The more support we have, the more we can accomplish.

Come find all the iPhone support you need at the Saturday Technology Training Session on Saturday May 7, 1pm to 4pm, in room 215 Adaptive Services at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.  The library is hosting a panel discussion on iPhone (and possibly other mobile) usability. What does this mean? A group of presenters will be available to share their hints tips and tricks on using specific apps. In addition, you're invited to submit requests in advance of the presentation on any apps you may have questions about or want to demonstrate yourself.  Please send your question or request to patrick.timony at dc.gov<mailto:patrick.timony at dc.gov>  I will try to carve out time for everyone to talk about apps that they have found useful.  Panel members will include Don Olson and Jane Sheehan from NLS and Mark Reumann from the Patent Office as well as others.

Also Irvin Foster of CatalystIPF will give a brief presentation on Conflict Resolution as a strategy for success in the search for employment and in interpersonal dynamics in general.  Catalyst offers a diverse range of conflict resolution services and products delivered by a multi ethnic team of conflict resolution professionals with experience in academic training, in communication, law, education, psychology and system design.
