ALA 2010: Cyber Zed Shed, ACRL

Traveling into the way back, a final reflection of the 2009 ACRL Conference (Seattle) featured mention of my new favorite conference presentation option, the Cyber Zed Shed. Located near the poster sessions, it was convenient and visible. At the end of one of the shed days, a volunteer, or perhaps committee member, was collecting business cards from people who were interested in participating in the CZS for Philadelphia 2011. I gleefully handed over my card, a miracle in itself since I routinely forget them. Fast forward to ALA Annual 2010 and my Monday morning meeting ...

I attended my first Cyber Zed Shed committee meeting at ACRL "headquarters," The Renaissance Mayflower hotel. I arrived early, wandered through the lobby area for a short time, and located my committee. Several members with iPads connected to the Internet, my trusty netbook and I, sans Internet, took meeting minutes. Using ALA Connect as our cyber home, we will be able to meet virtually.

Submission for CZS presentations will be open soon; I will post information here as it becomes available. We will be using Facebook and Twitter, was well as more traditional means of email and blogs, to market and solicit submissions. It's not too soon to consider presenting!

I excited about participating with this committee and am definitely looking forward to Philadelphia 2011.
