communications. These data sets will be added throughout 2014. THOMAS.gov will be permanently retired by the end of 2014.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>June 12 (11 am-12 pm) / An Evolving Model for Consortial Print and E-books Collections</b> (Library Journal)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) and Oxford University Press (OUP) are in the third year of a pilot to create a financially sustainable model for consortial acquisition of e-books coupled with needed
shared print copies, in cooperation with YBP Library Services (YBP). The project expands acquisition of e-books in tandem with reductions in print, so as to move both the consortium and the university presses to a decidedly electronic environment for books
that will enhance support for instruction and research across the disciplinary spectrum within an environment that is acceptable to users.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">This presentation will report on: The challenges and lessons learned during the first two years of the program; librarian and patron reactions to this format shift; and the resulting philosophical and practical
evolutions in TRLN’s approaches to monographic acquisitions generally and understandings of what constitutes cooperative success specifically.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Four TRLN librarians, along with representatives from OUP and YBP, will also discuss how this knowledge has changed understandings about vending and acquiring e-books, the relationship of e-books to print, and how
adjustments made in Year 3 of the program reflect lessons learned during the first two years. Finally, they will discuss how the pilot could become a permanent venture.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in">It’s a question librarians are asked constantly: Why do people need us when they have Google and other public search tools? In “Going Beyond Google” on Thursday, June 12, 2:00 p.m. (Eastern), we’ll talk about
our value as experts, what it means and how we can effectively convey it to the public. American Libraries Live, a free, streaming video broadcast allows viewers to watch broadcasts about library issues and trends in real time and interact with hosts via
a live chat. Each episode focuses on a specific issue affecting libraries and librarians, and features a panel of vendors and library industry experts engaged in a real-time discussion which is broadcast through a live video format. Viewers can ask questions
during the program via chat. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>June 12 (12-1 pm) / Creative Spaces and Family Engagement in Libraries</b> (Infopeople)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in">Struggling to infuse creativity into a cramped, quiet or quirky space? Tired of following powerful literature with cookie cutter crafts? Confounded by events attended by children 2 to 18 years old? Think you
have to be an artist to engage children in the arts? Library staff and parents often feel inadequate as artists and pass along their hang ups by safety proofing crafts or spending loads of money for professional artists to lead the workshop. In this webinar,
we will rethink what it means to engage children and their families in creativity as we explore play based and process art. You will leave with very concrete ideas about designing a space and an approach that nurtures the artist in each child. As the sole
access point to the arts for many families, libraries are a key force in ensuring every child can engage with the world as a creator.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>June 13 (10-11 a<a name="_GoBack"></a>m) / Why Checking Your Privilege is Good For *You*</b> (O’Reilly)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in">We've seen lengthy discussions about the position of women in technology for the past several months, to the point where Wired is covering debates about civility on the LKML. While it's been useful to raise awareness
of issues within the open source and technical communities, I haven't seen anyone discussing why evaluating and checking one's privilege is actually good for the individual. In this talk, I will discuss why it's worth your while to understand your own innate
privilege - or, as I like to think of it, 'stuff' you get that other people don't - and how doing so will make you more successful in your career and as a human being.<o:p></o:p></p>
