Join your colleagues on Thursday, August 12 to celebrate the recent opening of Temple University’s Ginsburg Library, a brand new health sciences library in an architecturally stunning space. Come for the morning CE class, “Geeks Bearing Gifts”. In tech time it’s been ages since Gregg last taught this for our chapter so if you attended in November 2008 it’s time for an update! Both events are FREE to members; the reception is $10 for non-members.

I’m attending the “Geeks” class right now. We’re having a lot of interesting discussions about social media–Facebook in particular–and about the importance of having policies. Great class!
