That led to a discussion around three themes. Under each, the participants suggested actions that we could take to make IAMSLIC thrive.<br \/>\n1. Communication<br \/>\nThe Pacific Islands Regional Group need a discussion list to improve communication within the region.<br \/>\nWe all need to contribute to the IAMSLIC blog and discussion list. Posts to the blog automatically go to the discussion list.<br \/>\nPosts can include projects that individuals are working on, descriptions of the work we are doing locally as well as regular updates from regional group coordinators.<br \/>\nThe blog is a way to share training ideas and resources.<br \/>\n2. Professional Development<br \/>\nASFA is working on short interactive training videos.<br \/>\nWe should have a spot on the IAMSLIC web site for training materials. This could be something of a &#8216;tip&#8217; box and a listing of useful resources from YouTube videos to our own local training materials.<br \/>\nSuggested topics for workshops and training were disaster management and digitization procedures.<br \/>\n3. Resource Sharing.<br \/>\nAlmost everyone at the conference uses the Z39.50 Library. Several had suggestions and questions. Steve Watkins gave a demonstration after lunch for those who wanted a refresher who had questions.<\/p>\n<p>If you have suggestions for training topics or anything else under these categories, let me know.
