Learning to Question and Questioning to Learn
http://tinyurl.com/3d3wzo

Two-part AUDIO CONFERENCE COURSE with Carol Koechlin—$195.00

Inquiry-based learning starts with developing an environment of  
curiosity and wonderment – one in which learners are encouraged to  
think deeply and question broadly. One of the keys for educators is  
to understand the skill and attitude of “questioning” themselves, and  
to have a rich bank of strategies to use when working with students.  
This session will be useful to both new and experienced educators.


FRIDAY, JAN 11, 1:00 pm ET/10:00 am PT
Liaison Librarianship: Pushing Beyond the Traditional Roles
http://tinyurl.com/2s3ftg

One hour AUDIO CONFERENCE with Stuart David von Wolff—$85.00

Liaison librarianship has traditionally focused mainly on either  
specific collections and subject areas, or particular academic  
programs and disciplines. This presentation, while in no way  
detracting from these past approaches, builds upon this foundation.  
Drawing on experiences liaising with international students, Stuart  
advocates the benefits of “thinking outside the box” when it comes to  
perceptions of liaison functions.


TUESDAY, JAN 15, 1:00 pm ET/10:00 am PT

trends should librarians be watching? What’s the next big thing as we

Stephens for a discussion of ten technologies to be aware of now and  
beyond. We’ll touch on planning, people, and participation as well.

Organization 2.0
http://tinyurl.com/34wu3l

One hour AUDIO CONFERENCE with Rebecca Jones—$85.00

Social software, digital tools, and new ways of working demand new

processes, and solutions. This session focuses on the most critical  
component for any digital environment: the people.
