> About the talk: While we read blogs, tag content and swap lifehacks,
> people in rural areas are still learning to type. Public libraries are
> making many more technological choices just to provide basic information
> and Internet resources nowadays, yet the paradigm for learning to work
> well with technology differs dramatically from learning to work well with
> books. Jessamyn West will be talking about being a tech-savvy librarian in
> a profession struggling into the 21st Century.
>
> More about Jessamyn West: Jessamyn West is wrapping up her job as an
> outreach librarian at a rural public library in Vermont. She has worked in
> public, special and college libraries and done stints of on-the-fly
> reference at Burning Man, the WTO and the Democratic National Convention.
> She has maintained librarian.net, a weblog for radical librarians and
> other interested parties, since 1999. She is fascinated by the
> intersection of technology, the public sphere and politics.
