Additional registration required.
This face-to-face course is designed to give the busy librarian an overview of emerged and emerging technologies impacting our profession. It is a survey course that will cover a variety of technology topics similar to MLA's annual Tech Trends panel. Topics discussed will be updated until the month prior to the teaching of course but could include: makerspaces, augmented reality, wearable technology, fitness apps, the Internet of Things, library mobile apps, privacy, ambient intelligence, virtual reality, and collaboration tools. Students, health professionals, and consumers use technologies to interact with health information daily. It is essential for librarians to investigate and experiment with these technologies to improve access to timely and relevant quality health information.
