In part four, we hear from Karen Schneider about her thoughts on the near-future of library technology. If you’re enjoying these podcasts, leave us a comment and let us know…we’d love to hear this is a valuable thing for our members. Plus, it will help us justify expanding our podcasting reach for Annual this summer. Thanks again to Maurice York, whose work allowed us to provide these to the LITA members.

Top Tech Trends Part 3 – Clifford Lynch
The continuing saga of the Top Tech Trends podcast continues here, with Part 3. This is Clifford Lynch relating trends as he sees them, and look out tomorrow for Karen Schneider’s discussion of what she sees coming in technology.
Top Tech Trends Part 2 – Marshall Breeding
The second section of our Top Tech Trends podcast has Marshall Breeding outlining his Trends. Once again, if you have any difficulties with the feed or the audio, please leave a comment.
Top Tech Trends
With enormous thanks to Maurice York, the first of many LITA Podcasts! There are seven segments in all for about an hour and forty-five minutes of trending goodness. For the sake of immediacy, this is pretty much the raw audio–not much editing or finessing. A more refined audio experience will be posted as we go. If you enjoy these, be on the lookout for more podcasts from the 2007 ALA Midwinter meeting from LITA. We’ll be podcasting more than just the Top Tech Trends in the upcoming days, including some video from the LITA officers, and reactions to the LITA Town Meeting. If you’ve never subscribed to a podcast before and would like some tips on how to subscribe or applications to use, post a comment to this post and I’ll go more into depth….just trying to get this up quickly for now!
LITA BIGWIG Midwinter Meeting Minutes
Would we want to put on a face to face web 2.0 thing? Give people hands on experience with stuff? Could be a good chance to get techie and non-techie people together. Facilities might be available if we can come up with a plan for events and such in the next 60-90 days. —– Michelle Boule, U of Houston, Co-Chari Diane Hillman, Cornell, Standards Coordinator for LITA Erin McCaffrey, Regis U in Denver, Mark Beatty, VP, President-Elect Tiffeny McCall, UTKnoxville, new LITA person Jason Griffey, UT Chattanooga, Chair-Elect Karen Coombs, Co-Chair, U Houston Beth Hoffman, Newbie, Not Present but Important Kevin Clark, Tech Coordinator for Blog Jonathon Blackburn, volunteer wrangler for Blog — Program for ALA Annual Not quite sure what to do yet – social software something or other….

Blogging update
For those among us who are blogging the keynote presentations at LITA Forum, the row of chairs along the back row of the room have extra outlets scattered among them. As well, while there is no free wireless (boooo) there are evidently ethernet jacks randomly around the rooms which are live, so you can get Interweb that way, if you don’t pay for the hotel wifi.
Welcome to LITA Forum 2006
Throughout the day today, and over the weekend, there will be a number of bloggers covering the various happenings here in Nashville at LITA Forum 2006. Be on the lookout for great content, and please join in the conversation. If anyone has questions about LITA Blog during the Forum, I can be reached at jason-griffey at utc dot edu, or more immediately via AIM at utcrefJason. EDIT: I just realized that without a formal blogger’s room, people might not find me, especially if you don’t know what I look like. So, if you need to know, here I am (thanks for the picture, Iris). Have a great Forum!
Remember the Happy Hour…
Just a reminder to those attending: The LITA Happy Hour is tonight (Saturday) from 5:30-7:30 at the Wolfe Restaurant in the New Orleans Marriott. Love to see you there!
