Please forward to your member libraries as you deem appropriate. Thank you very much, Naomi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- The Texas State Library invites ALL Texas library staff/volunteers/affiliates to the following continuing education event -- BEST NEW TECHNOLOGIES: KEEPING UP WITH THE STORM BROADCAST DATE AND TIME: Friday, October 27, 2006, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Central Time PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: New technologies keep coming at a rapid pace, and librarians are subject to the stress of being expected to both absorb and implement them. Is there any surprise that the challenges faced in keeping up with this storm of new technology is where the talk turns when librarians gather? Our cause for optimism is that a handful of these new technologies may actually help librarians to more effectively connect with their communities and involve community members in developing resources and content. This program will examine the challenges librarians face as we enter the world of Web 2.0. It will explore several of the newest technologies, investigate why librarians are adopting them and how they're being used, and examine sensible approaches to choosing and implementing the technology that is right for your library.
