2009 MLA Petting Zoo Info & Schedule

 

The Technology Petting Zoo features a variety of gadgets of interest to you and your patrons . If you've never seen an iPhone; are considering videogame consoles for your library; or are thinking about jumping on the podcasting bandwagon; come to the Zoo. If you're wondering about the devices your patrons may bring into your library to plug into your library computers, come to the Zoo. Check out these gadgets and more in a comfortable, non-threatening atmosphere. Get demos of Web 2.0 applications like del.icio.us, Flickr, Blogger, PBWiki, and more! Create an avatar, sign up for Twitter, and play a game on a DS handheld. Nothing bites or induces allergies - we promise! It's all happening at the Zoo! The Technology Petting Zoo will be open during Exhibit Hall Hours.

 

Volunteers are needed to staff the Technology Petting Zoo. Contact Beth Gallaway to volunteer for your 4-hour shift!
