My January - July 2012 schedule (or at least how it looks now)

Besides teaching graduate classes at Syracuse University (SU), I will be attending (and sometimes speaking at) these events during the first half of 2012:

• SLA Leadership Summit, Jan. 25-28 (with SLA Board of Director meetings on Jan. 24-25), InterContinental Buckhead Hotel, Atlanta, GA

• First Mondays / A Conversation with Jill Hurst-Wahl, Feb. 6, Solvay Public Library, Solvay, NY - I will be talking about careers, providing career advice, and discussing the book  The Information and Knowledge Professionals Career Handbook.  Participants are encouraged to bring questions.
• Computers in Libraries 2012, Mar. 21-23, Washington Hilton, Washington, DC - I'll be moderating Track E - 21st Century Library Systems & Operations on Mar. 22.By the way, the SU iSchool will be exhibiting at CIL, so I'll likely spend some time in the booth.
• SLA Annual Conference, July 15 -18, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL.  I will be giving a Career Connection session entitled "Make the Most of a Difficult Situation: Solutions to Get You Through." (SLA Board of Director meetings will occur before the conference begins.) 

I'd also like to make it to the next Olin Innovation Lab at Olin College, which I expect will be in April. (details on the last one)  These are small,informative events focused on IT and engineering.

As always, if we happen to be at the same event - or even in the same vicinity - please reach out and say "hello". If possible, let's find time to meet for a cup of coffee!
