Coming from the Left Coast
Submitted by krisveldheer on Wed, 2007-01-17 17:28.
Greetings from the Left Coast! I am in Berkeley, California where I am currently the Instruction Librarian and Teaching Lab Manager for the Graduate Theological Union. I have been here just over 8 years. Although I keep a blog for personal use, I am hoping to explore a number of ways I can help the faculty and students use technology more effectively. I find it a tough sell for our faculty to use any kind of new software, so I want to understand it so I can shorten the learning curve and help them understand the benefits.
The GTU is a consortium of 9 seminaries in the Bay Area who share some common services including a common library. So I am interested in finding ways to bring the many separate faculty and their various schools together electronically, if not in person.

The neat thing (well, one neat thing) about social software in libraries is that it can be employed all but invisibly to the end-user. I know in week 2 we'll be talking about pulling together RSS feeds into an auto-updated web page; this has an obvious "wow" factor that may overcome some resistance.
