Like William, I am an introvert, and I appreciate your straight-forward do’s and don’t for networking. I will use this article with my students, and plan to continue following your blog.
Best,
Cheryl

Bravo… Loved the article. I always teach folks to move about the cabin at events…Don’t stay glued to the bar,cell phone..or in a chain gang with the same old folks they known for years.
Best regards,
Patricia

Sometimes I ask if the person I’m speaking with has been following a given discussion on the society’s list serv. Sometimes that works really well. It doesn’t if the person doesn’t have time to read it. The old-fashioned “Have you finished any new books you’d recommend?” usually works. Also asking if they attended the last conference of the same society and what they really liked about it is a good way to go as well.

Nice job.

I’ve been networking for over 40 years at library conferences. One of the best conversation starters is to look at the person’s name tag and say that you’ve always been curious about what it’s like to live in [name of the city or state.] The question is quite neutral and one that the person should be able to answer without much thought.
