Washington State Library Hosts 2012 CE Forum

 

Rand Simmons, Acting Washington State Librarian

The 2012 CE Forum brought together Continuing Education and Training Coordinators from State Libraries across the nation. Over three days, August 27 – 29, 2012, numerous activities took place such as: the Coordinators presented selected training successes and challenges in their states; broadband adoption and digital literacy implementation was discussed; the groundbreaking Edge Benchmarks were reviewed; and an very active session on “Envisioning the Future of the Library” took place. The Envisioning the Future session allowed participants to discuss future trends in libraries and how those trends impact training needs in libraries across the nation.

Many comments were received acknowledging the great organizational work done by Jennifer Fenton to put the 2012 CE Forum together. Many comments were also received complimenting Rand Simmons for his work as emcee. Washington Talking Book and Braille Library staff made the reception on Monday night a great success and a fun event. Library Reporting Out on Successful Projects South Carolinadevelopment staff provided great support both before and throughout the event.

A huge shout out for a very successful 2012 CE Forum. Thanks to all for your great work in moving the CE Forum forward.
