It’s Not Safe to Go Alone: Here, Try This!

Kim Looby 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

Similar problems pop up across libraries, but often we feel like we are the only ones experiencing them. In this room, there will be large post its on the wall where you can write down a problem you would like your fellow campaigners to help you solve. Then other campaigners can come along and offer suggestions on how to solve your problem. Got new technology that no one seems to want to use? I’ll bet you that a bunch of libraries have had the same problem, how did you fix it?

Interactive Room

Takeaways:

Ask for help and receive help. 

The questions and their suggestions can be shared in a central Library Collective location so everyone can see the answers to the questions. 

Share your knowledge and experience. 

No formed group, but would be happy to have anyone join me in this room, feel free to contact me!

This sounds like a great topic! Have you considered compiling the questions and answers into a Google Doc that can be shared publicly or added to after the conference? 

That way, attendees could revisit the document later on or continue the conversation if they think of an answer to someone else's problem once they get on the plane back home (an upsettingly common issue).

Hello! That is a fantastic plan. I will definitely make the questions and answers available for everyone to see.
