Abstract
Library Camps and Unconferences
Highlights
Camp conjures up images of childhood summer days at a lake participating in activities with other kids
While library camp for adult librarians is a bit different, it shares the similarity of peer camaraderie and may be no less enjoyable than the summer camp of halcyon days gone by
Just as the uncola has been marketed as a refreshing alternative to cola, the unconference presents the potential of a refreshing way of meeting as an alternative to the structured conference. ‘‘Library camp’’ and ‘‘unconference’’ are synonymous terms and may be used interchangeably
Summary
Camp conjures up images of childhood summer days at a lake participating in activities with other kids. Those who find the informal aspects of a traditional library conference the most valuable are ideal candidates to attend a library camp or unconference. Capitalizing on the synergy achieved through this type of informal exchange of ideas is the relatively new concept of the library camp or unconference.
