What's "Emerging media" all about?
A monthly demonstration for library staff at the State Library and Queensland public libraries of emerging new media and technologies developed.
- Do your eyes glaze over when someone mentions Web 2.0?
- Do your wikis mashup with widgets?
- Do you get your technology advice from your kids and grandchildren?
Be amazed and discover at these new monthly sessions highlighting technologies that are being used (or have the potential to be used) by our clients and some libraries.
(The sessions are not designed to replace hands-on training workshops.)
Content
Each session will focus on a variety of new and existing technologies, including demonstrations of use (including some library implementations).
Participants are encouraged to attend sessions and to review and contribute content via this wiki.
Challenges
