Hi Friends,

I send a message out two weeks ago about this event and asked for
contributions.  I received enough to write a nice report. 

 

Here is a message from WebJunction announcing an open forum on this topic.

 

Public Access Computing Around the World Online Event at WebJunction

In conjunction with our Public Access Computing Around the World focus in
May, the WebJunction Community is proud to present an online event on the
All Aboard Discussions message boards.

 

The event will take place for three days on May 10, 11, & 12. We will open
up a new forum on the main page of All Aboard Discussions for this special
theme and in the anticipation of further conversation around this exciting
topic. The forum will be found at http://webjunction.org/forums/, or go to
the WebJunction Home page (http://webjunction.org ), click on "Community
Center" and then "All Aboard".

 

We have two guest facilitators to moderate our community discussion: Nancy
Bolt, Colorado State Library, American Bulgarian Library Exchange Project,
and Pilar Pacheco, Training Area Coordinator, BiblioRedes Project in
Chile. The goals of this event are to:

--Open the door to the international library world

--Learn some practical ideas from other countries

--Give everyone a better appreciation for the challenges and successes of
public access computing

 

The event will be all the livelier if library staff from all over the
globe tune into this asynchronous discussion and offer their questions and
comments. Please spread the word to your international friends and
associates. Everyone is welcome to read the All Aboard forums. If you want
to participate, you will need to register, sign in, and post. There is a
PDF document attached with instructions for those who haven’t previously
participated in a WebJunction or other online forum.

 

As the BiblioRedes project says, "Abre Tu Mundo" --Open Your World!
