BCR Staff Presenting at August Conferences
BCR staff hope to see area librarians at the Pacific Northwest Library Association (PNLA) Conference in Post Falls and the Nevada Library Association (NLA) Conference in Las Vegas over the next couple of weeks. Take the opportunity to discover BCR and how you can benefit from the many services BCR offers the library community.
Pacific Northwest Library Association (PNLA) — August 6-8, Post Falls (ID)
Join Gillian Harrison, BCR's director, Marketing & Outreach, at the annual PLNA conference, Libraries Go Wild! Beyond the Expected! She is presenting "Plugging Into the Numbers: Using Data to Make Some Noise about Library Services," on Friday, August 8, from 10:30 a.m.-12 noon. Learn how to determine whether all the statistics your library collects are counting the same thing and, more importantly, discover how to incorporate all that data into your library's message. Then stop by the BCR exhibit booth to say hello to Harrison.
Nevada Library Association (NLA) — August 14-16, Las Vegas (NV)
Bridging the Gap, the Nevada Library Association's annual conference, gives librarians in the state the opportunity to network and learn with their colleagues. BCR's popular emergent technology trainer, Shelly Drumm, will be presenting "Big Reference on a Little Budget," Friday, August 15, 10:30-11:30 a.m. Attendees will come away with answers on how to deliver top-notch reference and instructional services without 'dropping a dime.' Also take a minute to visit the exhibit booth and meet Jay Ford, BCR's library services consultant.
