invites you to this discussion session:

Evaluating Emerging Technologies
Saturday, January 12, 2008
Philadelphia Convention Center (PCC), Room 108A
1:30-3:30 p.m.
 
As librarians, we need to keep pace with the innovations that are
transforming how we reach and serve our customers. But with the vast number
of competing technologies, how can you be confident that you are selecting
the best solution for your customers? How are you certain that you are not
squandering your limited finances and resources on fads and faulty
solutions?
 
Aaron Swartz, co-author of RSS, co-creator of the Open Library project,
co-founder of Reddit, and former adviser to Creative Commons, will be
sharing his strategies on how to analyze competing technologies. His
insights will help us invest in the resources that will best meet our
customers' needs.
 
This is an opportunity to listen to a leader in the field and to engage in a
dialog with him. Come explore this discussion on emerging technologies. You
can't afford to miss it!
