So I gave my presentation on Emerging Technologies to the Capital District Library Council on Monday. It was entitled "Crossing the Chasm" and offered a brief introduction to many tech trends -n- buzzwords that librarians hear about but may not know how to apply to library-land.

Thanks to all who attended & gave me some great ideas!
