Emerging Tech Symposium
Thursday, June 6, 2019 <https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo_responsive.php?eventid=51193&org_id=NEOL>
Opening Session:
Beyond Reality: Expanding Your Library’s Services to the Virtual
It’s no longer sufficient to build library services around the real world. Technology is enabling an entirely new set of worlds for libraries and our communities to explore and build, through the emergence of expanded reality technologies. Augmented, virtual, and mixed reality comprise expanded reality -- collectively, they represent new modes for people to learn, experience, interact with, and explore knowledge, places, and activities that would otherwise be inaccessible. What should libraries be doing today to aid their users in these areas? What are the medium- and longer-term plans we should be making? And what in this brave new world might give us pause?
Learning Objectives:

  *   Attendees will learn what their libraries can do now to get started
  *   Attendees will learn what they can do to prepare for the near future

A Note from the Executive Director
[https://neo-rls.org/photos/50177_03042019090623.jpg]I’m excited to announce that the State Library of Ohio has awarded $500 to NEO-RLS to use as one-time project support money for a collaboration that is developed out of the Collaboration Connection: Planting the seeds to building successful community partnerships <https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=51155> program on May 2nd !  Projects that are initiated during the afternoon of that day will be judged based on specified criteria and one will be eligible for the $500.  Right now we have attendees from public libraries, an academic library, and a heritage society.  What do you have to offer another library and what might they have to offer you that will get that special project off the ground?  Who can you partner with in order to make your funding proposal more attractive to a foundation or other granting agency?  And, how do you make certain that you have your bases covered in that all-important Memorandum of Agreement?  Come join us for this informative and interactive program co-sponsored by NEO-RLS and the Academic Library Association of Ohio’s Programing, Outreach, and Marketing Interest Group.  I am excited to see what will happen when we think outside the box about our partnerships.  I hope to see you on May 2 nd!
