Nominate Your Newbie for an Award!

From Punk Farm.

Do you know an awesome n00brarian with at least one year of experience? If so, you should DEFINITELY nominate him or her for a state award!

Last year, Wisconsin Library Association NMRT began awarding a free year of membership to a one new librarian who showed promise in the profession, called the Rising Star Award. Last year, this award went to a fine, upstanding librarian whose professional demeanor is beyond reproach.

A few weeks ago I was able to present with Anna (Future Librarian Superhero) and Anne (So Tomorrow) at the Michigan Library Association's Spring Institute in Lansing, MI. Though Anna, Anne and I talk through various social media outlets, I just met Anna in person last May at the WAPL conference, and neither of us had met Anne until the day of the presentation. If you're wondering how we managed to stay relatively on message for this hour long break-out session, I'll have you know it was due to the wonder of technology. We mostly brainstormed on Twitter and Google chat, and created a shared PowerPoint on Google Drive. While adding to the presentation, you could see where someone else was adding to their part or doing some revising. It was simultaneously a magical and creepy experience.
