October Tech Talks

Come and enjoy coffee and treats while listening to your fellow Library IT colleagues and partners present tech-related projects from around the Library.

October is a special month, not just because of Halloween candy (although it doesn’t hurt) but because it is both Yale University Disability Awareness Month (YUDAM) and Medical Libraries Month. To bring attention to October’s themes we have Tech Talk presenters from the Diversibility At Yale (DAY) affinity group and the Medical Library.

This month’s Tech Talks will be Wednesday, October 18th from 3pm-4pm in Bass L01 AB.
The agenda includes:

  • Software for those doing Data Science (Python, Git, SQL, etc.) [Josh Dull]
  • IIIF, Mirador, and Yale University Art Gallery  [Trip Kirkpatrick]
  • Why VPATs? [Joan Emmet]
  • Reimagining the slideshow: using reveal.js [Caitlyn Meyer]

For those who cannot join us in person, the session will be streamed via Zoom (note the new URL):

Slides and recordings of the Tech Talk sessions will be archived in https://yale.box.com/LITTechTalkArchives.

All Library staff are welcome to present at the Tech Talks!  Please send topic suggestions to Lise Gazzillo at lise.gazzillo@yale.edu.

See you there!

Yale Joins the IIIF Consortium
