If you’re attending PLA next week, please look for me at the SJSU SLIS Exhibit Space at Booth 2100. I’m doing a short presentation: Dr. Michael Stephens Thursday, March 15 3:00 pm–3:30 pm & Friday, March 16 11:30 am–12:00 pm Hyperlinked Libraries: Emerging Tech & Emerging Trends: What trends and technologies are impacting public library service? What does the evolution of library physical and virtual space look like? This presentation explores the hyperlinked library model through a lens of participatory service, transparency and emerging technologies. I’m happy to chat with anyone about our programs and opportunities for learning.

Greetings from California! I’m out for SJSU SLIS Faculty Retreat next week but today found me on the lovely campus of Dominican University of California. I spoke today at a faculty workshop, presenting an updated and expanded version of “The Hyperlinked Campus” with an emphasis on emerging technologies for teaching and learning. The discussion and interaction was wonderful. AND a big shout out to the DUCA librarians who attended! The slides are here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/239835/HyperlinkedCampusDomCA.pdf

I’m very excited to be leading a faculty development workshop at Dominican University of California 🙂 on February 24th.

I have an invited contribution in the new issue of SJSU SLIS Student Research Journal: http://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/slissrj/vol1/iss2/2/ I recently participated in a meeting convened at the Salzburg Global Seminar in Austria.
