Blended Librarian Webcast: Opening New Windows of Opportunity: Creating Breakthrough Instructional Experiences

I just got an email that Brian Mathews, the Ubiquitous Librarian who will be speaking at the CRD Spring Workshop in Altoona on June 9, is a guest of the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community on Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 3 pm. EST, hosted by PA librarians Steven Bell and John Shank, co-founders.

Brian's 'event' is called 'Opening New Windows of Opportunity: Creating Breakthrough Instructional Experiences.' Brian will "speak on 'breakthrough opportunities' as he shares his latest ideas on creating interactive library experiences for students. This session will feature tactics for engaging students in both the classroom as well as in digital environments. Brian will also discuss possibilities for the library and librarians to become a more integrated part of campus and will highlight his ubiquitous 'push-out' philosophy."

The event is free, but advance registration is required. You also need to be a member of the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community. Here's a link to the Web page with a link to join. Sounds interesting.
