10 Things I Learned in London at Internet Librarian International It’s a sweet thing to drink breakfast tea in my room, lounging in my hotel dressing gown, reading the proceedings and planning for the day. Technology training issues are the same for trainer/librarians everywhere – from issues about retention of material to support for training programs by administrators! Talking with Rob was illuminating and made me realize public librarians in the Netherlands are lucky to have him doing training! According to Sullivan: personalization and “invisible tabs” may be the wave of the future for search engines…and after hearing Frank Cervone […]
