This workshop will explore the top social and mobile technology trends for
2012, discuss their impacts on libraries and users, and cover ways of
implementing them within our home library settings. We will focus on one
technology trend area per week, gain a thorough understanding of the key
concepts and tools, play with them in hands on activities, and learn how to
implement them with creative services and marketing initiatives.

 

Some of the topics to be covered include new messaging technologies for
reference, eContent trends, Foursquare and location aware services, content
check in services, mobile strategies, Pinterest, image sharing applications,
QR Codes, augmented Reality, Near Field Communication (NFC), 3D Printing,
gaming, mobile payments -- all with a focus on libraries within the larger
context of tech trends.

 

The workshop explores the impacts on libraries and the service opportunities
(reference, instruction, collections, marketing) presented by the most
current mobile, social, and online tools.

 

Instructor: Joe Murphy is a Librarian and Technology Trend Spotter
consultant helping libraries and more prepare for upcoming technology
shifts. Joe is an author and editor, an international keynote speaker, and a
conference organizer.
