Welcome aboard!

Hi all and welcome to the first post in the vast fence that we, the technovisionaries, will be laying down to help pin down areas of vast Internet and technological advances to assist in everyday library operation and use. So I guess you could say to use a catchy phrase that we will be findining and founding a 'techniche' that we can go to not only for information, but to help ourselves gather and disseminate information not only in regards to our own workplace needs, but the needs of our patrons. So by keeping ourselves informed of emerging technology we can empower our users to also be able to enjoy the benefits of the enhancements technology can bring to all aspects of library users lives, from the recreational to the more academic pursuits.
