Interested in an inexpensive way to share and access your files and documents from anywhere?
Then cloud computing might be for you!
Data
and services are being migrated to "the cloud" at a rapid rate, but what does
this mean for libraries? More importantly, what exactly is the cloud and what
are the practical uses that can be applied to improve our own work flow as well
as provide service for our customers?
There
is no doubt that cloud computing is changing the way we access and store data.
This webinar, given by Princeton Public Library’s Scott Sanicki, will look at
several aspects of cloud computing.
Trends and advantages (as well as drawbacks) will be examined and practical advice on how you can take advantage of “computing in the cloud” will be given in this webinar.

What I Learned Today
When telling your
story...
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Pictures are everywhere;
we see pictures of people in ads, magazines, and business websites, but
not very often on library websites.
Including
photos from library events and of the library staff helps give the
library a more human feel.
Flickr is an online photo-sharing site that can help you store
your library images and publish them to your site. This workshop will
walk you through signing up for Flickr, uploading images, managing
images with sets and collections, tagging images, mapping your photos
and much more.
By the end of this session you’ll be ready to sign up for a Flickr
account for you library and start sharing pictures.
