METRO Science Librarians SIG Meeting Today

The meeting was scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM, but I invited people to meet me for lunch before. Robert Olley of the Wildlife Conservation Society and David Brodherson of Baruch College joined me for lunch at a local diner. We had a good discussion of various professional issues. Here was the agenda:


Robert Olley - Conducting Academic Research in the Fields of Zoology and Conservation

Jill Cirasella - Quirky, Not Quacky: Quantum Computing For Librarians
Valerie Tucci and Naveen Maddali - Future of A&I services and Scitopia

The three talks were excellent. When I return to work on Monday, I will have to check out Scitopia. It seems to be a good federated search engine.
