Presenter:  Melanie Hawks
Description:
Regardless of what position you hold, much of your success in the 
library profession will depend on your ability to enlist the support of 
others. How can you influence people even when you don't have (or don't 
want to rely on) formal authority? This webcast will focus on three 
components that have a major impact on your ability to influence: you, 
your audience, and your message.

*Next Generation Information Commons:  Retooling and Refining the Vision
*Format:  ACRL Live Webcast
Date:  December 4, 2008 11 a.m Pacific | 12:00 p.m. Mountain | 1:00 p.m. 
Central | 2:00 p.m. Eastern
Presenter:  Joan K. Lippincott
Description:
Some information commons are now more than ten years old and are in need 
of refreshing in terms of conception, configuration, technologies, and 
services. Others are so popular that additions are planned, either 
adjacent to the existing commons, on other floors, or in other buildings 
on campus. Through the use of principles and practical examples, 
participants will learn about trends in information and learning 
commons. A wide variety of photos will be used to illustrate the 
presentation.

produced a focus on information that is unaware of its history." --
