Hi, my name is Ryan Deschamps and I am e-Learning Manager at the Halifax Public Libraries and I blog at The Other Librarian.
I'm happy to present at Computers in Libraries this year about using laptops to make social networking happen both online and face-to-face. As the current Vice Chair of the Halifax Regional CAP Association Board, I am very interested in practical uses of computers to engage community in positive ways -- and by "community" I mean both online community and local community.
