[Ann Treacy]

"And Now for Something Completely Different" brain food sampler series from
ASIS&T
Tuesday November 15th 5:00-6:30 
Two Tool Cool Online Tools for Retail Demographics and B2B Targeting by
Denise Cumming 

Sorry for the late notice and change of regular time. We wanted to avoid
having a program on Election Day. I am delighted to report that Denise
Cumming will be coming on November 15 to talk about two cool tools: ESRI
(http://www.esribis.com/) and ZapData.com (http://www.zapdata.com/). These
are two tools that give great info related to zip code demographics and are
useful, accessible, and affordable to small businesses.

 

Denise has worked with small businesses at Teltech, Minnesota Technology
Inc, and as a freelancer for many years. She is a master online searcher and
is going to be working on a case study of these tools for the ASIST talk.
(Given the nature of the talk I may invite some business owners to join us -
and of course you're welcome to do that too.)

 

Please note the venue is the College of St. Catherine, Centers for
Excellence, 2nd floor of the Coeur de Catherine.

The entrance to the parking lot is off Fairview Ave just beyond Randolph.
(Parking should be pretty good as the meeting is scheduled between day and
evening classes.)

The goal of our speaker series is to showcase different information-related
jobs and topics. The target audience is twofold: folks who are scoping out
potential careers and folks who want to stay up on things in case someone at
work asks and/or they are expected to become (or know) an expert in a given
area.

The format is informal, roundtable discussion. We will ask each speaker to
spend 30 minutes.  Then we'll open it up for questions from attendees.

Here are the details:

Date & Time: 5:00 - 6:30 Tuesday November 15th (speaker starts at 5:30)

Place: Centers of Excellence, 2nd Floor of the Coeur de Catherine.

RSVP: please send us a note if you will be coming atreacy at treacyinfo.com.
It is not necessary, but really helps us have enough snacks. Students you
are welcome to come before your classes or during a break - if you plan to
snack with us please RSVP.

Cost: None - in fact ASIS&T brings the snacks.

Please feel free to forward this email!!
