--Audre Lorde
One great thing about Library Camp and unconferences at large is that you not only attend, you contribute. I was surprised and excited to hear on Tuesday evening that I would be presenting on not only one but two topics: Organizing Library Events and Drupal. It was nice to have a heads up so that I knew what I was in for on Wednesday morning, and also nice to know that people had voted and there were certain to be participants interested in each of these sessions.
These are my notes from an amazing event I was lucky enough to take part in last March: ACRL Preconference Unconference
General Notes
Intro/Planning Session:
What do we hope for out of this event? What are we fearful will happen?
* How can we apply what we learn here? & not get discouraged? (when we are home)
* Non-traditional events
* Outside the library conference mainstream
* Unbranded conference
* Tap into what we do at home with what we discuss/learn here

*Or maybe that should be Animals being (Moby) Dicks?... Now somebody's gotta make a GIF...
"To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, through many there be who have tried it."*
