Watch the video to see how you can participate in this TEDx event now!
Please upload your videos to YouTube, including your name and location, and send the link to videos(AT)tedxlibrarians.com. We will link to all the videos from our YouTube Channel and post a selection of the best on our website.
If you don’t want to make a video, please feel free to blog or tweet your thoughts and pass the links along to us at the email address above. We will do our best to link to these as well. You can also just add a comment below.
Please get your videos to us before June 25.
If you choose to participate, we kindly ask that you please be respectful of the difference between the TED and TEDx brands. The following points are important to remember:
1) It’s a TEDx event — not TED: Don’t say “TED is coming to… .” Don’t say the event is “organized by TED,” “sponsored by TED” or an “official TED event” or use the TED or generic TEDx logo.
2) If you require information about TED or TEDx, please use the information on our website’s “About TEDx” page.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Only one day to go! We are really excited to meet everyone tomorrow and encourage those not attending the event to keep the conversation going here on the site. We will be reporting back on the day and have more videos coming. Stay tuned!
Question 1: What means should librarians choose to encourage their institutions to embrace change?
Just one question today, as we thought this one might produce some long responses!
Question 1: What are the similarities or characteristics of thought leaders that you know? Tell us about the attributes that your ideal thought leader would have.
Thanks again to everyone leaving comments or responding to the questions on their blogs. If you have a question about thought leadership you would like to see featured here, please send it to our team [Email address: team #AT# tedxlibrarians.com - replace #AT# with @ ].
Question 1: How can experience of failure contribute to making an effective thought leader?
Question 2: What venues are available to us to constructively criticize each others ideas?
Thanks to everyone who posted comments yesterday! Feel free to respond to the questions from any day and keep the conversation moving. For those attending the event, we will be continuing the conversations started right here on the day.
Today’s questions are:
Question 1: What should we expect/demand of our thought leaders?
Question 2: We can’t all be thought leaders all the time. Often, by necessity we are followers. So, what does it mean to follow a thought leader well?
