Michael Stephens posted to ALA TechSource about Library 2.0 job postings: ALA TechSource | On the 2.0 Job Description: Part 1
It's interesting to see that some libraries are beginning to include Web 2.0/Library 2.0 technologies (blogs, wikis, podcasts, etc.) in position postings. I'd love to know how many applicants they get who actually meet the qualifications.

Some ideas for using this blog and our del.icio.us account
Here are some ideas for using this blog and the del.icio.us account in conjunction with our Tech Talk meetings:
The blog can be a place to continue discussions that begin in meetings or start new ones. It can also be a place to comment on new technologies, post links (with comments) to interesting new sites or web services, etc.
The del.icio.us account can serve as our community bookmarks, a place to store links of interest. You could post links you find interesting at the time you find them. Then, in our meetings, if we need ideas for what to discuss, we can talk about some of the sites that have been added recently.
For me, the difference between the blog and del.icio.us is this: If you find something interesting on the web, post it to del.icio.us. If you want to comment on it -- or comment on some general topic not tied to a link -- use the blog.
What do others think? Any other ideas for how we can use these tools?

Welcome to Tech Talk!
In this inaugeral post, I'll try to explain what Tech Talk is. I'll talk about the blog in a subsequent post. Please post and comment with your own ideas! Tech Talk is brank spanking new and can become whatever we want it to be.
Tech Talk is an informal group of OHSU Library staff, students, and guests that will meet at 3 PM on the second and fourth Friday of each month in the OHSU Library's History of Dentistry Room. It's intended to be a place where we can share cool technology we have discovered (software, web sites, gadgets... whatever) and ask questions about technology topics. The group is open to any staff member, student... oh, pretty much anyone who wants to come. You don't have to be a techie -- but you might become one if you stick with the group long enough :-)
Before we go any further, I should present the Fundamental Rule of Tech Talk:

No Preparation Required
We all have too many meetings with agendas, minutes, action items, and prepared presentations. Tech Talk isn't one of those! Come as you are. We'll have a laptop and projector for showing off stuff, but you are not expected to do any formal preparation for the meeting.
So c'mon in, pull up a chair, and enjoy some tech talk!
