Yesterday, I was part of a group presenting Mason’s Research Portal project at CNI’s Fall 2008 meeting. Another member of my group counted 65 people in the audience which seemed a nice turnout and the Q&A that followed suggested that we hadn’t bored them to death by any means. I think more than a few in the audience felt empowered when they saw a demonstration of how easy it might be to combine a couple of open-source packages with a dusting of CSS magic and end up with an easy-to-implement but useful platform for advancing the e-work of libraries.
Trying to green things up a bit, instead of creating a paper handout, I put together a simple website to serve as documentation of our briefing—thanks to Keynote’s QuickTime export I was able to post a copy of our slides as well.
