MLC Annual Meeting Photos

October 6th, 2009 Brian

The new set has been posted to MLC’s Flickr photostream. Keynote speaker was R. David Lankes. Lankes discussed how library service should match how people build knowledge, as well as the obligation and power of libraries participating in their communities and society as a whole. Colleen Hyslop (Michigan State Univ), Larry Neal (Clinton-Macomb PL), and Anne Heidemann (Canton PL) comprised a response panel offering their views on Lankes’ theories and how such ideas can be put into practice. A stream of Lankes’ talk can be found at http://quartz.syr.edu/rdlankes/blog/?p=826.

Following the feature presentation was MLC’s annual business meeting. This year the meeting highlighted a discussion by MLC Board Chairperson Pamela Grudzien, Interim INCOLSA Director Marnie Maxwell, and MLC’s own Randy Dykhuis regarding the current status and future of MLC/INCOLSA merger activities.
