What is MD Tech Connect?
More than ever technology is becoming integral to our libraries – from the experiences we provide for customers to the tools we use to serve them. This 8th MD Tech Connect event is designed to continue the work of the past years in building a library technology community in Maryland that is more inclusive than in the past – recognizing that our tech efforts touch ALL library staff, not just IT staff. The intended audience is “IT staff”, “technologists” and “technology enthusiasts” from all types of libraries. The event is designed to bridge these various library technology worlds to be inclusive of all library staff.
