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

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.
a few summaries of my talks
Jeff Pomerantz and Paul Jones have put up notes about my talk. I get back to Vermont tonight.
my talk, unc 3/21
Both talks went well today. One was in the morning to an undergraduate information science class. High point: mentioning something about gopher sites and realizing that the students in the class were 7 years old when gopher was popular. The afternoon talk was larger, maybe 50 people, and may be available in streaming video one of these days. You can read all the notes from my talk here.
out of town
I’m out of town until Tuesday. Anyone in the Raleigh/Durham area feel free to come to my talk Monday at 2 pm at UNC, details here.
