Koerber and Sauers look at a variety of technologies currently having an impact on libraries and library service - from pervasive mobile connectivity to crowdfunding to smart homes - and some of the privacy and security issues surrounding them. At the end, they'll present a checklist of ways to keep on top of current trends and to anticipate what's coming next.
Managing the Device Deluge: Training & Supporting StaffJennifer Koerber
Librarians have always taught the public how to use the tools that serve their information needs, but now there's an ever-changing variety of devices that patrons use to access our services. How do we train and support staff to keep up with the diversity of gadgets? Based on my recent Library Journal article, "Managing the Device Deluge," June 1, 2015
Keeping Up with Emerging Technologies - Cybertour at CiL2014Jennifer Koerber
Library staff face a constant stream of new technologies to explore and evaluate. Get a refresher on how to learn a new technology or tool, and how to take what you’ve learned and pass it on to the public and other staff.
Emerging Technologies for Librarians: Keeping Up & Staying FreshJennifer Koerber
When technology changes at an explosive pace, how can librarians stay on top of what might be the next device to walk through the school doors? Jennifer Koerber will focus on 3-5 emerging technologies, their place in libraries, and how to stay on top of what’s coming next as a part of evolving ourselves as librarians. Participants will brainstorm ways to evolve all their strengths, skills and interests into the next big thing.

Hacking the Librarian: Evolving Personal & Career DevelopmentJennifer Koerber
It's old news that librarianship is changing as a profession, and we understand that library professionals need to change with it. But how? How do you learn to see yourself 5, 10, or 20 years down the line when we have no idea what's coming next spring? Learn from someone who has bootstrapped herself from a tech-nervous newbie to a code-savvy web librarian over the last 20 years, and brainstorm ways to evolve all your strengths, skills and interests into your next big thing.

44CON 2104 - Lessons Learned from Black Hat's Infrastructure, Conan Dooley
Let’s take a quick trip across the sea to the halls of Black Hat. What made the training network tick? How was it created, who was attacking the network, and how was it defended? How do you keep the wired training network up and reliable when you have nearly two thousand people hammering on it? What tricks kept the wireless running for all those tweets?
This training developed for The Literacy Cooperative of Greater Cleveland. It will:
Whet your appetite for using technology and media in your literacy program.
Ask you to select at least one awesome tech learning object.
Provide time and a template to create a integration plan to use your chosen tech learning object right away.
A survival guide for UX in complex environmentsPaula de Matos
As a UX practitioner working in complex environments you have to be flexible, since commonly used user-centred design techniques may not work. In this session, we provide insights into how you can approach UX problems in complex fields with confidence.
With concrete examples from our experience of designing services for life scientists, we describe approaches you can use to characterise specialist users, and translate their requirements into successful designs. In the hands-on activity, you will experiment with our unique (and recently published) ‘canvas sort’ technique, for prioritising large numbers of data items and modelling their interactions.
So if you work in UX in a complex environment - such as in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, engineering, technology, finance, or others - join us to learn how to survive when things get complicated!

CSTA2015 Blocks-based Programming: Toolboxes for Many OccasionsJosh Sheldon
An overview of 4 blocks-based programming environments from MIT's Center for Mobile Learning, specifically GameBlox, TaleBlazer, and StarLogo Nova from the Scheller Teacher Education Program & Education Arcade and MIT App Inventor from the eponymous group.
Libraries have been places of discovery and learning for a long time, but they are now taking it a step further, thanks to the makerspace movement, by providing an initial spark for ideas that may grow into an intellectual flame down the road. A makerspace is a collaborative learning environment where people of all ages and with common interests (e.g., science, technology, engineering, arts, and math — STEAM) can meet, socialize and/or collaborate while sharing innovative ideas and learning new skills. People can now visit their local library makerspace and gain hands-on experiences with emerging technologies that they probably do not have access to otherwise. Lifelong learning is a vital component for the continued success of libraries and makerspaces are just another aspect helping to make all this happen. In this webinar,
+ Learn how to create a library makerspace on little to no budget.
+ Discover the process/resources used to maintain an engaging makerspace that will thrive for many years.
+ Understand wholeheartedly that the library makerspace is a perfect place to share emerging technologies with patrons, so that they can become well-informed citizens and responsible users of technology.
+ Gain an appreciation as to what other libraries are doing in this new exciting space.
+ Acquire numerous programming ideas to help foster creativity and learning.
+ Survey the emerging technology landscape for new learning prospects to include in your makerspace.
+ Create a growing “Rolodex” of opportunities for partnerships to help boost your makerspace outreach.

Living in the Future: Libraries Supporting the Next Wave of Cultural EvolutionJennifer Koerber
A presentation I gave at the New England Library Association - IT Section - Spring conference in June of 2012. Inspired by a talk by Michael Edson at Computers in Libraries 2012, I thought hard about the science fiction present we find ourselves in, the science fiction future we'll get to next, and how libraries can position themselves well between the two points in time.
