SPLAT - Special Projects Library Action Team

This is a great hour-long overview of what did and didn't happen at ALA Midwinter in
Boston in January 2010.  Four techys give their 10 minute overview with a
few Q&A's.  You will hear about

• www.thecopia.com -- a new social e-book platform
• www.blioreader.com -- a new ebook platform designed for the visually impaired
• Mobile Discovery Tools: MyLibrary, Polaris Mobile PAC, OCLC/Red Laser, Library Thing/Local, SyrsiDynix BookMyne
• Augmented Reality -- what it is and how it might be used by libraries
• Discovery Systems
• Failing to Win -- a cultural shift in viewing failure as a part of success, rather than a negative
• Finally, flexibility, deconstruction, serendipity, and community as growing trends in the transition of the library world as well as the world as a whole.
• Two more apps: Foursquare and GoogleBuzz
