Second Notice - Solo Librarians Meeting on January 22nd
The Solo Librarians of the San Andreas Chapter of SLA invite you to join them at their next meeting on Thursday, January 22nd. Anyone with an interest in small libraries is welcome, including students and recent grads of the MLIS programs.
Sonia Dorfman will be hosting the meeting at 6 P.M. on Thursday, January 22nd at NeuroPace, 1375 Shorebird Way, Mountain View. Below is a map link.
We will have Jean Bedord on hand to discuss "eBooks Hit Critical Mass: Where Do Libraries Fit with Oprah?”. There are book databases, and there are downloadable books, not to be confused with ebook readers (Oprah loves the new Amazon Kindle). Jean will explore which of these formats make sense for your library.
Like solo librarians, Jean Bedord wears multiple hats. She teaches part-time at the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University. She is also a findability and search strategist for publishers and vendors in the online information industry (www.EContentStrategies.com). Her articles have been published in Information Today and Searcher, as well as other publications. Jean has just published a book "I've Got A Domain Name – Now What??? A Practical Guide to Building a Website and Your Web Presence" which is available as both an ebook and traditional print format.
We will be serving a light meal prior to the presentation. Those who are planning to attend need to contact Sonia Dorfman by January 20th at sdorfman@neuropace.com or (650) 237-2784. If you have already contacted Sonia, there is no need to do so again.

Here is an added tip for locating NeuroPace: Once you are on Shorebird Way, turn right into the driveway at the Accuray sign. The parking lot and building on the left is NeuroPace.
