New on Facebook: LSC TIG Conference Photos

You can now find photos from the LSC TIG Conference on the LSC TIG Conference Facebook page, which is available to everyone whether or not you are a Facebook member. Conference attendees can relive all of the great memories, but more importantly, those of you who couldn’t attend have a chance to put faces together with the voices and names that you’ve heard over and over again. A few people that readers of Technola might want to check out: AJ Tavares, the techie behind I-CAN! E-File; Ed Marks, who understands how tech and mission should fit together; Glenn Rawdon, beloved technology grant funder; and, of course, my former and current deputy directors, the Al(l)isons. – K

NLADA Report: Back Channels and Resources (Part 5)

And now for the second in my series of now-finished half-finished posts from NLADA.

At the NLADA Annual Training Conference, conversations about sessions and keynotes were happening online as well as off. Several attendees were live-tweeted key points from the sessions that they attended. Additionally, NLADA set up an online community for the conference. More than 250 people signed up, and there were several people who added content and asked questions. And finally, if you are looking for session materials from the conversation, check out the LSNTAP website, where Eva, their diligent and very patient librarian, posted materials from the technology sessions.

And with that, I’m done with blogging about the NLADA Conference! – K

Several already happened and were recorded and made available online, but the remaining two webinars happen this Wednesday and next Wednesday. – K

The Differences Between LegalTech and TIG

Last week, I was in New York City during LegalTech, an annual legal technology event put on by Incisive Media. I didn’t get to spend much time there; however, during my search for the Pro Bono Net booth in the exhibit hall, I quickly realized that LegalTech is a very different conference than TIG. A few things that stood out:

The exhibit hall was enormous–three floors of space at the New York Hilton.
Exhibitors had plenty of expensive swag. I promise, if I had had more time, I would have picked up presents for all of you.
Most attendees wore suits. Steve Gray’s “TIG business casual” and accompanying baseball cap would have been very out of place. (In fact, my normal business casual barely fit in.)
E-discovery is the focus of many sessions.

And perhaps the most important difference–many more people attend LegalTech. This means that there are plenty of people who tweeted and blogged about the session that they attended and that you can attend without being there. A few posts worth reading:
