QR Codes at Internet librarian!

IL2010 Mobile Program

Use this exciting mobile technology to discover prizes in a fun on site game. Take this opportunity to learn about an emerging technology while competing with fellow librarians to show them who really is the most innovative. On Sunday Oct 24th get more details about the competition at the conference information desk in Monterey, at the Games & Gadgets Evening, or online here at the conference blog. Be a technology leader and uncover the mystery to score a prize. Download a QR Code Scanner app for your smart phone so you are ready to play. We recommend: QuickMark or BeeTagg.

Location Based Activities & Prizes!

Check in and win at Internet Librarian with fun Foursquare games. Download the Foursquare app for your smart phone and become mayor of the conference venue and win a prize even more valuable than bragging rights. Not everyone can become mayor, so be an active engager of this emerging mobile tech by checking in at the conference multiple times and you too can claim a prize deserved of such a trend setter. If you need advice, join the gang at the Games & Gadgets evening program on Sunday Oct 24th. And don’t forget to use Foursquare at Internet Librarian to see where colleagues are hanging out, think parties and karaoke!

Prizes for:

  • 1 big for the Foursquare Mayor of the conference [Did I hear iPod shuffle?? SShhhhh, don’t tell]
  • 1 big for the Foursquare Mayor of the exhibit hall
  • 5 small for the Foursquare heavy user runner ups

Video blog, blogs & Ustream channel @ #IL2009

By on October 28, 2009 in IL2009

Thank you so much Elise Brown for your wonderful contributions to covering the Internet Librarian 2009 conference through your vlog!  Don Hawkins did an earlier in depth story about Elise.  I was just checking out your coverage of Monday — terrific!  And did you see all the posts from bloggers here at the conference?  One of the most popular ways the conference is being covered is via Ustream channel by Erik Beokesteijn and Jaap van der Geer. Last night’s Rockin’ Battledecks was watched live by many who were not at the conference and they had lots of comments.  I’m sure even more people will watch the archived version.   And of course, the Twitter feed you find by searching #IL2009, is amazing.  Thanks so much to all for your coverage of the conference!  Great buzz.
