I recently held a meeting that had the purpose of generating ideas on how to improve the work of the Regional Medical Library I am part of - how to work better with community groups and develop programs to meet their needs. To do this, I turned to "Café to Go" and found it a very useful tool. http://www.theworldcafe.com/cafetogo.pdf (More at http://www.theworldcafe.com/index2.html ) DDN member Teresa Hartman http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/thartman assisted me in the planning and facilitation of this meeting, along with another medical librarian who is heavily involved in community outreach. I found that the planning process of Café to Go made all the difference in how this meeting went compared to a previous meeting I held with this group. We ended up having a small group, and so did not follow the exact steps of the process, which is developed for larger groups (at least 12), but the conversation was amazing. Ideas galore came from the group. And everyone stayed longe! r than I expected, and all said how glad they were to come. I felt like it was a huge success, and am happy to share this process with you!
