DESCRIPTION
It looks like Slideshare had some issues with some of the presentation formatting. Otherwise, enjoy. Presented at WAAL 2009. Program description: What can technical services departments do to tackle ongoing issues surrounding automation, training, and communication? Many perceive that, because of lack of financial resources and computer skills, technological tools are out of their reach. While true for some, many other technological tools do not require deep pockets or computer expertise to use. This presentation will cover several free (or inexpensive) and easy to implement technological tools that the Technical Services department at Miami University has incorporated into its daily operations. Specific software, including wikis, macros, and tutorial creation will be discussed along with quick ways these tools can help address the above issues.
