 2017 Texas Library Association
District 3 Fall Meeting
(Held Oct 6, 2017)

"Libraries Respond to Changing Communities"

The District 3 Fall Meeting was held in Austin, Texas, at the Austin Community College Eastview Campus. This was a one-day educational and networking event that featured keynote sessions, breakout sessions, and exhibitors.

The theme was “Libraries Respond to Changing Communities.” Whether its adding to the collection, creating innovative programming, researching to verify truths, archiving the past for the future, collaborating with outside organizations, and/or recognizing and celebrating our own “awe” - our libraries respond to the changing needs of our communities.

Below is a listing of the presentations and provided materials by the speakers.

Keynotes
Dr. Julie Todaro: Critical Action Needed at Local, State and National Levels.

Dr. Todaro will speak about issues at a national level related to our theme and issues currently affecting our District.


Miguel Figuero: Collaborators for the Future: Trends, Changes, and Values for the Library of the Future  How do we think about the future? As something for someone else to worry about? As something that will happen to us, not with us? As something that is over-promised, but has under-delivered? Over the past two years, ALA’s Center for the Future of Libraries has learned that thinking about the future starts when we activate our minds to looks for signals and trends outside of our immediate environments – and then think about those trends in light of our professional values and the values we seek to provide for our communities. As we talk with our communities about the trends and signals we see, we can begin to make the move from futuring to innovation for better libraries. View Presentation
