Technology Instruction in Public Libraries
by Megan Esseltine Hathaway 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hello all, I am seeking out public librarians who teach technology to patrons and are interested in meeting up with like-minded professionals to talk about -what kind of support patrons need to better participate in a tech-enabled world -best practices for teaching/supporting technology in our libraries -related issues of interest Inspired by the great work of the International Collections Librarians' Roundtable (ICLR), I am hoping to bring together librarians in the general SE-MI area who are interested in discussing these topics, collecting information for the use of those new to the task, and perhaps meeting bi-annually or so to share resources, tips, experiences, etc. If this is up your alley, please reply off-list. Cheers! Megan Hathaway Canton Public Library
