I’ll be at SLA Annual this year teaching 1 CE workshop and giving 1 lecture on Open Source for Libraries.

CE Workshop
Saturday, 06/12/2010 1:00PM – 5:00PM
The library community is a buzz about open source software (OSS). What will it mean to our libraries? How can it save us money and time? What will open source mean to our libraries? More flexibility and freedom! Why open source; Because both the open source community and the library world live by the same rules and principles. This course will give you the facts about OSS by not only introducing you to what OSS is, how it is developed and maintained, and what it means for libraries, but also by providing attendees with a toolbox of over 50 OSS products to use in their libraries.

This workshop is for CE credit and if there aren’t enough registrants by the 27th of April it will be canceled. If you’re interested register soon!! The registration link can be found via the Conference Planner on the SLA site.

Lecture
Monday, 6/14/2010 2:00PM-3:30PM
