Millennials in the Library Teleconference
MCTC LIT Program | |
| Minneapolis Community and Technical College, Room S3420 1501 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55403 US |
When: | Friday, November 13, 10:45AM to 1:00PM |

The Millennial Generation, Generation Y, Echo Boomers, Digital Natives, and the Trophy Generation are all terms used to describe people born in the United States between the early 1980s and the early 1990s. They have been shaped by a heady mix of culture, politics, and technology. "Millennials" have had an unprecedented exposure to mass media, pop culture, instant communication, and cultural freedom woven together by a complex technological net. It is daunting to try to classify a group of over 70 million people easily. Our teleconference will seek to add nuance to these classifications to help us understand them more fully and answer the questions: Who are Millennials? How can our libraries better serve them as patrons, students, and staff? SpeakerJennifer Kushell Fee
10:45 - 11 am - Check-in, Welcome 11 am - 12:30 pm - Teleconference 12:30 - 1 pm - Facilitated on-site discussion |
