Live from MLA in Ocean City, MD its Annette!!

Annette has been asked by our state library training liaison to blog the upcoming Maryland Library Association Conference from Ocean City May 2-4th.

Annette will be posting workshop reviews and I am sure a key thought or three from the conference.

The blog can be found here Nette at MLA 2007

Let her know how you like it.

UPDATE: She has her put up her first blog post from the conference!!

Tech Fair registration is ready for business!

The Harford County Public Library Technology Fair is coming!

On the first two Wednesdays in June HCPL will be hosting a Technology Fair to expose staff to some of the newest technology. Attendance is mandatory for full and part time staff; subs and pages should do their best as branch and personal schedules allow. We also hope that attending this kickoff event will encourage staff to sign up for Maryland Libraries 2.0, a statewide technology learning initiative. More on that later via internal email.

The following 8 sessions are available:

Wednesday, June 6 (Bel Air) 2 pm – 5 pm
8 am – 11 am
10 am – 1 pm
12 pm – 3 pm
2 pm – 5 pm

Wednesday, June 13th (Abingdon)
8 am – 11 am
10 am – 1 pm
12 pm – 3 pm
2 pm – 5 pm

I realize you see overlaps, but during the first hour you will attend an overview presentation, and then visit six demos for the second two hours. That allows us to present the overview to the second group while the first is still busy. Complicated, but ingenious!
