Abstract

I am both excited and a little daunted to know that our office will soon have two new tablet computers for use in our work with the library catalog, the library website, and user access to electronic resources. More and more of our users are bringing these with them to campus, and in many ways they work differently from the computers I know. We are also testing Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10. I have had a Twitter account for more than a year but have never used it. One of my 2013 New Year’s resolutions is to get started because my colleagues find that Twitter is a great way to learn about new research and new library services. All of these things have led me to think about what kinds of training—particularly, but not limited to, technology train-ing—we who work with the public in libraries need to have to stay current and about how RUSA might help. There was a great deal of discussion a few years ago
