CARL North Regional Program
Monday, December 3rd, 2001
Preservation Park, Oakland
10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Librarians and change:
Does research support the notion of the "graying of the profession"?
How do recent job announcements depict changes in what we do?
How are library schools preparing new librarians for these circumstances?
Changes in resources we use:
How will the new version of "Counting California" answer your
statistical questions?
What has the CDL learned from usability studies of its web presence?
How can reference librarians find quick answers via government web sites?
Come spend an informative and entertaining day with your colleagues to learn
about issues of importance to us all from an interesting and diverse group of
speakers:
Stanley Wilder, Assistant Dean, River Campus Libraries of the University of
Rochester, will share the results of his ARL-supported research on the
demographics of the library profession.
Kimberly Robles-Smith, CSU Fresno, will present the results of analysis of
recent job announcements trends, from her research with Beverly Lynch (UCLA).
Blanche Woolls, School of Library & Information Science Program Director,
San Jose State University
Who will replace us in the future and what new skills will they bring?
Afternoon session:
Patricia Cruse, California Digital Library, will show us the latest release of
"Counting California", which presents a single interface to historical
and current socioeconomic data from federal, state, and local government
agencies.
Rosalie Lack, California Digital Library, will discuss usability studies
designed to get feedback from users to help improve web sites.
Government Information Librarians Ben Amata (CSU Sacramento), Marcia Meister (UC
Davis), and Carol Doyle (CSU Fresno) will give you new skills for locating
web-based information on legislation, on statistics, and using
government-specific search engines to help you locate information on subjects
such as energy and the environment.
