When we had to decide the topic for the May Tech Summit, it was a close call. I originally went with podcasting, but then became so excited about gaming in libraries that I switched subjects right before we sent out the flyers.

So that means September's Tech Summit will be on podcasting. :)

MLS Tech Summit: Podcasting
Thursday, September 22, 2005
1:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
MLS Burr Ridge office
"What is podcasting, and does it involve aliens from outer space? No! Podcasting is a great new way to syndicate audio and video content via free subscriptions online. Podcasting is great for commuters, exercisers, and others who want to listen to interesting shows, interviews, reviews, and more. Technically, all you need is a computer connected to the Internet, but podcasts become even more valuable when you have an MP3 player. Can podcasting help you personally? Should your library be thinking about podcasting? Come to this tech summit to find out!

Plus, if you've never had the chance to play with an iPod, we'll have a couple on hand so you can see what all the fuss is about!"

We'll also do a repeat presentation at our Chicago office on Tuesday, October 18, at 1:30 p.m.
