[Libtech_or] Welcome to the OLA LibTech Roundtable/Meeting Announcement

[Brent Mills]

Hello everyone!
Welcome to the official listserv for the Oregon Library Association's LibTech Roundtable!

So who are we? We are a roundtable, for one, a part of the OLA and our mission is to build and encourage an active community and support network for people interested in how technology impacts library services and development. 

Our roundtable has four main objectives under this broad mission:
Offer a centralized forum for the exchange of ideas involving the use of technology in libraries 
Provide training & educational opportunities on technology issues, topics and tools 
Raise the capacity of OLA members to share advice, research and support for library technology initiatives and...
Promote cooperation and fellowship among OLA members who are responsible for or interested in technology in libraries
So how can you connect with the roundtable community?
There is the LibTech Roundtable blog run by secretary Elsa Loftis
