Hi, Everyone!
Last night, Jamie LaRue spoke at my ALA Student Chapter meeting. Jamie LaRue is the Director of the Douglas County Library System in Colorado and a public speaker. He has led the Douglas County System into the brave new world of the libraries acting as publisher for e-books. He details the decision making process and how it’s actually saving the library money. I thought you all might be interested in hearing him speak, so I’m posting the link on this blog. Jamie LaRue’s lecture. The lecture is about 30 minutes, the last 15 minutes or so are chapter business, so you can skip that of course!
It will open on Blackboard Collaborate, so you have to click “open” for Java and you’ll have to click “run.” The software will not harm your computer in any way and does not permanently add the program to your computer. E-mail me if you have any questions.
