Sci/Tech 101

Welcome to Sci-Tech 101!

James and Mary Frances would like to welcome you to the Sci-Tech 101 blog. We are dragging ourselves into the 21st century by setting up this blog so we can continue our discussions from our sessions at the annual SLA conferences. We hope you will find this informative and interesting. This year we graduating to a "201" topic and will be giving a presentation on information visualization.

Slides from the 201 Session in Boston, June 2015

Sorry for the long delay but here are the slides from our presentatios in Boston.  Enjoy!  And please let us know if you have any questions!  Take care, James
