Montana
The Red Lion Colonial Inn in Montana's state capitol, Helena, is the site of the Montana Library Association Annual Conference, April 25-28. Two new faces will be representing BCR at the conference — Jay Ford, Marketing & Support associate, and Shelly Drumm, Emergent Technology trainer. Drumm is presenting two programs:

• Podcasting 101, Friday, April 27, 10:30-12 noon — Learn how to disseminate information about your library out to the public using the latest technology.
• Flickr for Libraries, Friday, April 27, 2-3 p.m. — Flickr can do many things. This session will give you ideas on how to use Flickr to promote your library and introduce two of the hottest topics in librarianship today — social software and folksonomies.

Ford will once again be staffing the BCR exhibit booth, and both Drumm and Ford look forward to meeting members of Montana's library community. This may be the last time to pick up a BCR water bottle, so make sure to get yours before they are all gone!
