SUMMARY:Library Technology Immersion Conference
DESCRIPTION:When: Wednesday\, August 20 - Thursday\, August 21\n\nWhere: 
 James B. Hunt Jr. Library (NC State University Libraries)\n\nWebsite: 
 atechcon.org\n\n\nPresentation by Springy Talia:\n\nLunch and Learn: The 
 Hidden Engine of UX: Why the Right Tool Still Beats the Smart 
 Tool\n\nDescription: While the buzz around AI in libraries grows louder\, 
 sometimes the smartest technology isn’t artificial – it’s simply 
 well-designed and reliable. The best library tech often goes unnoticed by 
 patrons because it just works. This session takes attendees behind the 
 curtain of smooth\, human-centered library experiences powered by 
 Springshare’s intuitive tools like LibGuides\, LibCal\, LibMaps\, 
 LibSites\, LibAnswers\, and more. We’ll examine how human-centered 
 platforms reduce friction\, support equity\, and scale services – all 
 while respecting librarians’ expertise and preserving the library’s 
 role as a trusted\, human-driven institution. In a time when automation can 
 overstep\, Springshare tools help libraries remain accessible\, adaptable\, 
 and deeply personal. Join us for a provocative look at why choosing 
 proven\, accessible tools matters more than chasing trends.\n\nDate/Time: 
 Thursday\, August 21\, 12pm - 1pm ET (local time)\n
