Lush and Learn (a Best Practices Mixer)

LANCR (Library Association of the National Capital Region) and NCALL (National Capital Association of Law Librarians) invite you to a Best Practices Mixer.

We are asking everyone to think of a tip, tool, technique, or resource that has been valuable to them in their work. For example, what works best when dealing with difficult patrons?, what social networking tool is most effective? have a favourite blog?, how do you get the most out of student placements?, what is your best marketing tip?, etc., etc.

At the mixer we'll have you move from small group to small group sharing your best practices. By the end of the session, after rotating through the different groups, we hope you'll have picked up some new ideas and made some new contacts!

Where: Royal Oak Pub, 180 Kent St., at Slater (say you are with the law librarians in order to be seated in the correct area)
When: Tuesday November 23, 2010
Time: Official program will be from 5:45 - 6:45
RSVP: Katherine Laundy at Katherine.Laundy@pslrb-crtfp.gc.ca by Friday November 19, 2010. Seating is limited.
