Geeks Bearing Gifts: Unwrapping new technology trends
(23 seats available)
Thursday, November 13th, 1-5 PM
Hahnemann Library, Drexel University, 245 N. 15th St. Philadelphia, PA 19102
This class is intended to provide a fun, fast-paced, and informative introduction to and update on today’s hottest technology trends. Program participants will be able to identify technology trends and they will understand how these trends will impact or can be integrated into traditional library services. Content will be presented with a “can-do” focus intended to encourage participants to investigate at least one technology for implementation in their institution. Course structure will include brief vignettes and demonstrations of a wide variety of technologies. Some of the topics to be covered include instant messaging, podcasting, open source software, spyware and other malware, developments in mobile computing, blogs and wikis, radio-frequency identification, and more.

Register by April 17 for the SLA Philly Chapter’s CE Open Source for Libraries: All Grown Up, presented by Nicole Engard, Open Source Evangelist at LibLime.
Description: “Open Source” - a term you may have heard thrown about at conferences and on mailing lists - but what does it mean? This session will not only define the term “Open Source” but will show librarians exactly how it can be used within their libraries. Learn to separate the myths from the facts, learn about the tools that are available to your libraries and most importantly learn about how open source can free you from the costs associated with many proprietary library products. This session will cover open source alternatives to popular products used in libraries, including, but not limited to an office suite, instant messaging, ILS and web browser.
Okay, I missed the deadline for the MLA’s web2.0 101 class, but Rachel Resnick didn’t. She’s signed up and turned in her first assignment:

Step 4: How do you think you could use RSS feeds at your library? How do you think patrons could use RSS feeds? Write a brief response on your blog.
I currently use them to keep up with various types of weblogs and webpages (via Page2RSS) regarding issues to my place of employment; once I find them, I either then email the links to the people who would be interested in them, and/or save them to a Furl account; I’m hoping this course will give me additional options.
Anyone else taking the class?
[Update] Follow along at the course blog where students are reflecting on how this will be useful in their professional life.
