The Texas State Library reminds ALL Texas library staff/volunteers/affiliates of the following free continuing education event: MILLENNIALS IN THE LIBRARY (a live streaming Webcast) BROADCAST DATE AND TIME: Friday, November 13, 2009, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Central Time PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: "The Millennial Generation, Generation Y, Echo Boomers, Digital Natives, and the Trophy Generation are all terms used to describe people born in the United States between the early 1980s and the early 1990s. They have been shaped by a heady mix of culture, politics, and technology. "Millennials" have had an unprecedented exposure to mass media, pop culture, instant communication, and cultural freedom woven together by a complex technological net. It is daunting to try to classify a group of over 70 million people easily. Our teleconference will seek to add nuance to these classifications to help us understand them more fully and answer the questions: Who are Millennials? How can our libraries better serve them as patrons, students, and staff?" -- The College of DuPage VIEWING AND REGISTRATION INFORMATION: This program may be viewed with a group via online Webcast at various host sites around the state.
