Hello SCLC Emerging Technologies Interest Group Members, Welcome to the SCLC Emerging Technologies Interest Group listserv! We’re so glad you’ve joined and are excited about the conversations and connections this group will foster. SCLC Interest Groups are collaborative spaces where library staff from across the cooperative can connect with peers, share ideas and resources, and crowdsource questions or challenges. If you’re new to listservs, here’s a quick overview of how it works: • Sending an email to the listserv address (emerging-technologies@lists.socallibraries.org) distributes your message to all group members. • Members can reply to continue the discussion and share their perspectives, experiences, or materials. To help get things started, we invite you to send a brief message to the group — perhaps a question, a topic you’d like to explore, or an issue you’d appreciate input on. Many members across SCLC are participating in interest groups for the first time, so if you’ve been waiting for someone else to post first, you’re not alone 🙂. Your participation helps create a welcoming, engaging, and supportive community for everyone. As a reminder, please ensure all communications align with SCLC’s Online Rules of Conduct. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Warmly, Nerissa Nerissa Snodgrass Project Manager Southern California Library Cooperative 222 E Harvard St, Glendale, CA 91205 (626)407-3185
