Prepare to Defend Your(site)!
May 21, 2009
I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop at the Manitoba Libraries Conference 2009: Future Generations, Evolving Services in Winnipeg, Manitoba on May 7th, 2009.
My thanks to the audience who threw themselves enthusiastically into my “Prepare to Defend Your(site)! Internet Performance Measurement” workshop. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about challenges faced by libraries in the digital world as we were able to divide the group into three segments:
- institutional libraries such as University of Manitoba library
- rural libraries such as Lac Du Bonnet regional library and
- special libraries such as the Manitoba Association of Library Technicians (otherwise known as MALT)
In addition, I’d like to thank the Manitoba Libraries Association conference programming committee for the flawless organization of those of us involved in the event and the event itself. In particular, I’d like to thank Kerry Macdonald Pat Routledge and Jo Ann Richling.
So glad to meet you all, and to have the chance to see a bit more of my Canada!
