Blogging and RSS: Applications & Technology
Are you looking for a more effective way to communicate via the Web? The Black Caucus of the American Library Association - New Jersey Chapter is proud to host Denise O’Shea (Systems Librarian at Fairleigh Dickinson University) as she presents an
overview of blogging. She will present real world examples to illustrate applications and best practices, and will discuss the basics of RSS technologies.
Denise presented this very well received program at the last NJLA conference and she has graciously agreed to present for BCALA-NJ members on Wednesday, August 20, 2008, at 6:30pm, at the Newark Public Library.
We hope you can join us for what is sure to be an interesting and informative program!

Denise O'Shea is the Systems Librarian for Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU). She serves as the liaison between the Library and University Systems and Security (IT), and is responsible for maintaining the library's online catalog - CoolCAT. Denise also provides technology training and guidance on library technology issues for FDU faculty and staff. She is based in Teaneck, but divides her time between all of the libraries that make up the CoolCAT consortium - including FDU's Metropolitan Campus libraries, FDU's College of Florham Library, and the College of Saint Elizabeth's Mahoney Library. She sometimes works with FDU Vancouver via ITV.

Prior to working at FDU, Denise worked in a variety of libraries including the National Network of Libraries of Medicine at the New York Academy of Medicine, Price Waterhouse's National Information Center, and the New York Public Library (Branch Libraries). She has worked as a Cataloger, a Young Adult/Reference Librarian, and a Systems Librarian/Trainer. Most of her library jobs have been a bit unconventional and have almost always involved traveling from location to another. She also has 10 years of experience working as a technology consultant.
Although Denise graduated from Rutgers Library School at a time when personal computers were barely on the horizon (they were throwing out the punch cards when she arrived), she has strong interest and a lot of experience working with all things Web 2.0 - blogs, wikis, RSS, chat, Facebook, LibraryThing, etc. |
