State Library's LIS Collection

How to Request Materials
If you would like to request this or other materials from the State Library of Kansas, please use your library’s established interlibrary loan process. Normally we purchase a single copy. You may be placed on a hold list for several weeks if our only copy is checked out. This collection is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the State Library of Kansas.

Wish you could do more technology programming for your patrons? Nathan Carr, IT Supervisor of Newton Public Library, does a different topic every month and these programs are available for any library to join. Ways you can take advantage of Tech Talks:

1. Watch Party - add the sessions to your library program calendar, and set up a space for patrons to watch the session live (projected in your conference room or a few patrons around an isolated computer). Nathan's sessions have these elements, depending on topic:
  • Webcam - so your patrons can see he's a live human being,
  • Show powerpoint presentation or shares his computer screen (as appropriate for the topic),
  • Answer any questions as they come up.
Nathan presents via Zoom, the same system used by the State Library for webinars. Join links are available through the Tech Talks page, or contact Nathan to be added to his reminder email list. He will email you the week of each program with the join link and topic.

2. Promote an Archive – The archived session is available the next day on the Tech Talks page. Last night’s program was “Top Sites for Aging Well: Health, Wealth, and Bucket Lists.” Please feel free to use archive links in your patron newsletters.

Upcoming topics (full 2016 schedule is posted on the webpage):
  • February – Computer Guts (what’s inside your computer?)
  • March – Your Online Persona
  • April – Best Computer for Your Needs
