American Libraries Live

The journal American Libraries has launched a series of webinar-type broadcasts they're calling American Libraries Live, a hosted "free streaming video broadcast that you can view from your home, library or on-the-go." 

Broadcasts are topical with different hosts and live chat.

This first of its kind program will include experts like Jason Griffey, author of Mobile Technologies and Libraries in The Tech Set and TechSource columnist, and Warren Graham, author of Black Belt Librarian. Look to them to learn more about compelling topics, including how to get an ideal library job, the latest innovations in mobile services, and what the real deal is for libraries and ebooks.

First program = Friday, November 16, at 1PM Central features ALA TechSource author Jason Griffey talking about libraries in the near future in “Library 2017: Tech at Warp Speed.” Topics for other shows include strategies for landing your ideal library job, digging into databases, and what’s the real deal about ebooks for libraries.
