Jamboree: Take a Test Drive in the Tech Zone

A popular event at the past Jamborees has been our Tech Zone. Here's a place where you can test-drive many paid databases. You can also try a new search technique or resource that you've just learned about in a session.

For 2012, the Tech Zone will be found in Room 129 in the High-Tech Hallway, which is located inside the East Tower of the Marriott, directly across the hall from the elevators and workout room. Look for signs.

Jay Holladay and his band of geeks techs will help.
