For those of you not on
Libnet, I wanted to post the information about a Webinar being done by the State Library regarding the future of AIRS.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…which is often
how people describe the AIRS database package. This usually divides people into three camps: those who swear by it, those who swear at it, and those who never heard of it. Which are you?
Join Gene Hainer at
high noon on January 5th 2012 for a look at AIRS past, present and future. But mostly future…complete with rattling chains, ghostly sounds, and perhaps some really old Figgie pudding (providing the software accommodates all of
these).
Learn
What’s Next?! as the AIRS Committee—those unsung Musketeers of the Colorado database negotiating world—begin the task of reviewing, revamping, and reanimating the state’s database world in 2012 and beyond. And if you’re really sharp, you might just walk
away with a nifty gift for your next white elephant party.
Here’s how to join the next
Webside Chat special edition that airs the burning questions: Will it be the best of times? Or yet another funeral for Tiny Tim? You decide by joining a cast of dozens online at
http://connect.enetcolorado.org/websidechat/. Please enter your name as a guest when you log in.
All you need to participate is computer speakers or headset; communications will be by text chat, so a phone line or microphone is not needed.
