the acquisition, operation, collection and management of e-resources in libraries today.
The MSU Libraries Emerging Technologies Summit < http://library.msstate.edu/emergingtech

libraries. Are you wondering what iPads, wireless drone quadricopters, jQTouch, and Jog
the Web have in common? Come meet our Steal-this-Idea speakers at the Summit and find out
how they are using these technologies and more to keep our libraries innovative and
relevant. Aaron Schmidt, design expert and UX guru, will provide the touchstone for our
discussions, sharing his expertise in creating (good) user experience on the web.
We’ll see you there!
