On Tuesday, October 5, from 10-11 a.m., he takes a look at "Firefox Search Plug-ins." He will walk you through the creation of a search plugin that, once installed, will allow your patrons to search your OPAC from within Firefox without having to access the library’s Web site first. He will also examine the Firefox browser built-in search bar that allows users to search such databases as Google, Amazon.com and Wikipedia, as well as create customized searches that can be added to Firefox.

The second program, "Tech Terms: What’s New, What’s Hot and What You’ve Got to Know," explains podcasting, phishing and malware, Wikis, RSS feeds and BitTorrent, topics that if you haven't heard about them from your patrons, you soon will. Get up early to attend this presentation, scheduled for 8:30-9:30 a.m., Wednesday, October 6, and you will learn the "techie" language that will make you more comfortable talking with your patrons about their technology needs.

Finally, don't forget to visit Sauers at BCR's exhibit booth. He would enjoy the opportunity to talk with you and your fellow librarians about Internet training and access, including the new WebLive and Free Friday Forum workshop sessions; training and support for OCLC services and products; reference databases; custom cataloging; and the many discounts available for most BCR services.
