I have given over 100 presentations to small local audiences, mid-sized regional groups, and large national and international audiences. I have presented both face-to-face and online using just about every popular webinar software platform (Elluminate, Blackboard Collaborate, Adobe Connect, WebEx, GoToWebinar/GoToMeeting, etc.)

Below, are several recorded presentations I have given. There is also a listing of all the presentations I have given with links to slides and videos when available.

Presentation Samples

This was a keynote presentation I gave at the LIANZA Conference in Palmerston North, New Zealand on sustainable innovation.

This webinar was a pragmatic introduction to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy and how to engage with it in your instructional practice.

This keynote presentation was one of the first I ever gave at a conference at UC Berkeley that attracted librarians from all over central CA.
