Crossing the Chasm: from Cutting Edge to Practical Application


[shameless self-promotion] I’m going to speak at the Capital District Library Council in Albany about practical applications of emerging technologies on April 24. I’ll review some of LITA’s Top Technology Trends, discuss blogs (applications for libraries and for patrons) & wikis, and provide some tips on how to stay current with all of this.

All are welcome!
