"Tech Tools with Tine"

I *LOVE* this series I'm doing. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission has contracted me for another round of webinars. When I started I didn't know what I would think about giving webinars. Many of the ones I had attended although informative were dry and I just didn't want to be another talking head. I may be another talking head, but I do feel like I'm making a difference with this series. It is explicitly aimed at USING various web tools. I do occasionally give background and why a tool could be used. But the unique twist is to show the clicks and live interaction with the tools. I'm providing immediately transferable knowledge. That's what I love so much about my piece of the training world - being a Knowledge Transfer consultant. I don't just want to provide information. I want to make it tangible so that people are efficient and they RETAIN the information provided.

Thanks to everyone who has made this series a success... TSLAC LD folks and the librarians who attend! You make me proud to share my knowledge.

Me, an expert??

Well, this past month I had the opportunity to be interviewed by a graduate student. She was taking an instructional technology class and had to interview a consultant. Her field of interest is libraries. So when she googled, she found me.

I found the experience refreshing and revitalizing. I was able to share the experiences I've had in the past being an independent consultant AND what it is like to be attached to an organization. I certainly hope that she not only does well on her assignment but that something I said was helpful.
