Tuesday, April 23 at 6pm Learn about different kinds of mobile devices – smartphones, tablets, e-readers, cell phones – and how they work. We’ll discuss the basics of what an app is, and how to find and start using apps that are useful to you. Bring your mobile device if you have one, and we’ll try to answer your questions. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to email them to Jennifer before the class at jennifer.koerber@gmail.com This class is free and open to the public. No registration required. Will be presented by consultant Jennifer Koerber, trainer and speaker on emerging technologies and the social web, and co-author of Emerging Technologies: a Primer for Librarians (Rowman & Littlefield, May 2015).
