What is an UNCONFERENCE?!?
Our definition: Quick, single-topic discussions to share knowledge among librarians in a give-and-take format.
Dave winer states, [An unconference is] "The sum of the expertise of the people in the audience is greater than the sum of expertise of the people on stage." (Dave Winer blog, 3/5/2006)
Examples of Library unconferences:
Program Coordinator: Beta Lambda Chapter of Beta Phi Mu / Janet Bickel-Burton
