Visiting Librarians

At our Staff Day on May 10th, we had two wonderful librarians visit and inspire us.  Pictured below are Neal Wyatt, Senior Collection Management Administrator, Chesterfield Public Library, Theresa Cummings, IT Dept. Manager, Wake County Public Libraries, and Skip Auld, Director, Durham County Library. Neal and Theresa have also been nice enough to add their thoughts to the wiki and some neat links.

Hi - stopping by to thank you for inviting me to your staff day. It was wonderful to meet you all, Theresa, and the NoveListas! Here is a u tube video I told Skip about as well as some other links that might be helpful. Let me know if I can help in any way or if you just want to talk about collection development or RA. - Neal

A neat view on hypertexts - which ties into the reading map idea we briefly talked about

Also, during a break, someone asked Theresa and I about LibraryThing for Libraries. Here is the link to the information page about it and a link to see it live - Danbury Public Library already has it in the catalog - just search on a title to see how it works.

Hello folks - Theresa Cummings here!  Wanted to thank you all very much for the opportunity to be a part of your exciting Staff Day.  If you'd like to see my presentation again so that you can investigate some of the books, blogs, and people more, then please visit my blog at:

I'd love to hear from you all in the future - remember, I'm just a click away (or a few miles down the road!)  Let me know how I can contribute to the great work you have planned for Durham County Library!

Are you a librarian visiting our wiki?  Please feel free to leave some cool links and your thoughts?  Visiting, but not a librarian?  We want to hear from you as well!
