2013 PLA Virtual Spring Symposium
PLA Virtual Spring Symposium: Coming to a computer near you.
Moderated by Stephanie Gerding, librarian, author, and trainer, the PLA Virtual Spring Symposium was a full day of rich education with:
- Eight education programs,
- Lunchtime updates highlighting digital learning, the Edge Initiative, and e-book communications, and
- A closing session with keynote speaker Garry Golden, Futurist.
Take advantage of four education tracks with two programs in each!
| Morning | Afternoon |
|---|---|
| Track 1: Administration/Leadership | Track 3: Marketing/Customer Service |
| Track 2: Youth Services | Track 4: Technology |
Individual registrants will be able to switch between simultaneous tracks to find what suits them best, while registered groups will be given a code that enables them to stream simultaneous tracks at the same time (on two computers) to help their team get the most out of the day. Following March 20, an archived copy of the Virtual Spring Symposium will be available for registrants.
