We had another really successful Library Unconference in Perth on Saturday October 3rd 2009. This year called Libcamp 09 LibraryCamp Perth 2009: Keeping the fire burning.
One of the highlights for me was our last minute surprise guest participant and Web Tamer: Michael Stephens.
Michael is part way through a CAVAL research project looking at outcomes of the 23 Things Learning 2.0 program in Australian libraries and he presented some of the preliminary findings of the research and also generously made himself available to answer questions and ask questions of the group.
Along the same vein it was also great the hear the Murdoch library people talking about implementing their 14 things ( an updated version of the 23 Things) for academic, library and other staff at Murdoch University.
One of the best parts of these days are the serendipitous lunchtime chats with people about all sorts of things like the recent: IAML conference in Amsterdam ...makes me wish I was still a music librarian!
Also heard about Central TAFE signing up to Microsoft Live@Edu
Another good session was on the New Zealand Kete. Kete Horowhenua is “a knowledge basket of images, audio, video and documents which are collected and catalogued by the community”. Kete seems to be like a Digital Commons for community and local history information
Coverage of called Library Camp Perth is at the wiki
Session notes here and there is also a Twitterfountain harvesting all the Twitter feed on the Librarians Matter blog.
Thanks to Michael, all the un-organisers and those who gave up their Saturday to participate and make the Library Unconference a great success.
