WML Tech Updates

1. The training session, Giving Presentations & Using Microsoft PowerPoint Effectively, Part 2, is this week. For those who missed it, Rachel put handouts in your mailboxes. Also, check out the little site she put together for the workshop. At the bottom of the page are links to the PowerPoint presentation (Part 1), pdfs of the handouts, and an online survey. If you went (Amia and Leslie), please remember to fill it out. Part 2 will be also linked here, and additional websites for more advanced features of PowerPoint will be added before the Thursday session (10-11 am in Owen Room 204). Peabody librarians have been invited as well.
2. Check out this page in progress and give feedback to either Deb and or Rachel.
3. As soon as Rachel gets a breather (and some sleep), she’ll get back to working on getting DeepFreeze working on the public workstations later this week.
4. Kilimanjaro is still acting funky on occasion. Danny has had to reboot the printer server on several occasions in the past month, and we don’t exactly know what is wrong. Follow the suggestions on the technology flowchart, and if all else fails (and Rachel is not around), feel free to contact Danny, but be sure to let Rachel know (via email or in person) that you did. Be sure to look at the back of the flowchart for directions on what to do on weeknights and weekends.
5. Rachel went to a conference this past weekend in St. Louis. It was the LITA (Library & Information Technology Association) National Forum. There were lots of great sessions, and wonderful speakers. She drove up there with Dale Poulter, and both Suellen and Rick Stringer-Hye were there. Not only did she get to network with other librarian geeks, she got to know some of her colleagues better. It was a wonderful experience, and she is full of ideas for the WML website and Staffweb as well as ideas for collaborations with the other libraries. Very cool stuff.

Have a good weekend, everyone! Thanks for your attention and time!
