Fulbright Symposium and Slideshare

Yesterday, today and tomorrow is the annual Maghrebi Studies Symposium for Fulbright Grantees in Morocco. I was scheduled to present about a subject of my choice on the first day. Since comparative librarianship has been a budding interest and since I'd been interested in formalizing my thoughts on the topic, I volunteered to talk about LIS education in Morocco.

My 25-minute presentation was well-received. To be complete about creating a record, I posted the slides to Slideshare last night before going to bed. That was nine hours ago, and the presentation's already gotten 9 views. Slideshare considers itself the YouTube of presentations. Hard to believe there's that much traffic on an LIS education presentation that covers a country in the developing world.

Just goes to show that the Fulbright follks at MACECE are on the right track in organizing this symposium every year. I'm very grateful to them for the opportunity, and was honored to be able to take part.
