A presentation I gave at the 2009 CLA Emerging Technology Interest Group pre-conference at the McGill University Cybertheque library.
My general topic was the use of emerging technologies in public libraries to a mostly academic librarian audience. My approach was to compare and contrast the use of technologies by myself as a generally but not always tech-savvy librarian and my employer, RPL, generally but not always a tech-savvy library.
The day also featured presentations by John Fink and Jessamyn West and all kinds of live blogging, Twittering and post-event blogging as well:
