LEADS from LLAMA

The Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA), a division of ALA, will present a free webinar featuring Jason Griffey, on Sept. 16, at 12:00 – 1:00 pm, Central Time. Griffey will discuss his experience as a successful and innovative leader in library technology. This webinar is part of an ongoing series featuring thought leaders from a wide variety of library types and size.

Griffey is the founder and principal at Evenly Distributed, a technology consulting and creation firm for libraries, museums, education, and other non-profits. Jason is a Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where he studies hyperlocal micronetworks such as his LibraryBox project.

He has written extensively on libraries and technology, most recently a chapter in The Top Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know: A LITA Guide. His previous book, Mobile Technology and Libraries, is a part of the award-winning Tech Set series. Named a Library Journal Mover & Shaker in 2009, Griffey has written and spoken internationally on topics such as the future of technology and libraries, personal electronics in the library, privacy, copyright, and intellectual property.

Griffey is one of eight winners of the Knight Foundation News Challenge for Libraries for the Measure the Future project, an open hardware project designed to provide actionable use metrics for library spaces.  He is the creator and director of The LibraryBox Project, an open source portable digital file distribution system.
