MLA 2024 Conference

This session is for anyone who struggles to explain "why libraries" to non-library people. We tend to "info dump" when given the opportunity, losing the attention of our audience. In this session, the participant will be challenged to think about their library's mission and their own work in the structure of an elevator speech. Participants will produce their own elevator speech using a template, and will then practice their elevator speeches in front of their colleagues in small groups.
