NEASIS&T: Dawn of the Embedded Library: Integrating Library Services into People's Trusted Networks
October 3, 2006 from 8:30 am until 4 pm
Tufts University, Medford MA
So you've got a handle on the social software stuff, what's next? How do libraries position themselves where patrons are actually looking? How can libraries put tools where patrons want them?
Join NEASIS&T for another engaging program featuring five pace-setters innovating at the edge of new library services! They will focus on examples of how and why libraries need to think beyond "marketing & advocacy" to a new level of findability, usability, and service. It is a future moving towards full integration of the library into users' daily web practices.
- Learn new integrative technologies
- Understand how they work together
- Discover opportunities for your own library
- Explore the future with speakers and colleagues during the always lively panel discussion!
OUR PACE-SETTERS:
- Nicole Hennig, Web Manager & Usability Specialist at the MIT Libraries
- Annette Bailey and Godmar Back, Creators of the LibX Firefox toolbar extension
- Tim Spalding and Abigail Blachly, Founder and Librarian of LibraryThing
