<h3>
Take a bow </h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
dust has settled on another great A&SL conference and the committee are
contemplating going off to hibernate for a few weeks. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before
we do that though all that remains to be done for #asl2015 is to extend our
thanks to all the amazing folks who made it possible. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
To our speakers - what can we say but take a bow one and all. Every year we put out the call and every year we are blown away by the sheer volume of talent on display across the two days. To each and every one of you who stood up and presented...from our amazing keynotes Malachy Browne, who had us all running to check privacy settings and Helen Shenton who set us looking to the future, to our case study presenters, parallel sessions, workshops and pecha kucha's a big big round of applause all. Taking to the podium is not always easy and only the brave do so, so if you presented last week, take it easy...you've earned it. Extra kudos to Martin (the show must go on) O' Connor who embodied the spirit of Sir Henry's breezing through the sound of alarms to keep the show running. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To all our speakers ... <a href="http://youtu.be/pCx5Std7mCo"><b>THIS ONE's</b> </a>for all of you, hard as nails the lot of you. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Big thanks too to our great sponsors; IEEE, ProQuest, LM Information, Taylor & Francis, Dublin Business School, EBSCO and IET you are a vital part of getting the show on the road.<br />
<br />
Thanks also to the wonderful <a href="http://www.heanet.ie/">HEAnet</a> for providing live strreaming services again this year. Videos of the talks will be available on the <a href="http://www.aslibraries.com/">A&SL website</a> within a week (as will presentations). <br />
<br />
<h3>
Trending Info Pros </h3>
Finally, thanks to our delegates ... the hardest working most engaged conference attendees ever. You dont just have to take my word for it, our delegates generated so much twitter action that by mid morning on Friday #asl2015 was trending and continued to do so as the day went on. Check out the Storify (below) of the twitter participation over the two days. <br />
<br />
<h3>
And finally ... </h3>
The committee will now go off and sleep for a few months (we wish). So the only question remaining now is ....where to next year? That one is up to you, so inspire us.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The annual conference is only days away and the A&SL committee is putting the icing on the info cake that is 'The Inside Out Library: Collaboration, Inspiration, Transformation'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A 12 Month project planning exercise</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The annual conference marks the end of what is usually an almost 12 month long planning process, often starting when the previous year's conference closes. The ideas and trends emerging after one conference are usually used as the starting place to brainstorm a theme for the following year. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The A&SL committee meet once a month for two hours to plan our regular networking or training events, discuss LAI business, talk about new ways to give back to our members and as the conference gets closer to flesh out the theme and put together a programme. A half day yearly planning meeting usually takes place in the summer and this is where the foundation for the next ASL conference starts to be laid. Once we have a theme and a date the committee members fall into place with everyone taking the lead on a specific aspect of the conference project plan ... collaboration in action! Each year one brave committee member takes on the role of overall project manager, kudos go this year to Marie Cullen who has ably captained the good ship #ASL2015 to this point. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every year we look to the Academic and Special Library community to inspire and each year the bar gets raised higher. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year we are really proud of the standard of speakers and presentations. We hope that the 21 speakers, presentations, pecha kuchas and workshops will make #asl2015 delegates as proud of the profession as we are. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Committee members will be on hand throughout Thursday and Friday to answer any questions, address any concerns or just have a chat about how the conference is going for you. You will be able to spot us we'll be the ones with the green badges ushering you from talk to talk & generally trying to keep things on track. So feel free to grab any us us (not literally of course) for a chat - we like to think we take all feedback and input on board. </span><br />

A vital part of the #asl2015 mix </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are three very important components that are vital to making the A&SL annual conference a success: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fantastic speakers who raise the bar every year, our delegates who register to come along and keep the conversation flowing and finally our wonderful sponsor companies. Without our sponsors we really couldn't have taken the conference to the level it is now at and their attendance acts as an opportunity for conversation between the information community and resource vendors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7hN3bNyWG8imMXUIh9x2uiSmitgL_PZTeMwFMtT9QW7QvpYX-Rj06T4x8Mm2SPiQL3wU4gThkddSZAnB1PTKDVxXOOqUHlrB934SVcNSN5Db9-X8swJ_YeWyyLfPxv1slb3UYxOOdsxY/s1600/ASL+sponsors+banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7hN3bNyWG8imMXUIh9x2uiSmitgL_PZTeMwFMtT9QW7QvpYX-Rj06T4x8Mm2SPiQL3wU4gThkddSZAnB1PTKDVxXOOqUHlrB934SVcNSN5Db9-X8swJ_YeWyyLfPxv1slb3UYxOOdsxY/s1600/ASL+sponsors+banner.jpg" height="25" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are delighted to have seven great sponsor companies on board this year. We hope delegates will take time over the two day event to drop by the sponsor stands and chat with the representatives about their products and services. Browsing by the sponsor stands at the conference is a great way of getting up to date about new products that might be perfect for your library, finding out about new features of familiar resources, sharing your resourcing challenges or just providing your insight into what information professionals really need from vendors and providers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The time catching up with information professionals is also really valuable for the company representatives who are always eager to find out about what is happening in academic and special libraries and how they can respond. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our sponsors will have stands set up in the concourse area and will be on hand for the duration of the conference to talk with delegates. Our platinum sponsors this year, IEEE and Proquest will also each deliver a five minute lightning presentation on their latest developments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>Time for the flipcharts</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">After lunch on day two of a conference might be the time for the slump to set in but at #asl2015 we are making sure you avoid the afternoon adrenalin drop. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Our Friday afternoon schedule will get the ideas flowing with three unique workshops examining different aspects of information provision. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Jane Burns, Research Manager at the Health Professions Education Centre at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland and lecturer at UCD school of Information Studies will get us out on a scavenger hunt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Jane's workshop demonstrates the use of the scavenger hunt as a tool for teaching collaborative working skills. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Jessica Eustace Cook, SFI Research Support Officer Trinity College Dublin sets her sights on filling the empty cup. Jessica will share her tips and tricks to source and manage fundraising for events. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Roy Murray, Digital Marketing Executive with <a href="http://anoige.ie/">An Oige</a> will show us how to find our social media brand voice in his workshop. Roy will ease our fears of the dreaded 'marketing speak' and show workshop attendees how development of a social media brand voice can be done in a few simple steps. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">With three diverse workshops on offer the problem won't be beating the afternoon energy crash but deciding which workshop to sign up for when you register ... we'll leave that dilemma to you. </span></div>

Pecha Kucha, the bite sized presentation treat </h3>
Extending the A&SL conference has enabled us to add some new presentation formats to the schedule. This year, to shake things up a bit we will offer Pecha Kucha presentations.<br />
<br />
What the @*%$ is a Pecha Kucha you say? <br />
<br />
The Pecha Kucha presentation format traditionally allows for 20 images or slides each timed for 20 seconds. The format aims to keep presenters focused on a fast paced and visual delivery of their topic.<br />
<br />
Since we aren't sticklers for the rules at A&SL central command we're giving our Pecha Kucha presenters a nice round ten minutes rather than the rather messy 6 minutes 40 seconds.<br />
<br />
So, if you are joining us on Thursday February 26th you'll be in for a bite size treat between 4.05 & 4.35. <br />
We'll be spotlighting our three Pecha Kucha presenters on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ASLIBRARIES">A&SL Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ASLIBRARIES">Twitter</a> this week, so stay tuned or check them out <a href="http://www.aslibraries.com/#!parallel-speakers/c2rm">HERE </a> <br />

This year we will have 9 poster presentations on display in the Stratocaster suite for the duration of the conference. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The posters by Library and Information professionals in academic, health and special libraries present projects covering topics from digitisation and resource development to collaboration and professional development. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Delegates are encouraged to browse posters and take the opportunity to talk with poster presenters about their projects. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Delegate packs will contain voting forms to be submitted by lunchtime on Friday 27th so you can cast your vote for the best poster presentation. </div>

<b>The Forgotten Zine Archive</b></div>
<br />
Libraries, the material they catalogue and the audiences they seek to empower come in all shapes and sizes and the case of the Forgotten Zine Archive serves to remind us of this. <br />
<br />
To the uninitiated a Zine (as in FanZINE or MagaZINE) is an amateur home made publication, generally on a topic close to the maker's heart. Though the roots of the format can arguably be traced back to Benjamin Franklin's early amateur publications the zine came into its own with the growth of alternative music fan publications through the 1980's and 1990's. By the early 2000's with easy access to online communities the zine as an outlet for free expression began to fade. <br />
<br />
The Forgotten Zine Archive began life as the collection of Irish Zine enthusiast Ciaran Walsh, migrating from a warehouse in North Strand to its current home in <a href="http://seomraspraoi.org/">Seomra Spraoi</a>. It has grown to a collection of over 1, 200 zines representing the voices of the alternative publishing movement in Ireland.<br />
<br />
Mick O' Dwyer and Tom Maher, current curators of the collection and zine librarians will share the story of the Forgotten Zine Archive and illustrate its evolution from collection to collaborative enterprise. The archive has become an example of what an alternative library can be and the extent to which a library is more than just a physical collection as the zine archive has reached out to become a maker space, a source of education on the alternative press and a repository of this unique and individual publication format.<br />
<br />
Mick and Tom's case study will take us deep into the heart of zineland sharing their love of all things zine, they even promise to give us some hands on zine action with a pop up mini zine archive.<br />
<br />
Prepare for an all out zine love fest! <br />

Hugh and Michael will outline the rationale behind the move to 3D printing and the ongoing learning curve in the provision of the 3D printing service.<br />

<b>Helen Shenton, Librarian & Archivist Trinity College Dublin </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Keynote Friday Feb 27th </b></div>
<br />
#ASL2015 delegates are in for a treat on Friday 27th as our 2nd keynote Helen Shenton invites us to examine the changing role of libraries.<br />
<br />
Helen took up the role of Librarian & Archivist at Trinity College in May 2014 and is steering the Library through a changing landscape of information service provision. Her previous role as Executive Director of Harvard Library saw her bring together seventy-three libraries covering areas like digitisation, content development, records management and collections.<br />
<br />
Helen will share her experiences of collaborative and transformative working practice and look at the power of libraries and their collections to transform. <br />
<br />
You can get a flavour of Helen's talk by watching her Sept 2014 TEDx Talk <a href="http://www.tedxdublin.com/#!portfolio-item/collaboratories-and-bubbles-of-shush-how-libraries-are-transforming-helen-shenton/">HERE </a><br />

What do you get if you bring together a Librarian, a DJ, a Sociologist and the scattered memorabilia of thousands of sweaty nights in Cork's former premier music venue? This is the unique mix from which the Sir Henry's @UCC Library project was born. <br />
<br />
Martin O' Connor's case study '<b><i>From crowd surfing to crowd sourcing - collaboration & Sir Henry's @UCC</i></b>' will take us through the experience of conceptualising, crowdsourcing and curating the exhibition documenting the 26 year history of legendary Cork club Sir Henry's. <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><br />
<br />
The Sir Henry's project brings together all the themes of #ASL2015; collaborative working, the transformation of the library space and inspirational new directions for libraries. <br />
<br />
Expect some great stories, music and lots of nostagia... get ready to get your docs on and your rocks off, this one is going to be a real treat. <br />

<br />
Helen Fallon's case study of Maynooth University and the Ken Saro-Wiwa Archive presents the prefect illustration of librarians working in collaboration with archivists, academics and others to make this unique and powerful collection accessible.<br />
<br />
Helen is Deputy Librarian at Maynooth University and her past experience includes teaching librarianship in Sierra Leone and carrying out library consultancy work in Africa. When Maynooth University received the archive of the last writings of Nigerian writer and social activist Ken Saro-Wiwa in 2011 Helen's experience afforded her the opportunity to work with University colleagues editing the letters and writings resulting in the publication of 'Silence would be treason: the last writings of Ken Saro-Wiwa'. The Ken Saro-Wiwa audio archive at Maynooth University was developed out of this collection and was launched in November 2013.<br />
<br />
This case study presents a truly collaborative project with inter departmental, international and inter organisation collaboration and is a definitive example of how libraries are taking collections from the inside out. Helen will outline and share insights on the many partnerships involved in bringing the archive together and promoting it. <br />
<br />
This looks set to be a fascinating and inspiring exploration of new approaches to promoting library collections and working with others to amplify the reach of a valuable and important archive. <br />

<b>Malachy Browne - Managing Editor & Europe Anchor Reported.ly </b></div>
<br />
As witnessed in the unfolding of the recent attacks in Paris, news stories now play out in real time across social media.With eye witness reports streaming in via twitter and youtube how do you determine the accurate from the inaccurate and cultivate the best sources? This is the world of social reporting.<br />
<br />
Like information professionals journalists face the challenge of sourcing, verifying and curating large volumes of information from an ever expanding range of media. With a team based across Europe and the US <a href="http://reported.ly/">Reported.ly</a>, the social media reporting arm of First Look Media harness the social web to get to the heart of the story. <br />
<br />
Malachy Browne is Managing Editor and Europe Anchor of Reported.ly. He joined in December 2014 from news agency <a href="http://storyful.com/" target="_blank">Storyful</a>, where as news editor he led a global team of journalists reporting on international news stories emerging on social networks. Malachy's interests include international politics, conflict, social justice and human rights. He covered the Arab Spring with Storyful and has also covered conflict in Ivory Coast, Syria and Ukraine. He has written about eyewitness media and citizen networks for Al Jazeera, Open Democracy and the European Journalism Centre's Verification Handbook. <a href="http://www.aslibraries.com/#!malachy-browne---storyful--/c115g" target="_blank">More about Malachy >>></a><br />

The inside out library: collaboration, inspiration, transformation </h3>
#ASL2015 will take place on February 26th & 27th 2015 in the Gibson Hotel Dublin<br />
<br />
Librarians are stepping out from behind the issue desk, taking on new roles, forming new partnerships and applying their skills and knowledge to new situations. Join the A&SL Committee in 2015 as we consider the growing importance of collaboration for the profession and discover how collaboration both inspires and transforms.<br />
We will be asking: What do librarians have to offer both inside and outside of the library? How do our skills transfer to new environments? What can we learn from professionals in other institutions and other sectors? What new opportunities are out there for librarians and where are the "library" jobs of the future?<br />
We invite case studies about innovative projects involving collaboration or community outreach. What are the benefits of such projects? How do they work and what can we learn from them? We would also like to hear from librarians working in non-traditional roles and sectors.<br />
Join us for the 2015 A&SL Annual Conference - you might just be inspired to turn your library inside out!<br />
<br />
Calls for papers and posters will be released in the coming weeks<br />
Stay tuned for more details and we hope to see you with in February! </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;">As Information professionals
the need to be innovative and the ability to evolve with our dynamic working
environment is essential to our continued professional development. In 2014,
the A&SL Annual Conference & Exhibition will challenge us to consider
our profession beyond the boundaries of the Library as a physical space, of
mobile devices as containers and the notion of information as a bound entity.
The newly formatted Annual Conference & Exhibition will run over a day and
a half encompassing plenary sessions, case studies, workshops, posters and
lightning sessions from our sponsors. Join the A&SL Committee and our
delegates as we explore the topics which affect us today, share best practice,
and celebrate the innovation of information professionals.</span></h2>
