We would like to thank everyone for attending our Infolink Tech Talks on 4/8/10. Think of this place where you can both gain access to resources related to our presenting topics, as well as a place to share projects that we have "hopefully" inspired to you to do at your own libraries.

If you would like to add information and media for a project we have inspired in you (and we would love you too!), email me at baldwin@cranburypubliclibrary.org and I will add you as an editor!
