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

These workshops are available at no charge. I am currently offering these online, and once travel is safe again, I have funds to travel Idaho and help libraries and patrons better understand, control, and use recommendation technology.
