About

Ryan Deschamps is e-Learning Manager at the Halifax Public Libraries in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

He was the first graduate of Dalhousie Universities combined MPA/MLIS program and won the Louis Vagianos Medal “awarded to a graduating student who combines the capacity for blending originality with practical thinking and the courage to seek solutions to professional problems outside the mainstream.”   I like to think that describes me — practical, yet innovative; thinking outside the box, so that the stuff inside the box gets better.   That sort of thing.

His main interests include technology, ethics, public service and education.

    Hi Ryan,

    I was wondering how the participants at the NSLA conference responded to your presentation. You mentioned that they were going to fill out a survey about their experiences.

    Thanks
    Deborah

    Hi Deborah,

    Usually we get evaluations back a few weeks after the program, so we’ll have to see. I will blog the response once I hear back.

    Of course, the verbal response was positive, but I wouldn’t expect someone to come up to me to tell me how much they hated my presentation. :)
