Wayback Wednesday: Tips to help you as you attend conferences (including a new handout)

Among my blog posts are posts that contains tips and other information related to attending conferences.  Those posts include:

• Call me maybe? (Business cards)
• ALA conference tips from T is for Training
• Conference Codes of Conduct: Why they are important
• The Cost of Attending a Conference
• Why conferences matter
• By Request: Networking Advice 

Last week, I spoke at a session for the SU iSchool MSLIS students, who are interested in attending conferences. The New York Library Association Annual Conference is coming up soon (November) and so this was a good time to talk about conferences in general and NYLA specifically. For the session, I developed the handout below, which incorporates advice from several different people. I know that there is much more that could have been said, but I didn't want to totally overwhelm them.  If you find this handout useful, please use it!
