SWON Libraries Office
Currently residing in Cincinnati, Glen Horton has served as the Technology Coordinator for the SWON Libraries organization since 1999. His duties require him to have experience in a wide range of technologies. He is responsible for providing technology assistance, technology training, and facilitating shared projects within the SWON Libraries membership.
Before coming to SWON Libraries, Glen spent seven years in the Library Computing Services Department at Wright State University. In addition to managing the libraries' 200+ PC's, he assisted in administering the libraries' web, file, and card catalog servers. Glen received his B.S. in Computer Science from Wright State University.
The web is no longer just a conduit for one-way communication; it has evolved into a platform for collaboration and building communities. Online social tools are the building blocks of Web 2.0 and libraries are already using them to effectively reach out to patrons.
Join us for a hands-on demonstration and discussion about blogs, RSS, wikis, podcasting, folksonomies, instant messaging, and other social tools that your patrons are already using. Glen will show many examples of libraries already using these technologies to interact with patrons via the Web.
