This week’s training opportunities from NN/LM MAR
You are invited to join us for the following webinars/CE opportunities taking place this week. All are welcome and feel free to share with anyone you feel will be interested.
1. Wednesday: Oct. 28, 11:00am-noon (ET) – Wearable Technology: If the Tech Fits, Wear It –
Join us at: https://webmeeting.nih.gov/techtime2/
Description: “Wearable technology” and “wearable devices” are phrases that describe electronics and computers that are integrated into clothing and other accessories that can be worn comfortably on the body. Examples of wearable devices include glasses, watches, headbands, and jewelry. While these technologies show great influence in fashion and entertainment, they have the largest impact in the areas of health, medicine, and fitness. Librarians are also exploring wearable technology’s potential for enhancing services and expanding outreach to their organizations.
