What a novel idea! We don't want to force the technology on staff, but why should that keep those of us who are interested in the technology from providing those services. What a great concept.

I tried out a lot of 2.0ish stuff just for fun at first, and when the natural progression came to me, where I discovered how I could apply these tools to work, it was a very exciting aha! moment. Librarians need to just give it time, and they will see the light. I love that you said “Do not try to apply it to work…yet”.

I have to selective about what new web technology that I learn, and I have a very limited window in which to learn it. You are going to love this I don’t have time either!

Thanks Giving people listening a bit of confidence is *just* what I was trying to do...Sometimes when I talk about new tech I worry that I just scare people into paralysis by raving on about all these fantastic tools when they have other priorities (rightly so) :) Bel, that’s got to be one of the best comments I’ve ever received on my blog…it’s really encouraging when people who have been in the audience say stuff like that.

I wanted to say so on the day but things were a little crowded afterwards. This is exactly the type of knowledge that I have been looking for and it gives me confidence to be a bit more adventurous in my approach to EmTech. Thank you for this presentation.
