Going to AALL? Come to Lawberry Camp!
I am very pleased to announce today (both here and through various other types of media) Lawberry Camp…an unconference taking place before AALL 2009. I am co-organizing this with Jason Eiseman of the Yale Law Library. At a later date we’ll go more into the hows and history of Lawberry Camp and what we’d like to see it do in the future, but right now I’ll just stick to the basics of announcing Lawberry Camp.
More information and registration can be found at the Lawberry Camp website. While you’re there, you may want to check out some of the alternative forms of communication for Lawberry Camp that we’ve set up. If you do decide to attend, be sure to grab a blog badge for your website/blog/social media site.
Before I get to the text of the email that I sent out today, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the CS-SIS for sponsoring Lawberry Camp. Official sponsorship makes pesky details like meeting rooms and supplies so much easier to deal with. So my deep thanks and appreciation goes out to CS-SIS and its executive board for all of their help. But also, just so everyone’s clear, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re going to talk about “computer stuff”…the fun part of an unconference is that you, the attendees, will decide on the topics of discussion.
So, anyway, here we go..the official announcement:
WHO: You. Yes, you. It doesn’t matter if what type of librarian you are, how long you’ve been a librarian, if you’re management or not, or what type of library you work in (or if you’re employed at all!). If you are coming to AALL, you are the right person to attend Lawberry Camp.
WHAT: Lawberry Camp, an unconference before AALL. What’s an “unconference?” An unconference is a participant driven meeting. There are no planned presentations and the topics of discussion will be decided on by attendees on that day. Facilitators are present to keep the conversation flowing.
WHERE: WCC-Room 144 C
WHY: Because you have something to share. Because you want to hear what others have to say. Because you want to meet with other law librarians in an informal setting. Because you have nothing to do the Saturday afternoon before AALL starts.
HOW: More information and registration can be found at http://lawberrycamp.com Attendance is limited to 50 people, so don’t delay!
