Laughs, Bits, and Bytes! Spring Support Staff Symposium
The Spring Support Staff Symposium will be held on April 17, 2008, at Sinclair Community College in Dayton.
The morning keynote is by Motivational Humorist Kay Frances, MBA who has spread her message to “lighten up and stress less” in 38 states and Canada for over two decades. Kay offers a healthy dose of laughter that can be just what the doctor ordered for your well-being. With her clean and upbeat presentations, people laugh while they learn without straining their brain. In our frenzied world, we need to be reminded of the importance of humor in helping us lead stress-free, healthy and productive lives. Kay will treat us to her "Laugh. . Just for the Heatlh of It" presentation.
The breakout sessions are listed below:
Cindi Trainor, Coordinator for Library Technology & Data Services at Eastern Kentucky University, will speak about Social Tools in the library. Cindi's presentation will include tools like blogs, wikis, IM, tagging, and podcasts. Cindi will also discuss social "spaces" like MySpace, Facebook, and Second Life and how libraries are using these tools.
Bonny Bonar, Educational Development Coordinator/Microsoft Specialist, Office of Professional & Organizational Development at Northern Kentucky University, will speak about "Inbox Zero and Get Organized and Productive--Using Microsoft Outlook."
