*Simmons GSLIS Continuing Education*

*Keeping Up With New Technologies, While Keeping Your Sanity*

November 1 - 30, 2009
Online
$250 (Simmons GSLIS Alumni price $200)

How often do you hear about a new web tool, or a "tech" development and
you don't have any idea what it's about? Do you sometimes wish you knew
a little more about what some of the tools do, and why you should care?
This workshop will provide some basic information on recent developments
in the "techie" world of web tools, and how to incorporate them into
your existing work. Topics will include creating your own RSS feeds for
sharing information, understanding mashups, and strategies for keeping
up in this ever-changing environment. Students will learn about the
topics through readings, online discussions and practical application of
tools, and will complete the workshop with a realistic plan for keeping
up to date with new developments in libraries and beyond. No prior
technological experience necessary -- just a willingness to learn!

Instructor: Rebekah Kilzer is currently the Emerging Technologies
Librarian at Drexel University Libraries where she works with library
staff to discover, research and implement methods for fruitful and
effective interactions with students and faculty. Her background in
Systems and Technical Services provides a well-rounded perspective on
library work. She is also an adjunct instructor at Drexel University's
iSchool, teaching in the MS/LIS program; rebekah at drexel.edu
