OU Athens Talk
I'm heading out tomorrow for my second Athens talk in 30 days. The first one required a cramped 10 hour plane ride, so I'm really looking forward to the second one because it's only a 2 hour car drive - which also means I'll be home for movie night. :)
For those of you attending my talk tomorrow at Alden Library on the OU Athens campus, here's a link to my slides.
Rethinking Bubbles & other thoughts on the future of libraries
PS: Just realized that this is actually my third "Athens" talk this year. I also did a talk in Athens, GA in July. Think I might need to chalk 2009 up as the year of the Athens hat trick. :)

21st Century Libraries keynote ( Greece)
Event was part of the Megaron Plus Lecture Series - Athens, Greece (Nov 11, 2009).
Most of the time when I have the pleasure to speak to audiences about the future of libraries, I'm usually talking a room of librarians or educators. Last week was a little bit different. Last week I had the pleasure to talking to a large group of community citizens at the Megraron, Athens premiere music and cultural center.
Granted, I know that there were many librarians and library officials in the audience -- the nature of the program topic, The 21st Century Library, would naturally attract such a crowd) but the audience was also full of just regular community members (students, business men and even one famous politician - whom I don't know his name) who were just there to learn more about 21st century libraries and to appreciate the free cultural lecture series that is supported by Megaron Plus.
Anyway, the great audience questions and participation at the end did make the event a highlight. For those that asked, here are the slides from my keynote (a condensed and updated version of much longer I have done before). Thanks to all for a great evening of thoughts and conversation.

ACLA Talk - 24th Thing
In Pittsburgh this am to do a talk for the Allegheny County Library Association (ACLA). My talk is titled the 24th Thing in part because many of the member libraries just completed 23 Things. But it's also titled this because I'm often asked the question "what's the next thing?" For me the "thing" isn't a specific technology. It's a shift in mindset that we need to begin applying 24/7 to our thinking about library services. Here is a link to my slidedeck that helps outline my thinking, The 24th Thing

GOLD/GALILEO conference
Friday I keynoted the GOLD/GALILEO conference in Athens, GA. Although the humidity seemed uncomfortably high (I swear I thought nimbus clouds were going to form in the lecture hall before my talk was over) it was great to be back in the south surrounded by so many soothing southern drawls. :)
Here's my slide deck for the talk:

ALA Recap - Short, sweet & of course, my slides :)
I spent the weekend in Chicago along with 13,000 other librarians meeting with vendors, traveling back-n-forth across town from the hotel to convention center (& every time, I find myself wondering why the McCormick Center was built in area lacking so many conference amenities, like enough nearby hotels and restaurants) and participating in two sessions. The slidedecks from both my talks can be found on Slideshare and linked below.- A Thousand Words: Taking Better Photos for Telling Stories in Your Library
Friday, All day preconference with Cindi Trainor & Michael Porter - Life After 2.0
Saturday, 1-2: with , Meredith Farkas, Lori Bell, Michelle Springer & Jed Moffitt

AIMS Keynote
This morning I’m keynoting the AIMS Technology Retreat in St. Michaels, Maryland. The conference location is marvelous -- Right on the bay. I’m wishing I could stay longer than just a few hours – and all the programs look great. In addition to the keynote, I’m also doing a follow-up session on Learning 2.0: 23 Things (yup, the requests to talk about this program just never seem to end)Anyway, for those in attendance, here are links to my slides...

Finding the Phoenix – UGame, ULearn Keynote
When Eric Boekesteijn quoted me on the stage during his talk with Paul Holdengraber at Computers in Library last month, I knew I had pull the idea into a new talk for my keynote at the UGame, ULearn conference in Delft this Thursday.
Anyway, it took me a lot longer then I anticipated to actually pull my thoughts for this talk together, but overall I’m pleased with the results. Here’s my favorite slide from the 63 image deck.
If you’re interested in the full presentation, you can find it on slideshare - Finding The Phoenix: Feathers, Flight & the Future of Libraries
PS: Here also a brief video chat that Kathy Dempsey and I did with Eric in DC that offers a glimpse of what my talk is about.

Nonprofit 2.0: Navigating the Social Media Universe
On the agenda tomorrow is a quick talk for a great local event, Nonprofit 2.0: Navigating the Social Media Universe. I'm really looking forward to participating in the panel discussion with Marti Post of the Woman's Fund of Central Ohio and Chris Groves of the United Way of Central Ohio. If you take at both of their organization's websites, you can clearly see that they are both helping to set the pace on social media engagement among nonprofits. I'm looking forward to learning lots. Here are my slides ...

ICE 2009 Talks
My 6 am flight to Chicago for the Illinois Computing Educators conference this morning came far earlier then I anticipated -- Good news is that a double dose of Starbucks did the trick. :) -- but I managed to keep my energy level up for my three back-to-back spotlight sessions.
Fortunately for me a) the talks were all on topics that I have spoken several times on and b) one of the talks I was scheduled as a repeater. The audience at the ICE conference included lots of media specialists, teachers and school educators. So although the talks were familiar to me, the focus of each talk was slightly different. I had several of those, but I also enjoyed a little bit of eavesdropping this morning at the continental breakfast listening to a few school educators consider whether or not they should attend one of my talks. (follow links to see my tweets) :)
For those in attendance, here's a presentation pack of my slides:

Discovery Place Talk @ ALA Midwinter
Getting up @ 3:45 am this morning is not my idea of a sunshine start. Finding out that your 6 am flight is delayed nearly two hours makes me appreciate Starbucks even more.
The airport delay, however, does give me time to post a link to my slidedeck for today's talk at ALA Midwinter on Columbus Metropolitan Library's ILS system, Discovery Place.
Discovery Place, is CML's own homegrown solution which has faithfully supportive the circulation of nearly 320 billion items over last twenty years. It's a true workhorse and well loved among circulation staff for its dependability and quick response.
I know it's very rare to find in-house developed ILS systems, especially for a library system our size (21 locations) and circulation (annual circulation 17.5 million). So that is why I'm heading to ALA today... to share a bit about CML's experience in developing and supporting our own ILS and the strategies we've set to continually meet customer expectations.
Discovery Place ILS – Columbus Metropolitan Library
If you're at ALA midwinter and have interest in this area, you'll find me at the conference center today @ 2 pm speaking about Discovery Place as part of RMG's Nineteenth Annual Presidents' Seminar: The View from the Top -- that is if my flight isn't delayed further.

My 24th & final for the year
My final talk for this year was yesterday and it couldn't have been a better venue or audience. The staff at Boulder Public Library seriously rock and in touring their Main library and community, it was easy to see why Tony Tallent jumped at the opportunity to become BPL's Library & Arts Director.
For me this last talk of the year was a bit of self-imposed stretching assignment. I wanted to do something for Tony's new staff that was not only playful and fun and but also steered clear of the topics of social media and technology trends -- my typical presentation forte. I think I succeeded in doing both, but I'm always open for suggestions for improvement, Here are my slides:
From a quick recap of my calendar, it looks like I did 24 different talks this year and in all of these, it looks like I only used one slide deck twice. That's a lot of talks ... and a lot of stretching.
Thanks Tony & BPL for a awesome day of PLAY!

LILRC Talk
Last Friday was a long day for me. I flew into NYs JFK, drove to Merrick, NY, found a little deli for lunch, gave a three hour (yes, three hours) talk to a great group of librarians from the Long Island Library Resources Council and then jumped back into a car to return to JFK for an 8pm flight home. It always amazes me when my timing on my talks comes out just right. 120 slides and 3 hours – that’s a long time to talk and a lot of information to share. When I glanced at the clock upon advancing to my last slide, the hands said 3:29 – just one minute to spare :)
For those in attendance, here are my slides:

Encouraging Organizational Innovation
Encouraging innovation at an organizational level can be a stretch for many libraries. “How do I change the culture?” is one question I’m asked often at conferences when I speak and more often the question goes further depending upon who is asking it. From front-line employees and middle management it’s “if administration/management isn’t willing to change.” From administrators and upper managers, it’s “if our front-line managers/employees aren’t willing to change.”
The funny thing for me, is that almost every time I get this question, what I find is that the person asking it really doesn’t want to hear advice on how to change their organization through their own behavior, they want someone else to change theirs instead. This is sorta the premise for my talk tomorrow at the Innovative Environments conference which is appropriately titled “Innovation starts with “I” and, yes ... it’s totally true. Innovation starts at the individual level. Organizations that recognize this and create environments that tap into their employees individuals’ strengths can create a cascading effect that elevates innovation throughout the entire organization.
No matter where you are on the org. chart ladder, you can play a critical role in encouraging innovation in your organization. The key is that you have to be willing to work at innovation from your own organizational perspective in order to build the trust and relationships (either up, down or sideways) which in turns enables innovation to flow throughout the rest of it.
Granted, innovation works faster when all levels of the organization are working in tandem on this. But if your organization bumbling or if you find yourself asking the questions I shared in the first paragraph above, I suggest that the first is really asking yourself, "what can I begin to do now/differently to help move my organization forward?"
For those that are curious or in attendance tomorrow at the Innovative Environments conference, here are my slides.
PS: If your in attendance, please be sure to also stop me and say “hi”
PSS: A huge nod to Tony Tallent, who co-presented an earlier variation of this talk with me at CIL last year. Wish you could be there too!

IABC Columbus Talk
Yesterday I spent some time at OCLC conference center speaking to a great group of folks from IABC Columbus about social media strategies for businesses. The power outages we experienced earlier this week from hurricane Ike -- Yes, for those of you that may not have been aware, Ike caused major damage in central Ohio with winds speeds that measured at a category 1 level. In fact there are may still with out power (5 days now) and the clean-up is still in progress. – kept me from updating this talk completely for a non-library audience. But even so, I managed to find a few good examples of local businesses that were taking advantage of social media tools to engage their customers.
Slides: The Social Media E..E..Edge: Strategies for a 2.0 World
I know there are many other examples from Columbus area businesses and organizations that I could also highlight and since I’ll be doing this talk again (for another Columbus area group) I thought I’d give a shout out to see if you had any other suggestions of good “Columbus” examples of businesses (especially non-profits) that have successfully intergraded social media tools and strategies. COSI’s Community page and NBC4’s Twitter presence are two that I have found., But I know there are others. If you know of any other good examples, please comment

For those in attendance, here are my slides.- Keynote: From Players to Guides: Learning Strategies for a 2.0 World

CoASIS&T talk
I’m starting a marathon month of presentations tonight after taking the whole summer off from speaking engagements. In a way, I’m glad that I have six presentations stacked up over the next 16 days to do -- I take it as a good challenge -- even though it means that I’ll also be giving up numerous evenings just to prepare for them. It was not my intention to jump back into the swing of things by doing three back-to-back presentations in one week. But when I booked the first two opportunities over 6 months ago, I had no idea that I’d get so many requests locally to speak. The subject of developing social media strategies is really hot right now. And from the number of inquiries I've received, I can attest that there are lots of organizations out there trying to figure this new landscape.
Anyway, enough of September. Tonight is my first talk of the month and I’m pleased to say that my presentation is finally done (jftr. I finished it at 12:08 last night) . For those in attendance tonight at my CoASIS&T talk, thanks for joining me... and here are my slides. Hope you walked away with a few ideas on how to put some “Es” in your libraree. :)
