Past Presentations
MPLA 2008 Conference
- Office 2.0
- Office 2.0 Be productive, create and collaborate with nothing more than an internet browser.
This is not your typical Web 2.0 presentation. The presentation will not be covering wikis, blogs, rss, and social networking. You've already heard about that.
Instead this presentation will focus new online technologies geared toward creativity, productivity, and collaboration. All you need is a browser and an internet connection to do all your work, provide incredible tools for your patrons, conduct meetings, collaborate, and create.
The presentation will cover a small set (as there is too much out there) of Office 2.0 tools you, your library, and patrons can use today for free. 8:30-9:20, Thursday, 01 May 2008

- Integrating the Library into the Course Management System
-
“The library no longer will live outside the CMS. Instead, the CMSwill serve as a door to the library."
Pyatt and Snavely (2004)
Where are the Students?
The Millennial student retrieves information from five primary sources: Google, social networks, mobile devices, peers, and the campus course management system (CMS). This presentation will discuss the roles and functions of each of these sources in the context of higher education.
Where should the library be in all this?
The presentation will explore how each of the primary information sources presents a unique set of benefits and limitations when creating a library presence and will focus on the CMS. 1:30-2:20, Wednesday, 30 April 2008
