SL Presentations Gallore

March 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

I was invited to speak at York University by the Emerging Technologies group about SL and libraries (I threw in some education too). It was a great turn out – I was impressed by the interest and questions. Perhaps we’ll see them in SL sometime soon. In case you’d like to see what I talked about, you can check out my York Presentation.

I’ve got a bunch of other presentations coming up (the next one at Computers in Libraries) and a research leave. Lots of work ahead. I’ll share when they’re done.

Another new site has popped up around here. We now have a site for our popular reading collection – a collection that’s been a huge hit so far! The site let’s you browse by cover, write reviews, share comments and recommend new purchases. Very cool – I’m busy spreading the word to students. Check this site out for more info.
