Who: librarian.net's rarin librarian Jessamyn West
When: Monday March 21 3:30 (Vernal Equinox)
Where: Freedom Forum Conference Center, 3rd floor, Carroll Hall
What: Postcards from the Other Edge of the Digital Divide. Political
Choices and the Information Poor

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.
