Library Camp @ Syracuse, part 2

The final breakout session of the afternoon for me was "Implementing & Using Technology" with 10 participants. Mark Costa was the host and Bradley Shipps was the scribe. We talked about the breadth of technology that is used by -- or under the preview -- of a library including computers, TVs, projectors, MP3 players, etc. While we and our users must be aware of the technology, our goal is the use of content. We talked about the smart house and other places were technology is available yet not the focus.

"We like the technicians in the garage." We, unfortunately, need to be able to troubleshoot, select the correct technology for our patrons, etc.

Now the final session -- the wrap-up or Reporting Session -- is going on. Every host is going through three things that stood out from each session.

This has been a wonderful day! There has been lots of conversation and many ideas exchanged. Tonight there is a session on gaming (board and electronic), then tomorrow is the Collection Development Conference.
