ASCLA Displaying Partnerships: How to Successfully Build Partnerships with Other Agencies For the last two years, a regional library consortium in Ohio has partnered with the local division of the American Cancer Society to provide information, ideas and resources to all types of libraries in the state for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, held each October. Spurred by its success, the consortium plans to expand their reach to other types of cancer awareness. This program will review the successes of the partnership, and shed insight on how to foster similar partnerships between your library and local community organizations. Track: User Services Subtrack: Outreach LITA Taking Technology to Task: Point/Counterpoint on Mobile Learning What does it mean to mediate learning in an untethered society? Emerging technologies open doors to exciting opportunities, but as an end in themselves can put us at risk of losing sight of strategic priorities. Whether implicit or explicit, the dual role of the librarian as information professional and as teacher affords us unique insight into our communities’ needs. Panelists will discuss the possibilities and pitfalls inherent in various aspects of mobile learning.
