Someone slipped me a note late at night during the EAHIL2010 Gala Dinner.
She added: "That's what I do when I wake-up at 05.00 in the morning and can't sleep. I make lists"
(I might have gotten the time wrong ..., like I said, it was late at night ...)
She probably thought: "Well, if Eirik can get things on the agenda talking in the gents... , maybe this works as well"
This is what she suggests or would like to see at/for future EAHIL Conferences & Workshops:
- Avoiding Powerpoint in Presentations.
- Give us Alternative programs & examples please
(Some fast temp answers: Try Prezi or another alternative) - Creating digital instruction videos
- Netvibes Advanced clinic.
- Further development of skills and knowledge about how to use it.
(Some fast temp answers: You know how to hire me! :-) - How to start your own blog
(Some fast temp answers: Have a look at this Medical Library version of 23 Things) - Security
- effective passwords & management
- what to look out for in Web 2.0, awareness on security
(Some fast temp answers: Try Sxipper or LastPass) - E-Books
- examples
- costs
- comparison of products
(Some fast temp answers: comparison of formats and of readers) - 10 things to do with your mobile phone(Some fast temp answers: here is a start info doc about Mobile & Libraries)
- Pharmaceutical libraries
- what are they
- how are they different
(Some fast answer: I don't know much about "pharma-libs", but liked this presentation) - iPod, iPhone & iPad Apps
- bring your own
- Copyright Update /Refresher
- what are the rules
- Moodle Workshop
- Linkstorming session using Twitter
- collect apps that deal with topics ie. videos, medical images ...etc
Do WE Have a MESH for Web 2.0? - Best Programs that teach you 10 finger typing FAST
- Reviews & highlights of other conferences
- EAHIL Website: Book recommendations by Topic, from lectures etc.
I will make sure the next EAHIL Workshop & Conference Organizers will get this short list.
Please fill in your answers by commenting, or even add NEW items on the EAHIL Wish List (EWL!)

I cannot quite get the first one - why should the tool mean more than the content? Would someone really prefer a non-content Prezi presentation to a ppt that supports someone who really is presenting a good paper?
And this one is hard: "Copyright Update /Refresher - what are the rules". It was suggested to 2008 CECs but who could manage to train/teach/present this/how could it be done as long as the copyright laws differ?
I quite agree with you, but it is not so easy to replace the format of PowerPoint presentations. People are used to it. What we could do in future EAHIL workshops is to gradually start intoducing more interactive forms of learning and teaching. For instance when I worked at FAO I participated to the first UN ShareFair where PP presentations were not allowed at all. I really liked it. People were enthusiastic and enjoyed while sharing knowledge. Have a look at http://www.sharefair.net/about-share-fairs/organizing-a-share-fair/discussion-sessions/en/..... interactive corners, the knowledge tree, discussion sessions. Maybe we can get some ideas
It is a nice list. Most of the items on the wishlist can be done already. Think of the presentation workshop or the SIG for pharmaceutical libraries.
If somebody would like to discuss ie. digital video instructions, or iPad users; it is very easy nowadays to gather interested people by using twitter or some other tool, and just invite other interested people.
So for me the list is not new, but well worth reviewing for organisers of the next EAHIL meetings in Turkey and Belgium.

Hands on sessions is always a good thing, eg the
Linkstorming session using Twitter
And to work with Pad/iPhone
- apps
- ongoing projects
- discuss ideas
- form new projects togeather
