Online Recommendation Info Sessions
I am available to give informational talks, training sessions, and workshops on recommender systems to library staff and patrons. Contact me to set up a session with your library, or a group of libraries in your area!
These sessions teach:
- What online recommendation is
- Where recommendations come from (both economically and technically)
- How recommendations and advertising relate
- How you can take (some) control over your recommendations
Resources
- Slides from Abington Free Library talk (Oct. 1, 2025)
- Slides from ICfL Info2Go session (Jul. 20, 2020)
- Slides from ILA 2019 talk
