Attended a Metro Webinar on Keeping Up with Tech Trends

Today's technology makes it possible to attend a professional meeting at home or at one's workplace. Today I attended a webinar offered by METRO about keeping up with trends in technology. We all have a comfort zone and it is often difficult for us (especially older people like myself) to try new technologies when the old ones still work.

The following sites were recommended for following general technology trends:
  • New York Times Technology Section
  • Read Write Web
  • Wired Magazine
  • Life Hacker
  • CNET
  • Slashdot

The following sites were recommended to follow library related trends:

  • Lita Blog
  • Planet Code 4 Lib
  • Stephen's Lighthouse
  • Tame the Web
  • Shifted Librarian
  • Digital Reference (Stephen Francoeur0
  • Blyberg.net
  • Tech metro
