libraries and Millennials

Just heard about an interesting pre-conference at the American Library Association's midwinter meeting in Philadelphia, PA. It will be a two day course (January 10-11, 2008) on user-centered design by Brenda Reeb from the University of Rochester. Should be a good beginning and intermediate introduction to the processes that have culminated in the open-access monograph that Rochester has recently produced, Studying Students: The Undergraduate Research Project at the University of Rochester.

At this year's Educause Annual Conference there were a variety of sessions on millennials. I thought I would list them all here for those interested in this topic. I may have missed a few, if so let me know.
