    ALASC Luminary Lecture: Patty Wong (AUDIO)

    Community Outreach can and should be as natural to libraries as collections or staff or programs and services. Creating collaborations with community leaders and agencies is an incredibly powerful way to develop one's community, extend and enhance the Library's work, build employee capacity and leadership, and generate advocacy. Together we'll explore the ideas of building community coalitions, searching for appropriate Library partners, creating opportunities, and learning what works, what doesn't and when it's time to look in another direction.

    Lili Luo: Identification of Essential Chat Reference Competencies and Effective Training Techniques (VIDEO)

    Chat reference is a reference conduit completely based on real-time electronic interaction. The fundamental principle stays the same across all reference services – assisting users in fulfilling their information needs. But when it comes to the process of how reference services are conducted, chat reference has set itself apart from email-based or face-to-face reference. The difference exists in so many aspects that general reference competencies need to be reexamined to ensure quality performance in chat reference services. A two-stage study was conducted to determine essential chat reference competencies and effective training techniques to deliver them. Findings from this study and how they could benefit the professional preparation for chat reference librarians will be discussed in the presentation.

    April Gage: Demystifying the Thesis Option (AUDIO)

    You've made good progress at SLIS—that is, until you realize that you are heading toward the inevitable fork in the road: the e-portfolio or the thesis. As you approach the fork, a bespectacled person wearing tweeds cautions "WRONG WAY! TURN BACK!" and waves you toward the e-portfolio. What should you do? Take the e-portfolio path of least resistance? Or ignore the danger signs, thumb your nose at the tweed-clad nabob of negativity, and take the road less traveled? This presentation demystifies the thesis option. It will examine some of the real and perceived obstacles to pursuing a thesis, outline the process, recommend strategies for plotting a successful trajectory, and suggest how you might use your thesis to boost your career.
