Jay Turner, Training Manager at Gwinnett County Public Library in Georgia, is responsible for all aspects of learning and development for a staff of 300+ employees. He considers himself a lifelong student, and delights in sharing his passion for learning with anyone willing to listen (much to their chagrin!). He is a library lifer, who began working in libraries as a teen and has worn almost every conceivable public services hat since. Jay’s diversity of experience helps him develop and deliver solutions that are creative, practical, and effective. He is a self-proclaimed information and tech junkie, who gets his fix by playing in his “digital sandbox” with new tools and neat ideas to make learning more accessible, more flexible, and more fun across any medium.
Maurice Coleman is the Technical Trainer at Harford County (MD) Public Library located in the North Eastern corner of Maryland. He has more than 17 years of experience creating and delivering training programs on technology implementation, presentation and training skills, social media and community development. In 2008 he earned a Synchronous Training Design and Delivery certificate through a Maryland State Library program. He used that knowledge to help create blended learning solutions and presentations for the Maryland Learning 2.1 program, Harford County Public Library, WebJunction, the Maryland Library Association and the ALA Learning Roundtable. For his work he was named a 2010 Library Journal Mover and Shaker. He also hosts the library training and presentation podcast T is for Training.
