Read that subject line anyway you want to, but be sure you compare the APLA 2003 <http://staff.library.mun.ca/apla/> conference with the Facing the Challenges of an Aging Workforce conference <http://www.whitmell.com/conference/facing/> APLA 2003, The View from here/Vue d'en haut, has not only sessions on aging (staff and patrons), but also many opportunities to meet with your "old" friends. And what a bargain, it is in St. John's this year. Check it out. #203 A keynote address by Dr. Fiona Black who will reflect on continuing education and how you encourage lifelong learning in people who are just beginning, in the middle of, or nearing the end of, their careers. #204 The world of grants for libraries and archives: opportunities and pitfalls - grants can produce new projects and new opportunities for those who have "done it all." #211 Initiatives in staff development - theory and practice - the title says it all. #302 Rockets and rocking chairs: services to seniors in the 21st century - don't forget our patrons are aging too.
