SLA’s Innovation Laboratory
The best thing about which I’ve learned by coming to the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference is that SLA has an online space where members can play with and learn about all kinds of technology called the Innovation Laboratory. It’s just the thing we need to get our fingertips wet with the latest and greatest tech tools. There are learning videos, sandboxes where we can play, and a look at cutting edge technology. Daniel Lee, who like me is a candidate for director, told me a little bit about it during one of the board activities. One of the women who worked on it gave a presentation about it during the Leadership Development Institute Sunday morning.
News Division members Richard Geiger and Regina Avila worked on the 23 Things portion of the new online tools. It’s a 9-step program to help us adjust to different technology. They even created an amusing video (.pps) to help us adjust to new technology. (Hey, Richard, how could you forget to mention Babbledog, the best Web 2.0 site ever? 
)
Yay! What great resources!
