Here’s my second presentation from NLA/NEMA 2007. (I’m posting it early as I know what my post-presentation schedule is going to be and if I don’t post it now, it might never show up.)

Michael has been training librarians in technology for the past twenty years and has also been a public library trustee, a bookstore manager for a library friends group, a reference librarian, serials cataloger, technology consultant, and bookseller since earning his MLS in 1995 from the University at Albany’s School of Information Science and Policy. Michael has also written dozens of articles for various journals and magazines and his fourteenth book, Emerging Technologies: A Primer for Librarians (w/ Jennifer Koerber) was published in May 2015 and more books are on the way. In his spare time he blogs at travelinlibrarian.info, runs The Collector’s Guide to Dean Koontz Web site, takes many, many photos, and typically reads more than 100 books a year.

Great presentation. Really gets the perspective of the average book lover. I liked the ebook curmedgeon part.
You should update it to include the 505. It has even more features. Better screen, more battery life, more storage, it can play music at the same time. You can take it in the tub, you just need a ziplock bag over it. If you look at the teleread blog, they dispel that myth. It’s not like you should take a book in the tub, you would get it wet and potentially destroy it.
Slides 45-47 cover the 505.
How did you get Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?!?
Uh…. I didn’t. Don’t believe everything you see on that screen.
