Geolocation, Native video, Offline storage, Semantic markup elements,
Responsive web design, Canvas elements, Voice input, Drag and Drop,
Opacity, Gradients... HTML5 (a generic term which includes new HTML
tags, enhanced CSS styles/behaviors, and new Javascript APIs) has been
released and is changing the way web developers work. With wide support
in mobile browsers and the latest browser releases from Google and
Firefox, HTML5 is poised to be the technology that will help build the
next version of the Web.
In this workshop, we'll look at some of the possibilities, trends, and
enhancements that HTML5, CSS3, and the new Javascript APIs enable. As a
workshop deliverable, we'll talk through the specifics of implementation
and work through building a prototype HTML5 application. The course will
be a mix of lecture and demos alongside hands-on exercises in building
the prototype application.

of the same name, Getting Started with GIS will provide participants
with an introduction to both the online and desktop GIS currently being
used by library administrators, librarians, library support staff and
library users. Participants will learn firsthand how to create online
maps; how to properly use maps in library Web pages; how to embed GIS
technology into library projects; and how to enjoy GIS and mapping
technologies in personal endeavors. Students will be exposed to many
online resources that are currently being used by public, academic and
special libraries across North America. No previous mapping or GIS
experience is necessary.
The three-week course will consist of a combination of asynchronous
lectures, demonstrations and hands-on tutorials.
