3分读

嘉莉斯特凡斯基

我学得一手有多个库对话比ALA秀场上可以处理,或者也许我长会议上周末刚刚在高库。无论哪种方式,需要图书馆跟着我周围所有SF坐我的份额之旅。这让我高兴!

这里有图书馆爱洒如何会议和到出租车出了内幕消息。

Stop 1: Periodical 15

一晚午餐会后,我被关到码头15对年度图书馆award ceremony. As the ride-share headed toward the Exploratorium, we picked up Neeraj. He was off to a restaurant on the way to meet some friends for dinner. We got to talking about where we were from and what we were doing in San Francisco. After my brief Gale/ALA spiel, Neeraj told me he was beginning a startup.

“Ohh, so what stage are you in?” I couldn’t wait to offer my eResource insight.

“我们刚刚开始,在研究阶段。我们基于“增大化现实”技术e actually having problems accessing science journals,” said. He went onto explain that he and his colleagues were trying (and failing) to access academic periodicals from their alma maters.

“STOP THE BUS! GO TO YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY,” I exclaimed, in more words or less.

我当时太兴奋地告诉他,他可以从他的当地的公共图书馆上网期刊。“你可以随时在线访问他们,借书证;你甚至不会去那里。”

“对于真正虽然,你必须去公共图书馆当你回家,”当时我是怎么说再见。

Neeraj was from Palo Alto, and sure enough,帕洛阿尔托公共图书馆的电子期刊是在他们的网页导航突出显示。他们提供他们的顾客Academic OneFileandGeneral OneFileon theInfoTrac平台,我希望Neeraj需要我的意见,因为当他准备好了,他会发现PAPL也有Business Insights: Global

Stop 2: Traffic Jam

I missed the boat! I literally missed the boat to Alcatraz because of traffic. Sigh。Since I was stuck in traffic headed back to the hotel, I began to engage in small talk with my driver, Zenebe. I told him I was in San Francisco for the American Library Association conference. Zenebe immediately began telling me his library story—I didn’t even have to fish for it. He has two young sons, 3 and 5, and he takes them to storytime at his local library often.

我们谈到早期识字;我可能已经提到的大风最新的在线学习课程,金宝搏彩票Humblebee小姐的奥斯卡。Zenebe said that his oldest son had an online program that he really likes and he pays $7 a month for a subscription.

“早期识字是所有的愤怒,”我心想。

现在,我不记得他家分公司,但我可以说,萨克拉门托公共图书馆有一吨事情在他们的从出生至5空间。他们有电子书的分类,包括GVRL我鼓励他去看看他的图书馆的数字化产品,看看有什么产品他的孩子们可以免费访问。

父母的很多带着孩子去讲故事,但还是不知道还有什么他们的图书馆所提供的......他们。我试图翻转谈话,问他Zenebe利益,看看我是否能分享一些更多的公共图书馆的知识,但他仍集中在他kiddos。像他们的声音是聪明的饼干,有一个专门的父亲,感谢它。

Stop 3: Home

Like all of you, I’m exhausted and exhilarated from my week at the show but my library love doesn’t stop! I vow to keep on keeping on with my public library advocacy!
