SirsiDynix, Professional Development & Marketing

I met Stephen Abram last November at PALA's annual conference. He suggested we think big! He sure does! I looked at his blog last year and I think I looked at the SirsiDynix website too. Yet it was only today that I realized the SD website offers a ton of FREE lectures. Just click and listen. Many offer accompanying handouts. I listened to Stephen's Nov. 11, 2005 lecture about 'Google and Libraries.' Excellent! AND still VERY relevant.

Here's the link to the entire treasure trove. Pat Wagner lectures too! Enjoy!

Providing professional development is a great marketing strategy for SirsiDynix. It makes them our partner. I suspect libraries might do well imitating the plan. Our customers are curious about all kinds of things from technology to knitting. We too, want to be their information & knowledge partners; as vital a part of our respective communities as SirsiDynix is to the library community. It's all about relationships!
