Topics for Future Meetings of the Mobile Technology Roundtable

At today’s meeting, we thought our time would be more productively spent if each meeting featured a discussion of a single topic. We agreed that for each topic, we’d want a volunteer to lead the discussion. That volunteer does not have to be an expert in the topic, nor should they expect to make a formal presentation. We’re looking more for people that can facilitate conversations as much as share what they know. Here are the topics we came up with and who has volunteer to lead the discussions:

Topic: Mobile web development in WordPress
Presenter: Stephen Klein

Topic: App development (what does it look like, how can you piggyback on your college’s app, etc.)
Presenter: volunteer needed

Topic: Mobile Commons (a text-message-based system that Baruch has started using for campus communications campaigns)
Presenter: Stephen Francoeur

Topic: Text reference services (experiences from one or more libraries that offer this service now)
Presenter: volunteer needed

Topic: Augmented reality apps
Presenter: volunteer needed

Topic: Mobile devices and library tours
Presenter: volunteer needed

If you’d like to be a presenter/discussion leader for any of these topics or if you’d like to suggest a new topic, please do so in this thread.
