Technology Petting Zoo

Finding time to experiment with the newest technology can be challenging. Add to that the varying degree of unease that can come with having to learn a new technology in order to keep up with patrons’ expectations. Nothing helps more than having an opportunity to spend one-on-one time with someone familiar with smartphones, tablets and more. Attendees will have an opportunity to try the latest in electronic tools and software applications. Vendors and colleagues will offer hands-on demonstrations of products and services that can benefit special collections libraries and archives. Come test these technological tools and see what they can do for your collections and services!
