How can we use technology for marketing? What is its role, or potential role, in development? What about education? And social networking? How can we collaborate through technology? Can it help us share resources? What does technology offer us collectively?

Join us on July 31, 1 to 5 p.m., at the Alabama Department of Archives and History in Montgomery for the state's first Roundtable Technology Exchange.
