Texas Library Association presentation: Methods for Staying Current and Dealing with Information Overload
April 8, 2009
Last Thursday I spoke at the Texas Library Association's Annual Conference in Houston. I spoke about information overload, methods for staying current, and sites/resources to use to stay current in various aspects of librarianship. You can find my presentation on Slideshare: Methods for Staying Current and Dealing with Information Overload, or use the embedded version below to view the slides. I hope that this presentation helps others as much as it seemed to help the Texas audience (who was great by the way!).

Thank you for posting the slideshow from your TLA presentation. As a member of the gung ho Texas audience, I can attest to the fact that your presentation was invaluable and I look forward to presenting as many of your strategies as possible to my fellow librarians in the 10 minutes I’ll have to debrief. In keeping with one of your suggestions, I am not filling your email box with another simple “Thank you!” However, if you are moderating your comment posts, I don’t know that I’ve done anything to lighten your load and for that I apologize…

I was also in the audience in Houston, and appreciated this talk. Just FYI, the podcast LibVibe stopped broadcasting last year. If you look at their blog, they haven’t updated since Summer 2008. I used to subscribe to this podcast and was bummed when it went off the air in cyberspace…your talk made me think “oh, maybe they’re back on the air!” but no, apparently not.

Goodness – you are absolutely right. LibVibe is gone. I will definitely remove that from my resources list for the future. Thanks!
