Happiness Through Personal Learning
Originally presented August 10, 2011 as part of Trends in Library Training and Learning.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - our unalienable rights. While life and liberty are often dictated by circumstance, happiness usually remains a goal. How do we obtain it? What makes us happy? No matter what your answer to this question, one thing is certain, happiness and the things that make us happy are learned. Using online tools afforded to us by the digital century, in this session, Marianne Lenox will help you define your own unique learning methodology and set you on a course for pursuing both personal and professional happiness.
