There’s an upcoming BCR Free Friday Forum that many of you might find interesting. It’s part of a tools for tough times series they are doing. Here’s the session description:
Strange, But Free: Exploring a Few Open Source or Free Tech Tools That Could Save Your Library Money
Since it’s not just your patrons’ cash reserves that are drying up, we’ll take a quick look at a few tools that you can use to replace services you may be paying for, or that you can use to expand services without breaking the bank. To co-host this FFF, we’re bringing in Kieran Hixon from the John C. Fremont Library in Florence, Colorado. Kieran has been a huge proponent of Open Source technologies in his library and has achieved some pretty impressive results.
The webinar is FREE and will take place online February 12th at 11 AM Central Time Zone. Space is limited, so be sure to register now if you’re interested in attending.
