Cycling for Libraries – A Tame the Web Guest Post by Mace Ojala
At Cycling for libraries we assume each and every participant is an expert in their profession, and has something valuable to share, and also a lot of things to learn. We assume that we are all intelligent, and also physical, social, emotional and beautiful beings. A one-and-a-half week bicycle journey works as a framework for this. We design and build our unconference not to be hostile to life, but to be lifelike itself.
This Sunday 23 September 2012, the LIANZA Conference kicks off – follow http://twitter.com/LIANZA2012 and the hashtag #lianza2012. There are some pretty highpowered peeps in attendance. we’re planning to get some posts from our attendees to share with you all.

That “cycling for libraries” is pretty cool! Interestingly I first saw a number of very unconventional interactive sessions at a cycling conference in Copenhagen (incl. “roundtables” and “speed-dating”!), and we used the same formats for a walking/cycling conference in Hastings earlier this year. Must be something about cycling that everyone wants to get off their chairs and move around…
More locally, perhaps you might be interested in the discussions at “Cycling in Christchurch” – http://cyclingchristchurch.co.nz/. Add to your library cycling links webpage perhaps?
