The 120th @tisfortraining recorded on Friday. Download the podcast here.
We talked with Kate Kostursk and Andrea Snyder about conference behaviors and things we want everyone to know about conferences. (However that list is in another place than I am this point.)
But I tell you what, it was a brilliant list.
Episode 119 (60 minutes) is a conversation between Maurice Coleman, Marianne Lenox and Jill Hurst-Wahl. By the way, those long silences aren’t a technical glitch, unless you want to call Maurice’s kitchen plumbing issue a tech problem! The episode begins with Maurice asking Jill about being on the Board of Directors for SLA and then moves into a lively discussion about keynote speakers, and our belief that it is important to have more speakers who are female and people of color.
Some of the sites and people mentioned:
- The Eloquent Woman (blog)
- Forrest Foster – Access Services/Information Commons Coordinator, Winston-Salem State University
- James Kane – Loyalty consultant
- Eugenie Prime – Former SLA president, former head of the HP Libraries

Maurice Coleman
T is for Training Host and Producer.
Guest host Kate is back, filling in for Maurice while he is down in Virginia presenting at the Virginia Library Directors’ meeting (but he and usual suspect Paul Signorelli did find time to call in and say hello).
Our conversation this episode is (mostly) with usual suspect Jill Hurst-Wahl and her experiences at the R Squared Conference, a very different kind of library conference, earlier this month in Telluride, Colorado. (Also on the call is usual suspect Marianne Lenox!)
Some links discussed during the show:
- Jill’s blog posts highlighting the conference:

- Blog post from Syracuse iSchool student Topher Lawton on his experiences:
http://infospace.ischool.syr.edu/2012/09/19/r-squared-game-changer/
- Topher also shared his experiences on his personal blog:

- What other library conference can you attend where you can get up close and personal with a snake? (Thanks to Crystal Schimpf for the photo!)

No show today, next show on August 24th….
When did the Bald Geek in MD turn female and pick up a New Jersey accent?
Oh wait…that’s just guest host Kate (@librarian_kate)!
Join Kate and Paul Signorelli (@trainersleaders) for a mostly serious conversation about technology, training with different skill levels, the trainer as trainee, and more. Paul claims he’s not interesting and Kate claims she didn’t break Talkshoe, but we beg to differ.
Some of the useful stuff we talk about:
- Craftsy platform (powered by Sympoz) as an example for interactive, engaging learning with technology. Read about it here.
- Paul’s blog post on how to deal with what we called the “social media hangover”
- The awesomeness of alalearning.org
Listen here or download on iTunes. Follow @tisfortraining for tidbits etc and all our usual suspects on the left hand side for general hijinks.
We’ll see you in August. Feel better Maurice and enjoy your new bionic wrists!
– Kate :)
First THANKS TO THE incredible usual suspects that graced us with their presence at ALA. Peter C, Paul S, MLX Kate and for a brief moment in time Julie.
Second, there will be no T is for Training tomorrow.
My adorable granddaughter trumps training talk this time.
The next scheduled one is July 27th but that my be out as well depending on my summer schedule for my new bionic wrists. If you want to guest host, drop me a line baldgeekinmd at gmail dot com and we will see what we can do.
