliner for the March Career Colloquium.
Sue will show you how your LIS skillsets can prepare you for careers you
never imagined. After all, she made the transition from working in
traditional library roles to doing strategic analysis for HP Labs. Hear her
story during this one-hour presentation.

 

*	Monday, March 26 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time - Empowering Diverse
Voices

In this session, you'll hear from Molly Raphael, president of the American
Library Association (ALA), as she discusses her presidential initiative plan
to expand and enhance leadership development opportunities available to ALA
members, ensuring a workforce that is as diverse as the communities it
serves. Miguel Figueroa, director of ALA's Office for Diversity, will join
her for this informative talk.
