Talking Technology

Google Shortcuts
Tuesday August 7th at 7 pm

1st Floor Community Room

Google is so easy to use, why attend this presentation? If you're like many people, you use only a small number of Google's services and features!

Nancy Blachman, who taught computer science at Stanford University, will show you how to go beyond Google's deceptively plain interface and take advantage of many shortcuts and underutilized capabilities.

Nancy has been using Google since the spring of 1999, when it was less than one year old. She has written more than a half dozen tutorial and reference books, including How to Do Everything with Google, and she also maintains the popular Google Guide web site.

Read more about the talk and Nancy in Get Your Google On, an article that The Princeton Packet published on 8/3 that features an interview with Nancy about her upcoming appearance at PPL.

Hope to see you there!

Welcome everyone to the new home of the Tuesday Technology Talks blog. We have migrated from Blogger to Movable Type and have a new address as a result: http://www.princetonlibrary.org/techtalks/

If you subscribe to the RSS feed of our Blogger blog you will need to update your feeds as the old blog will no longer be updated after this month. The link for finding feeds for the new blog is directly above the archives in the right hand column.

The move is almost complete. We lost the comments in the move and I will work on restoring them. I have not blogged with Movable Type before so I will be making tweaks as we go along and I figure out features, etc. to add.

Thanks everyone for your continued support of Tuesday Technology Talks. We are entering our 8th season of Tech Talks this September and have had over 60 talks since the series began in October 2000. I am sure this new season will be interesting and informative for all who attend.

Join us on Tuesday September 4th at 7 pm as Nicole Engard, a Metadata Librarian at Princeton Theological Seminary, introduces us to Content Management Systems (CMS).

If you are not familiar with Content Management Systems, here is a simple definition from Komodo that I like: "A software solution used to create, maintain and control a website"

Many firms, individuals, libraries and small businesses are using a CMS to manage their data and web presence. Come find out if a CMS is right for you or your company.

Here is the flyer for Nicole's talk! We look forward to seeing next week.
