Tinkering in the Techie Toybox: Staying on Top of Consumer Technology Date : Nov 14, 2008
Start Time: 11 a.m. Eastern
Length: 1 hour

Do you have patrons asking if their MP3 players will work with your digital book collection? Trying to plug their digital cameras into your public computers to upload photos to Facebook? If so, you just might need a Techie Toybox.

David explains what a techie toybox is, shares what's in Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library's toybox, and explains how these "toys" can be used for staff education, keeping up-to-date with technology, and even reaching out into your library's community.
