When communicating with techies takes you to jail

The mayor of San Francisco went to jail recently to retrieve passwords from a techie gone bad. Turns out the techie with the goods was friendly and accomodating, but this is one situation we'd all rather avoid.

While we likely won't discuss techniques for coaxing passwords out of techies-turned-felons, we'll share secrets from librarians and techies alike on communicating with the other half. Join us next month for our 30-minute webinar...

"I say tomayto, you say tomahto:”
Communicating with techies and non-techies--can’t we all just get along?

WHEN: 11:00 AM Pacific / 12:00 PM Mountain Time Zone, Wednesday August 13th

WHERE: WebJunction's wimba webinar space

Join Ross Callender from the Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) as he shares tips and suggestions for improving communication between techies and non-techies. Bridge the gap by trying a few simple techniques. Take 30 minutes out of your day to learn from his experiences of helping hundreds of librarians use, troubleshoot, and make the most of technology.

The 30-minute webinars are a great way to save time learning about techniques and technologies that librarians have contributed to the Cookbooks. Once a month we invite a Cookbook contributor to share their experiences in these short webinars that are designed to get you started on something new, today.

I received a link to this

I received a link to this post in my Twitter feeds and thought we had been hacked. We don't blog about going to jail all that much ;)
