When I was asked to be one of the Top Tech Trend experts, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to attend the actual panel session this year, because I was slotted to be on another panel at the same time. I knew I’d at least post something to the LITA Blog<\/a>, but I wanted it to have the “Meredith flavor.” I assume I was asked to be on the panel to add a somewhat different point of view. I have a different focus than many of the folks already on the panel; probably because I spend at least half my time in the public services realm. My trends don’t mention the OPAC much (and I don’t actually use the word OPAC at all). I also describe some examples, because I always like to see how a trend is starting to actually take shape in libraries and I thought you might too. But I’m also a visual learner. I like to actually see what someone is referring to while they are referring to it. I decided that the best thing to do would be to create a screencast of my trends. So you can either read the script of my screencast<\/a>, or you can listen to me give the talk while watching the applications I’m discussing<\/a>. <\/p>\n

You can watch a full-screen version (recommended)<\/a> or you can just watch it on the small embedded player<\/a> on the LITA Blog. I’d recommend the full-screen version because it’s hard to make out details on the itty bitty embedded player.<\/p>\n

I like doing screencasts, because it feels like the closest thing to actually being there. I was so happy to get to listen to a podcast of the TTT panel at Midwinter since I couldn’t make it to the conference. It’s great to make this stuff accessible to folks who can’t attend conferences. It makes me feel good about being a member of LITA. And the Social Software Showcase<\/a> really<\/em> makes me happy to be in LITA! (Hey, what’s up with all the alliteration in LITA? Top Tech Trends? Social Software Showcase? I like it!)<\/p>\n

I came up with a lot more than four trends, but it would have been an hour-long screencast if I’d kept it up! Besides, I’ve got to save something for Midwinter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
