Hi everyone – since Amanda and I were the guest editors for the recent Feliciter issue (vol. 56 no. 5), and since the CLA allows all authors to repost their articles (Creative Commons licenses FTW!), here’s a collection of the featured articles for the issue.
Theme: Emerging technologies in libraries
Emerging technology as an enabler (guest editorial) – Amy Buckland & Amanda Etches-Johnson
A user experience primer – Cecily Walker
Building communities with large group methods and social media – Ryan Deschamps
Using a local chat server in your library – John Fink
Libraries evolve to stay connected: Building the YourLibrary iPad app – Rob Zylstra & Stephanie Thero
Livres numériques: le papier est la meilleure platforme – Patrick M. Lozeau
Thanks to everyone involved – especially the awesome folk at the CLA head office!

We’ve got official word on Access 2010!
When: October 13-16, 2010
Where: Hotel Fort Garry, Winnipeg Manitoba

See you in Winnipeg in 2010!
Mark Leggott and his team did a killer job, and organized one heckuva great conference.
Check out the presentations from Access 2009 and enjoy!
Planning on attending Access 2009? Need a little help getting there? ETIG can help!
We have a $500 travel grant available to members of ETIG to help you get to PEI this fall. Simply send us a message letting us know you’re interested in the grant and we will draw one winner from all applicants (names-in-a-hat style). Email us at:
- amybuckland AT gmail.com
- etchesjohnson AT gmail.com
Deadline to apply is September 5, 2009.
And If no one applies? Well then the Access2009 Travel Grant becomes the ETIG Convenor Beer Fund! (OK, we can’t really do that. So apply!)
Whew!
What a great day – I’m still reeling.
Notes from the camp session and all of the presentations (a big thanks to Jason, John, and Jessamyn – ya, there’s a theme there) are on the wiki.
Amanda and I are pretty sure we’re going to try and make this a yearly thing – so see you in Edmonton in 2010!
We’re about 10 days away from the ETIG Library Camp (Friday, May 29 @ McGill) and things are gearing up nicely: the schedule for the day is up, we’ve got three fun speakers lined up for the morning (Jessamyn West, John Fink, Jason Hammond), we already have some great suggestions for an interesting & informative afternoon, and there are all sorts of awesome folks signed up who I can’t wait to meet/see again!
If you’re in the area and haven’t signed up yet, we still have space for about 15-20 more, so head over to the wiki and register. We’ve even got a neat treat for every attendee, but you’ll have to register & show up to find out what it is (as if you needed further enticements)!
