Cultivating the Library as a Site of Participatory Culture and Learning
To be presented August 11, 2011 as part of Trends in Library Training and Learning.
How can libraries establish themselves as communities of learning? How can we spark, invite, and sustain conversations for learning with those we serve through our academic, public, and school libraries? Join presenter Buffy Hamilton to explore how a model of participatory librarianship and learning can provide the context for inquiry, collaborative knowledge building, and shared ownership of the story of "library" through multiple literacies and mediums with free and easy to implement tools and strategies.
