Tech Sharecase, 9 March 2012
Food & Technology
In celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the Oreo®, we enjoyed Oreos with our brown bag lunches. This lead to a discussion about the
technology used in manufacturing products like Oreos. The Food Network show Unwrapped was mentioned as they explore “the test kitchens and the secrets behind lunch box treats, soda pop, movie candy, and more.” We also searched the website of the reference publication How Products are Made for Oreos, to no avail. However, M&Ms® are included in the publication.
The conversation steered toward different technologies and a UPS documentary about the company workings in Louisville, KY. The NYPL conveyor belt system was mentioned. The following NYTimes article has a write up and includes video: “That Mighty Sorting Machine Is Certainly One for the Books.”
Coutts Oasis
We also discussed eBooks and Coutts Oasis incluidng searching publications, picking edition preference by cloth, paper and myilibrary Coutts. We also discussed the capability to add slip and e-slip plans to your Coutts profile by defning your subject area. Users who set up this option will recieve notifications for new titles in the defined subject area.
Lastly, we named the other resources we use for making title selections including Amazon, WorldCat, book reviews, faculty suggestions et cetera.
