talks I’ve given
I like to give talks on the intersection of libraries, technology and politics. Specifically…
- Rural issues such as rural library tech and the digital divide
- Policy issues such as CIPA, privacy, and legislation around social software.
- The 2.0 environment such as social software, library implementation of 2.0 tech and “Why do I care about 2.0?”
- Open source software such as Firefox and Open Source OPACs
I enjoy public speaking and I’ve been told I do a good job at it. If you would like me to give a talk, please don’t hesistate to read more about what I do, read my faq, or get in touch with me.
