Baruch College’s eleventh annual Teaching & Technology Conference will be held on March 28, 2008. You can register online. I’ll be doing a presentation there with my colleagues here at Baruch who helped implement Bearcat Search, our federated search tool that uses the 360 Search service from Serials Solutions.
Another colleague of mine from the library here, Frank Donnelly, will make a presentation that will provide an introduction to GIS (geographic information systems). Frank just started at Baruch last fall and has already made a number of contributions to our staff’s understanding of what GIS can do (check out his geography and GIS subject guide on the library web site).

Baruch College will be hosting Library Camp NYC on Tuesday, August 14, 2007. This event is being run as an “unconference,” which means that there will be no charge to attend and that the program will be decided by the attendees at the start of the day. For details on this event and on prior library camps, check out the Library Camp NYC wiki.
