    LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 2014-15 Planning Meeting
    Tuesday, August 26, 2014
    3:30pm–5:00pm
    CUNY Office of Library Services, 555 W 57th St., 10th floor, Conference room 10-B

    Join the LACUNY Em Tech Committee as we exchange ideas and plan another incredible year. We share knowledge, present projects, ask advice, exchange code, and teach workshops for novices and experts alike. How can we use technology, whether legacy or cutting-edge, to better serve the CUNY community? What new skills can we librarians add to our toolbox? What criticisms and opportunities does new tech invite? Who would we like to invite to speak or teach? Come by our planning meeting and help us map out a year of activities.

    Agenda:
    Introductions
    Old business: review of 2013-14
    New business: workshops, hack days, and other events you want to see

    Open to all CUNY librarians (really! You don't have to know how to code). RSVP at http://bit.ly/letcrsvp
