presentations/programs

I love presenting and training.  I’ve been presenting professionally since 2001.  One of my favorite topics to present/train on is helping library generalists become familiar with teen services. (what I call Teen Services 101.)  Here you’ll find links to some of my past presentations and, when applicable, links to resources I created for them.  I’m a big fan of the social bookmarking site Delicious and any time I create a presentation, I try to have an accompanying Delicious account, all of them are linked here.  If you’re interested in more information about any of these programs, in collaborating with me, or in having me present, please contact me at fatgirlreading at gmail dot com.
