NYTSL Presentation

On Friday, November 9 I went to the Princeton Club in New York City to present at the New York Technical Services Librarians (NYTSL) Fall Dinner Program. After a couple of drinks and dinner, I gave my talk on “Libraries and the Free and Open Source Software Movements.” I am not sure what the actual head count was, but I think there was about 80 people in attendance. With 80 or so people there to hear me speak (there was no other presentations), I was really hoping it would go well. As it so happens, I think it went extremely well and the feedback I received from people after my talk and at the pub where we continued the discussion of Free/Open Source Software in libraries, I am pretty sure that at least most of the people enjoyed my talk. All-in-all it was a great time and the people there were great. I am happy to have been able to present to NYTSL and hope to be able to attend future NYTSL programs. I placed the “extended version” of my slides on my Web site at TCNJ. I had limited time to talk, so I had to cut out a number of screen shots and slides from my original slides (I tend to create as much content will come out of my brain, and then cut it back when I am preparing presentations or papers).
