Workshop Wealth: Technology Training To Go

A belated thank you to Stephanie Race et al. from NEFLIN for a fabulous TTTG program last Thursday and Friday! A great time was had by all. Thanks also to the State Library and the Gates Foundation for the funding for same.

The keynote speaker at the conference was Stephen Abram, SirsiDynix's Vice President of Innovation, a man who embodies his title. If you are under the impression that you are keeping up with most of the technology or at least most of the the technology terms, Stephen Abram is the man to disabuse you of that notion! One of his scarier statements is that we are approaching a 15- to 20-year stretch of change that will make the last couple of decades seem that we haven't even been marching in place. (What really happened these decades? We learned to click.) Go read his blog over at Stephen's Lighthouse, (it's well worth it!) and prepare yourselves for the deluge.

For some good real-time blogging about the conference, see John Miller's two posts over at PLAN's blog, Postcards from the Cracker Coast.
