Dutch Maritime Museum launches new facebook site

Linking in with the last Teach Meet session regarding the use of Social Media to engage with students. Here is a very innovative and humorous way the Dutch National Maritime Museum launched their new Facebook page.

LIR Tech Meet Salon Presentations Using Web2.0 / Mobile Technologies Smarter

Back in September LIR held its inaugural TechMeet salon in DIT Aungier Street, entitled" Using web 2.0 / Mobile Technologies smarter". There were five speakers in total and four of them gave presentations on the following:
Clickers in Teaching – Rachel Hynes, NUI Maynooth
QR Codes - Elaine Bean , NUI Maynooth
Video in Teaching – Orla Daly, UCD
Library Anywhere – Simon Perry, IT Carlow

It was the first time LIR ran this type of event and after some tweaking we intend to run it again sometime in December.
