South Bend, IN – It was standing room only in the St. Joseph County Public Library Training Room for a library staff day breakout presentation by Aaron Schmidt entitled 20 Gadgets in 20 Minutes as the room filled with over 40 folks eager to find out about hot new gadgets and implications for library use. Flickr! XBox360! Index cards! All were covered. The presentation was attended by staff from all areas of the library and FIVE ADMINSTRATORS! Just got to say: Hot X 3! Thanks Aaron!

From the new Information Today (May 2005), a piece called “In the Beginning, there was Content” that features some cool folks discussing presence and the Web — as well as adapting to the rapid pace of change in our professional lives.
