Greetings from the Villanova Tech Trifecta Superfecta Team,
Falvey Memorial Library at Villanova University is once again proud to announce
a series of events, nicknamed the Tech Superfecta, taking place during the week
of October 14th, 2013. The now four conferences making up the Tech Superfecta
week include:
* VuFind Summit 2013<http://vufind.org/wiki/vufind_summit_2013> (Oct 14th
and 15th) -- The follow-up to 2012's VuFind 2.0 discussions and unveiling, this
event will include detailed discussion of the new release and opportunities to
network with other VuFind users, along with new workshops and roundtables for
both VuFind veterans and those new to the software.
* Code4Lib Mid-Atlantic
2013<http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Code4lib_Mid-Atlantic> (Oct 16th) --
Code4Lib is a volunteer-driven collective of hackers, designers, architects,
curators, catalogers, artists and instigators from around the world, who
largely work for and with libraries, archives and museums on technology
"stuff." With mostly-regular monthly meetings, Villanova is volunteering to
take the October meeting spot for the big
Six-Months-from-the-National-Conference meet-up day.
* VuStuff IV<http://vustuff.org/> (Oct 17th) -- VuStuff is an annual
conference on the intersections between technology and scholarly communication
that takes place every Fall at Villanova University's Falvey Memorial Library.
This year's conference, VuStuff IV, will seek presentations from regional
librarians on technology and scholarly communication in their respective
libraries. We hope to foster an ongoing conversation among regional libraries,
in order to further the development of technology in service of scholarly
communication.
* VuClass (Oct 18th) - This year, we're adding an extra day of workshops to
the end of the texh trifecta week. In the morning, Joanne Quinn, Design
Specialist at Falvey Library will be teaching a workshop on Graphic Design for
beginners, and in the afternoon Demian Katz and David Uspal, Tech Developers at
Falvey Library will be doing a workshop entitled "Programming 001", designed to
teach non-technical people the basics of programming and to help understand
technology terminology.
If you haven't already signed up for this year's event, I encourage you to do
so soon as possible, since space is once again limited (especially for the
VuClass workshops). For details or to register for this year's events, follow
the links above or head to:

As well, we're still accepting proposals for talks at three of the events.
