[Libs-Or] New DVDs at OSL: Mobile Technology and Focus on Reference

[Jennifer Maurer]

The College of DuPage sponsors a library webcast series, and this year's theme is Library Futures: Staying Ahead of the Curve.  Two archived webinars are now available to check out from the State Library as DVDs:  Libraries & the Mobile Technology Landscape and Redesigning Today's Public Services: Focus on Reference.  The webcasts were made available free of charge to staff from Oregon libraries through a statewide membership to BCR (now Lyrasis), paid for by the Oregon State Library with LSTA funds.  Running time for each DVD is 90 minutes.

Descriptions from the College of DuPage Press<http://www.dupagepress.com/no_cache/library-learning-network/technology-trends-in-libraries-tools-skills-staffing-training/?sword_list%5b%5d=libraries>
Libraries & the Mobile Technology Landscape (broadcast 9/24/10):  "Joe Murphy will provide an overview of the emerging landscape of information engagement through mobile technology. He will introduce the major mobile technologies and outline their usage as well as the cultural shifts that accompany their introduction into information society. Joe will lead us through an exploration of the opportunities for libraries to implement mobile technologies to enhance or supplement traditional services and collections, and will explain how libraries can most strategically engage these tools as well as the mobile culture. We will discuss the real world changes this means for libraries and the new skills we may have to learn in this evolution. At the conclusion of this session we will all be familiar with how to best meet this shift towards mobile technologies in our libraries."

Redesigning Today's Public Services: Focus on Reference (broadcast 11/12/10): "Marie Radford, Ph.D., just back from Reference Renaissance 2010 in Denver, Colorado, and co-editor of Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends, will talk with you about re-designing library public services, focusing on reference.  The program will explore how reference services are evolving by incorporating new technologies, modes of delivery, and new staffing models.  And how do we assess this new style of reference service? Marie Radford, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey's School of Communication & Information and a leading library consultant."
