[Conntech] Cliff Landis at the CLA Conference

[Michelle Foyt]

Hi, everyone.  Although it's too bad that Robert Berkman has had a 
personal emergency that prevents him from coming to the CLA 
Conference as planned, he has furnished us with a super 
replacement.  Cliff Landis is flying in from Georgia.  He's presented 
at the Internet Librarian Conference in Monterey and the Computers in 
Libraries Conference this past year.  His time slot for the following 
will be the same as that for Robert Berkman:  Monday, April 28th, 
from 1 to 2:30 p.m.  Thanks.  Best, Michelle


It's All About the User: Libraries, Technology & the Future

By Cliff Landis

Web 2.0 has given library users the ability to connect with each 
other in new and innovative ways. As the Web evolves towards Web 3.0, 
4.0 and beyond, libraries need to be prepared to use these 
technologies to offer outstanding user-centered services. In this 
session, Cliff Landis will explain the connections between 2.0 
technologies, offer best practices for choosing tools, and 
demonstrate the emerging technologies that will impact the library of 
the future.

Cliff Landis is Assistant Professor and Technology Librarian at 
Valdosta State University, Valdosta, Georgia.  He is known for 
speaking on the connections between libraries, technology, and 
user-centered services.  Cliff has published articles and book 
chapters on these and other topics, and can be found blogging at
