ALA 2010

Unconference ALA ... about 50 librarians met to unconference -- six topics were selected to discuss and present a 5 minute summary of the discussions. Topics included Digital Divide, Change, Mobile Web, Service Trends and Employment.

I was involved in the Change discussion -- stages of change, how to create change, proactive change, and change is slow. Overall summary is that change does take time, flexibility, consideration of needs (staff, system, end-users), and conversation. It is better to be looking to the future and trends, identify ways to initiate change in order to create change that works -- not just change because an event requires it.
