More Planning for the Library Unconference at Rutgers Newark

I met with Ann Watkins and Natalie Borisovets of the Dana Library to discuss the 2011 library unconference.
  • The tentative date is Friday March 18, 2011- this may have to be changed since the Columbia University Reference Services Symposium is the same date
  • The working title is No Frills: A Library Unconference. The meeting would not have a theme. It will not be limited to academic librarians
  • Since there may be ethical issues involved, we don't want to have a corporate sponsor. Thus there will have to be a charge for the conference.
  • Ann is checking into some local caterers and into chair rentals.
  • We are going to meet sometime later in August to check out the space at the Rutgers Law School
  • I will check to see if there is any planning done for the Columbia University Reference Symposium in March. We don't want the two conferences to cover the same ground

This is really exciting! I have very much enjoyed the unconferences I've attended in the past & am glad to see one coming to New Jersey!
