NTG is an informal group of library staff that gathers monthly to discuss new technologies that could be of use to the MU Libraries. NTG makes neither recommendations nor does it have a formal charge. It is merely a forum for exchanging information. Everyone is invited to attend.
If you are interested in presenting at a future NTG gathering, please contact Gwen at grayg@missouri.edu.
