strategies you can use to protect yourself and your patrons online.

Top Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know – 2 
<http://www.ala.org/lita/toptechknows2>, with Steven Bowers, A.J. 
Million, Elliot Polak and Ken Varnum
Offered:November 2, 2015, 1:00 pmCentral Time
We’re all awash in technological innovation. It can be a challenge to 
know what new tools are likely to have staying power ­­and what that 
might mean for libraries. The 2014 LITA Guide, Top Technologies Every 
Librarian Needs to Know, highlights a selected set of technologies that 
are just starting to emerge and describes how libraries might adapt them 
in the next few years. In this fast paced hour long webinar, join the 
authors of three chapters as they talk about their technologies and what 
they mean for libraries. Those chapters covered will be

• Impetus to Innovate: Convergence and Library Trends, with A.J. Million
• The Future of Cloud-Based Library Systems with Elliot Polak & Steven 
Bowers
• Library Discovery: From Ponds to Streams with Ken Varnum

Plus the 4 week deep dive web course:

Personal Digital Archiving for Librarians 
<http://www.ala.org/lita/digitalarchiving>, with Melody Condron
Offered:October 6 – November 3, 2015
Most of us are leading very digital lives. Bank statements, interaction 
with friends, and photos of your dog are all digital. Even as librarians 
who value preservation, few of us organize our digital personal lives, 
let alone back it up or make plans for it. Participants in this 4 week 
online class will learn how to organize and manage their digital 
selves. Further, as librarians participants can use what they learn to 
advocate for better personal data management in 
others. “Train-the-trainer” resources will be available so that 
librarians can share these tools and practices with students and patrons 
in their own libraries after taking this course.

Sign up for any and all of these great sessions today.
