Pre-conference workshop post-mortem
Thanks to everyone involved in the EOP for a successful pre-conference workshop. The Education Committee received many good comments and I personally thought the instructor meeting was tremendously helpful. Joseph Hafner is working on compiling the comments and ideas from the evaluations at the pre-conference workshop. Let's continue the discussion! Please feel free to post your thoughts and ideas on future development of the program. Currently, there are at least 3 workshops in the pipeline and the Education Committee has plans to write proposals for ALA, PLA, and various state library organizations.
