CARLDIG-S 2018 Fall Program, Travel Report

Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles

Narrative

On Friday December 7, 2018 I traveled to the William H. Hannon Library on the campus of Loyola Marymount University to attend the fall program of CARLDIG-S: Recapturing Reference: Making Research Relevant for Today’s Student. Michelle DeMars and George Martinez traveled with me.

The purpose of this travel was to present about our pop-up chat widget experience at CSULB. There has been some exploration of this type of proactive chat in the LIS literature, we thought our experience with the flood of traffic it generated would be helpful for other librarians in the southern California area to hear about. The full schedule is below. Some of the presentations were lackluster but I did enjoy the presentation about chat transcript analysis by Alexander Justice.

Meals were included with registration and the food, catered by LMU, was satisfactory. This outing was beneficial on the professional networking front as I was able to meet in person a couple librarians who I had only previously known over email and to forge stronger connections to some who I had met previously at ACRL or via personal pathways that my spouse traveled when she worked at USC.
