The CJRLC Tech Group will meet today at Monmouth County Library Headquarters in Manalapan, featuring a presentation by Robert Lackie of Rider University entitled The Web Search Toolbox. It is supposed to be practical tips and techniques designed to help you make more effective web searches. I am excited just to be in the same room with Robert Lackie, since I have heard so much about him. He is also a contributor to the Library Garden blog that I like to read and have subscribed to receive RSS feeds to through bloglines.

I get really excited about any of these free meetings as it is a great way to network and meet new people around NJ. Since school districts in NJ are in such financial hardship, it is really essential that between library school programs and cooperatives and state offerings, we are able to participate in some of these workshops. In this year alone, I have learned more information about Flickr, RSS, movie making software, Web 2.0, blogging, collection development/reader's advisory, among other topics I can't remember at the moment. I am so hungry to learn more about my profession, and so thankful to have so many really cool library people within an hour of my school to talk to and use as resources!
