The third Library Assistants’ Day was held on November 3, 2009 in Syracuse.  Over 115 people came to this event that was co-sponsored by Nylink, CLRC, SCRLC, RRLC, and Upstate Medical.  It was a great turn-out and a wonderful opportunity to meet with colleagues from across the state and one from Canada.   Sessions included customer service based upon FISH!, social networking, creating library exhibits and displays, genealogy resources, an update on Microsoft 2007 and time management.   Thanks to all of the attendees and our speakers for a day well spent learning and networking.  Now it is onto the fourth annual Library Assistants’ Day, 2010.
