One of the big topics in the chat after my talk was IM in libraries. Anyone from NJLA who is reading this, you will love what Michael Stephens has been working on: a training module for using IM in public libraries. Great timing.
NJLA talk: Ten Tech Tools
I had a really nice large audience for my talk today at NJLA. We had some lively discussion in the informal tech talk afterwards and I learned some things myself. Here is the link to my talk from today: Ten Tech Tools for Librarians: making technology work for your library not vice versa
Mary Minow’s talks at NJLA
Mary Minow was also at NJLA and she has put her four presentations up on the LibraryLaw Blog which I am spending some time reading this evening. I’m especially enjoying her talk on the legality of copying graphics for use on web pages.
Librarian Eye for the Tech Buy
I had a great time speaking at Marlboro College and meeting the librarians, students and other folks that came out for the evening. What a nice bunch of happy engaging people! The slides for my talk Librarian Eye for the Tech Buy: thinking about technology and libraries and Vermont all at once are online [HTML format, whee!]. They’re pretty similar to the slides for my UNC talk but, not suprisingly, the talk was a lot different. I’m heading down to New Jersey to give a Ten Tech Tips type talk.
who says bloggers don’t make money?
Now that Library Stuff is published by Information Today, I noticed it has a rate sheet up.
