Target Audience: Librarians who want to become more comfortable with technology and learn about easily adoptable tools that can be used to improve library websites, marketing, services, or instruction sessions
Learning Outcomes:
1) Participants will be able to identify and compare technologies that libraries across the country have implemented to improve library services.
2) Participants will be able to select and implement technologies appropriate to their libraries.
It can be hard to keep up with the constant changes in the world of information technology, tools, gadgets, and apps. During this session, visit stations of tech-savvy librarians who will perform short demos of a myriad of available technologies that they have implemented in libraries of all kinds and sizes. There are tools to help with marketing, sharing information, citation, personal productivity, research, and teaching. These emerging technologies come in the shape of browser add-ons, software, mobile apps, and web 2.0 tools.
