A Note From the
Executive Director

The NEO-RLS Newsletter has a new look! NEO-RLS staff have been working over the past few weeks to develop a more visually appealing and effective newsletter format.

A few of the changes you will notice:

  *   The CE Calendar is more prominent
  *   Larger, eye-catching banners
  *   New buttons for creating a NEO-RLS account, CE @ a Glance, and the NEO-RLS Jobline

We are open to any feedback or suggestions for additional improvements that you may have so please send those my way at, ragan.snead at neo-rls.org. <mailto:ragan.snead at neo-rls.org>

Have a great day!

Ragan

(Part 1 of 2) Web3: Not Your Grandmother’s Web

It might seem like only yesterday that Web 2.0 was new and shiny, but there’s a new kid on the online block who is bringing a number of newer technologies to play. Learn what makes the next iteration of the WWW different from its predecessors, and what new things it is already making possible.We’ll also discuss what some of these new digital components might mean for libraries in the not-too-far future as Web3 continues to evolve.

(Part 2 of 2) The Metaverse: What Is It and Should Libraries Care?

There’s been a lot of recent hype around the concept of “the metaverse,” but is it really new, and is it actually already here? In this webinar, we’ll discuss not only what the metaverse is (or could be), but what it can do, and how it might relate to libraries.
