Librarians Nancy Trimm and Paul Mascarenas recently presented a poster session at LOEX Conference, Blazing Trails: On the Path to Information Literacy in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The session, Librarians Without Borders: Techie Spaces, highlights programs developed by Public Services-Instruction Librarian Brooke Andrade; Public Services-Reference Librarian Paul Mascarenas & Reference & Instruction Librarian from Mesa County Public Library Nancy Trimm.
In the session, librarians Trimm & Mascarenas discussed their respective community outreach programs wherein they take laptops to neighboring communities and teach basic computer classes. The response was overwhelmingly positive from local librarians hosting classes in their communities. The response from today's LOEX poster session was well received. Trimm & Mascarenas were able to share this unique project with librarians from across the states. Former Nielsen Library Reference Librarian Phil Jones stopped by to say 'Hi' and learn about Mobile Laptops. Also stopped by for a visit was Fort Lewis College Reed Library Director Ben Wakashige.
