Are you doing something innovative or interesting at your library? Let’s talk.
I’m currently doing a monthly online session for the Nebraska Library Commission’s NCompass Live series titled “Tech Talk with Michael.” In each session I’ve interviewed another librarian that’s doing something technologically interesting or innovative in their library. So far I’ve done interviews with the library in New York that’s circulating GPS devices, a two libraries here in Nebraska, one with a photo printing Kiosk, and another that’s using OpenDNS to filter their Net connection.
I’m looking for more folks to interview. Each interview lasts about 30 minutes and includes time for questions from the audience. The show is recorded and archived for later viewing online and for listening via the Commission’s podcast. If you’d like an opportunity to show off what’ you’re library’s doing, just drop me a line and we’ll get something scheduled.
