Dear Colleagues, We are looking for a recorder for the session "Effective Public Speaking and Presentations for the Art Information Professional" being held on Monday May 5, 10:15 - 11:45am. If you are interested please contact Barbara Rockenbach, <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] Session Description: Effective Public Speaking and Presentations for the Art Information Professional At one time or another in a career, all art information professionals are called upon to present in front of colleagues, faculty, students, or administrators. These moments range in content and format from a library instruction session, to a session at ARLIS, to a presentation to the provost. The art library professional must effectively present their ideas and essentially "sell the library" to these various constituents. This session will outline the importance of public speaking for art professionals and offer practical tips for improving public speaking. The session will be lead by a communications professor from the University of Denver, who will lay out basic tenets of effective public speaking. There will also be a panel of librarians responding to the talk and putting the speaking tips into context for the art information professional. Moderator: Barbara Rockenbach, Director of Undergraduate & Library Research Education, Yale University Speaker: Jeanette Valenti, PhD, ABD, Adjunct Instructor, University of Denver Q&A responders: Amy Lucker, Library Director, Institute of Fine Arts, NYU; Barbara Rockenbach, and Jeanette Valenti.
