Better Late Than...

Last May, 2012, University of Calgary hosted two landmark conferences. Good for you if got to one of them.  If you were at both, you either live in Calgary or your travel budget should be investigated.

The 6th Canadian Learning Commons Conference was May 7-9. Nineteen presentations have been archived and you can browse them at: http://tinyurl.com/a9ag4bf  The next CLCC will be June 9-11, 2014 at Bishop's U., Quebec

Designing Libraries for the 21st Century, May 17-19, was a co-production of U. of Calgary and CNI.  Links to nine of the presentations are here: http://library.ucalgary.ca/lib21/presentations. Joseph Rondinelli's slides, with highly detailed renderings and photos of five Shepley Bulfinch projects (Duke, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Teachers' College and Atlanta U. Ctr) are at: http://tinyurl.com/aryqkmy
