 Mobile Technology Workshop, 22nd September 2010 [highly recommended!]

At a time when mobile technology is fast growing and librarians are presented with yet another opportunity for service delivery, many librarians do not know where to start and many find the topic daunting. iBala consortium is offering a repeat workshop for those librarians who missed the one presented at the 10th Southern African Online Information Meeting (SAOIM) on the 6th August 2010.

The workshop intends to build a bridge between not knowing where to start and getting the basics in place. It will be held at the CSIR on the 22nd September 2010. As this is a repeat workshop the same topics that were covered during the previous workshop will be presented. These are:

• a first level tutorial on how to use your cellphone
• searching and accessing a library catalogue from a mobile device
• designing a mobile site
• step by step guide on generating QR codes
• mobile technologies for service delivery (SMS)

Participants are required to bring their own mobile devices, e.g cellphones, Blackberries, Kindle etc..

Cost: R 300

Date: 22 September 2010

Place: CSIR, Building 22

Time: 9:00 - 15:00
