The tech fair is Six Days AWAY!!!

Our staff seem to be energized for this fun learning opportunity.

What Type of User are You??

In the wake of Web 2.0 /We Web increased use, The Pew (Charitable Trust) Internet American Life Project conducted a survey designed to classify Americans into different groups of technology users. Makes for very interesting reading. Pew has a great reputation in the non-profit world.

Here is the link to the Publication Abstract and a link to the very quick to complete survey. In less than five minutes see who has some of the same characteristics as you do.

I classified as an Omnivore.

Surprised?

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!
