[Penny O'Connor]

Everyone,

See the new science building at John Carroll University! Hear some super
speakers! This should be a great meeting. Sorry for the short notice. It was
originally planned for a different venue. Last minute change prompts this
last-minute notice!

Our evening begins as David Ewing takes us on a special tour of the new
Dolan Center for Science and Technology, and then opens the evening's
meeting by talking about the marriage of mission and planning to enhance
information sharing and teaching. We'll have an inside track on an exciting
new space, with an expert to guide us!


"...it is live, fascinating instruction." "Movies make it easier to learn."
Find out just when those words were printed (long before we were born) and
why you,too, can become addicted to watching science videos! James Barker
talks about 'addictive learning' in his newest project to use video in a
meaningful way, and to apply metadata strategies to make searching more
intuitive. Jim tells us what works, what should have but didn't, what's
next, and where else the project would work best. Jim's expertise is from
business and academe, and he has been an invited presenter at SLA Annual
Conferences. Formerly the Interim Vice President of Information Technology
Services, Jim has a wealth of stories about project expectations past and
future--expect him to share news bites of other projects he's working on, as
well.


A SLA Internet guru, Diane  Kovacs hears about all of those "out there"
tools years before others do, and she applies them. This is our newest
meeting feature--a "mind break," where she'll share and show the best/most
productive of today's technologies, in small doses you can use immediately.
This feature will appear regularly (ideally one item at each meeting) and is
guaranteed to have you dashing back to your computer to try out the latest
one! (Trust me, I've sen and used the next one.) You never know when  she'll
open a meeting, be the "intermission segment" or close the meeting, so make
sure you're in the audience so you don't miss out!

reality, and fun.
