Library Cataloging
Still reading Walt's book First Have Something to Say and I must add an emphatic YES to the chapter "Hiding Behind PowerPoint". I find these cookie-cuter viewings in dim light tedious. At the last Texas Library Association conference Eric Lease Morgan spoke on MyLibrary. The computer died (not his fault, the AV support was horrible) so he spoke without the slides. Just wonderful, personal, animated and connected to his audience. What a blessing. I found out later he rarely uses PowerPoint.Walt also mentions, but fails to cite the article Hill, Janet Swan "A View from the Podium" American Libraries Vol. 33 Issue 5, p. 65 (May 2002). If you are responsible for arranging speakers for an event, read this. Copy it and keep it in your organization's officer's manual.
