We were lucky enough to be able to present again at the LibTech Conference at Macalester College this year! We gave a joint presentation with Sarah and Zach from Minitex. CMLE talked about how we were able to teach ourselves podcasting and the Minitex staff talked about their experience teaching themselves how to make videos.

We also attended several great sessions throughout the day. Mary learned about creating Moodle classes and I got to hear about one academic library’s experience with their VR equipment. This conference is so informative and filled with friendly library people from all over the country.

While we were at the conference, we were able to record some episodes of our Book Bites mini podcast with conference attendees! We did have to overcome a few small equipment challenges, but podcasting onsite is always such a great learning experience, and it was worth it because we were able to meet a bunch of interesting library people!

You may remember last year at the LibTech conference, the library on campus was unveiling their recently renovated makerspace. I was so excited to go back and check it out to see how it had changed! There were so many fun things to try out and look at, I ended up staying for quite awhile!

We definitely recommend this conference to anyone working in a library and dealing with technology. Thanks to our co-presenters for an awesome experience!
