OCLC Research Announces Technical Advances for Innovation in Cultural Heritage Institutions (TAI CHI) Webinar Series
First Webinar to be Held Wednesday, 26 August from 11 a.m.-12 noon Eastern Daylight Time/8-9 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time
OCLC Research, on behalf of the RLG Partnership and under the management of Senior Program Officer Roy Tennant, is developing a series of webinars to teach library staff new technology skills and educate them about new products to help increase their productivity in today’s changing library, archive and museum environment. The goal of these webinars is to highlight specific innovative applications, often locally developed, that libraries, museums and archives may find effective in their own environments, as well as to teach technical staff new technologies and skills. The webinar series, titled Technical Advances for Innovation in Cultural Heritage Institutions (TAI CHI), will have two tracks: an instructional track and a product demo track. http://www.oclc.org/research/announcements/2009-08-07b.htm

The first product demo track webinar in the series will cover Library à la Carte on Wednesday, 26 August from 11 a.m.-12 noon Eastern Daylight Time/8-9 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Jane Nichols, Oregon State University subject librarian, will demonstrate how to create course Web pages, assignment tip sheets and subject guides in minutes without writing a single line of HTML. This content management system makes it easy to integrate Web 2.0 features, chat and RSS feeds, etc. with traditional library content, such as catalogs and article databases, into Web pages. Kim Griggs, Oregon State University programmer, will discuss installing and customizing Library à la Carte and future developments.
