Once again our neighbors to the north are providing the library community with concise information about staff development and training in today’s every changing environment.  The Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklinburg County (PLCMC) is a leader on Web 2.0 and public service.  Take a look at the InfoToday article called: The C’s of Our Sea Change: Plans for Training Staff, from Core Competencies to LEARNING 2.0 by Helene Blowers and Lori Reed.

PLCMC has also invited neighboring libraries to their Rock to the Future session February 26, 2007.  Not only will you get great information, you will get to see the ImaginOn in Charlotte.  Speakers include George Needham is Vice President for Member Services at OCLC Online Computer Library Center and Patricia Martin is president and founder of LitLamp Communications Group.  Library Development Services staff attended last year’s session where they introduced 23 things to the PLCMC staff.  Michael Stevens and Michael Casey were the main speakers.  Make your plans today to go to the session, you will not be disappointed!
