Delivering library news directly to the Geology and Geophysics department faculty, staff, and students. 
The 1st Emerging Tech Expo was a huge success. We have over 100 library staff attend this event today in Anderson Library. As a member of the planning committee I was fortunate to be a part of the amazing planning that went toward creating a fun and energizing expo.
Here's the community blog version of the Expo. We list all of the emerging technologies that were on display for our staff along with links to some of the handouts. Please enjoy!
