2014 Preconference Schedule

Takin’ it to the Streets: New Ideas for Transformational Outreach Sponsored by the Diversity & Outreach, Urban Libraries, Reference, and Young Adult Services Sections Monday, June 2  from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.   Presenters: Vikki C. Terrile, Queens Public Library Sam Miller, Jean Rice Homeless Liberation Reference Library Jack Fanous, GI Go Fund Jaime Angelini, Mental Health Association in Atlantic County Andrew Luck, Paterson Free Public Library, moderator   Libraries are unique in their mission to inform, enable, and engage members of their communities. The homeless are another marginalized population we can empower, if we rethink the library's role. Learn how to bring the library into the community, and how to effectively and respectfully serve New Jersey's homeless, a growing population that includes families, teens, and veterans. Hear innovative outreach approaches, including a reference library conceptualized, curated, and run by the homeless.   WHAT IS THIS?! Middle Grade? YA? New Adult? Top Authors Address Category Crossover Confusion Sponsored by Children’s Services Section & Young Adult Services Section Monday, June 2  from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.   Presenters: Megan McCafferty, author, moderator E. Lockhart, author Robin Wasserman, author Sarah Mlynowski, author   Until 2000, there was no such thing as the New York Times Children’s Bestsellers List. Since then, this increasingly dynamic market has called for the creation of the Children’s Series Bestsellers List in 2004, followed by both the Middle Grade and Young Adult Bestsellers Lists in 2012. Is it only a matter time before there’s a separate “New Adult” list? Or a distinction is made between “Upper Middle Grade” and “Lower Middle Grade”? The classification of books for young readers has changed drastically in the past decade and continues to evolve so quickly that it’s hard for readers to keep up! Four popular authors who write bestselling novels for children and teens will lead this discussion.   Detecting & Protecting your Digital Footprint at Work, Home & on the Road: ID Theft & You Sponsored by Intellectual Freedom Subcommittee & Public Relations Subcommittee Monday, June 2  from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.     Presenters: Robert J. Lackie, Rider University Professor-Librarian; Franklin F. Moore Library  Department Chairperson; Liaison to the School of Education and the Discovery    Program Marguerite Dugas, Ocean County Library, Moderator   Social networking sites, search engines, and home, work, and public computers provide considerable information on you—your digital footprint. Though ID theft is on the rise, many people are not vigilant in protecting their privacy, identity, and good name. This session helps you analyze ID safety issues and apply safeguards at work, home, and on the road. Explore online identity and privacy sites, tools, and resources so you can detect and protect your digital footprint.   Disruptive Thinking about Disruptive Innovation Sponsored by the Administration & Management, College & Universities, and Reference Sections Monday, June 2  from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.     Presenters: Dr. Susan Breakenridge Fink, Rowan University Mr. Marc Davis, Drake University Gracemary Smulewitz, Rutgers University, moderator   How does an academic library prepare for a future filled with new technologies, unexpected trends and new information ecologies? Will we be successful providing our same services or will our role be replaced by an unexpected disruptive innovation? Understanding the theory behind ʺdisruptive innovationʺ can help us identify tools and services that are ripe for disruption. Using ʺdisruptive thinkingʺ can help reshape those tools and services to meet user needs.
