"The CRUX of the Matter: CReating User eXperiences that Matter"

The fifth annual ISLOC conference offers keynote speakers, concurrent sessions on a variety of topics, an evening session just for trustees, poster sessions, and an exhibit hall--all online in Adobe Connect classrooms, so librarians and trustees can attend from their home or libraries.

Participants can "come and go" from the conference, attending the sessions in which they're interested. (Up to 5 hours CE credit, depending on number of sessions you attend; certificates given at end of each session.)

Linda Braun is the morning keynote speaker. An educational technology consultant for LEO: Librarians & Educators Online, she provides project management, training, and consulting services to public libraries and schools on a variety of topics. Linda will help you discover how to use social media tools as well as traditional sources to get an accurate view of your community’s technology profile.

Sandra Nelson is the keynote speaker for the evening trustees session, and will talk about policies and how they ultimately affect the user experience.

Sessions include:
Signage
Welcoming Spaces--Teens
Welcoming Spaces--Children
Welcoming Spaces--Adults

Customer Service

Poster sessions:
Therapy dogs (or guinea pigs!)
Cool programs
Widgets to Help Connect with Users

Vendors will be available in the Virtual Exhibit Hall to talk with participants and show them their products.

Schedule and other information, including links to enter the classrooms can be found on the conference website: http://www.statelibraryofiowa.org/ld/c-d/continuing-ed/isloc. (Please note: the links to the classrooms will not be "live" until the day of the conference.)
