Mark Your Calendars
March 22nd, 2005If you are in the New England Region and want to learn more about social software and how it can be implemented into the library environment, get over to Providence College on May 3rd. The program is titled, Syndicate, Aggregate, Communicate: New Web Tools in Real Applications for Libraries, Companies and Regular Folk:
“2005 opens with an avalanche of new and maturing technologies. Free tools currently available can be configured and integrated to radically improve communication and simplify information retrieval, storage and sharing. These technologies, however, are currently being developed and presented incrementally and individually, and it is up to the user to keep track, download, install, configure, integrate, learn and determine which combinations will best serve a given individual, project, or organization.”
“NEASIST is pleased to present another timely event designed to make sense of this frenzy of technology and turn the chaos into practical tools for harnessing information and connecting people. Three recognized, early-adopter, information specialists have been exploring and experimenting with these tools in different environments.”
Three great speakers are on tap: Megan Fox, Jenny Levine, and Michael Stephens. (link via Beyond the Job)
