Palm Beach State College Archive’s Celebration July 20th, 2011-Part I

 Margaret Richardson Brown, Brian Kelley, Idella Wade

Idella and Margaret are two of the librarians from Roosevelt Jr. College

Palm Beach Jr. College at the Palm Beach High location

Thank you to Suellen Mann, Executive Director of the College Foundation, for sponsoring the refreshments and partnering with the library to organize this event. Mr. Brian Kelley, Library Director of the LLRC, explained the reason for inviting everyone today and to talk about how the college alumni might be able to help the college. He also wanted to talk about some exciting new possibilities of what the college could do for them.

To help preserve our college history, Mr. Kelley showed the guests the boxes, arranged by decade, that contain photos of mostly unnamed individuals and events. He is asking for help to identify these pictures. He encouraged everyone to ‘spread’ the word to others. Mr. Kelley said “Eventually we hope to digitize the majority of the holdings of the archives of the college. There will be additional identification possibilities in the future as we make the unidentified photos available online”. He also reviewed the history of the school from the year 1933 that began with 41 students to the present with over 50,000 students. Our new BAS program began in 2009 with our first graduating class this past May 2011. Mr. Kelley introduced Suellen who told more about the Emeritus employee association benefits.

 from Palm Beach State College! 

QR Codes are "the new big thing." Already common in commercial applications, libraries are realizing their power to provide information to their users. Find out what they are and how easily your library can uses them to benefit users. Come hear Diana Moore of Palm Beach State College, Chad Mairn of St. Petersburg College, and Steve Kohlberg of Edison State College talk about how they are using QR codes in their libraries.

You can sign up for the webcast here:

     or … scan this code with your smart phone!

Using my Android App from a major shopping trip last winter, I scanned this QR tag with my phone using the 'Shopper' app and I also tried 'QuickMark' App. Both App's worked well, but I like QuickMark better.  This QR tag took me to the registration page for CCLA for this Talking Tech Webcast.  I can register right from my phone:]  We have QR tags now in our General Collection, in the Public Service area and in the Periodical Dept. This adds a very fun feature to learning in the library!
