hi-fi sci-fi library: The Presentation
(Maybe) You’ve heard the song and seen the video. Now you can see the presentation that inspired them both!
-Hi-Fi-Sci-Fi-Library: Technology, Convergence, Content, Community, Ubiquity and Library Futures.
LITA National Forum - keynote - October 18, Cincinnati, OH
Description:
So you think it’s an interesting time to be a librarian now? Just wait! Through an examination of past trends, current tech, emerging tech, academic futurism and a dash of pop culture, we’ll take a realistic peek at where library technology is headed. We’ll then take this information and start planning what we can do now to ensure that libraries not only continue to offer our vital service, but that our role and positive contributions to society increase - perhaps quite dramatically.
The presentation is stuffed full of multi media, special effects and lots of realistic, yet fun and thought provoking surprises designed to get your mind chugging along as is contemplates the future of Libraryland. A future populated with hi-fi sci-fi libraries!
These two intro slides will be running at as people are filtering into the room (they are slightly clipped here, click to see the whole slide):
Hope to see some of you there!
Looking forward to it!
I’ve recently started a blog, the information you provide on this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you for all of your time & work.
Very nice, gives me a lot of inspiration being right in the midst of a redesign. It’s all in the details and comment forms are definitely overlooked more often than not. Time well spent on this post. This is a very good idea! Just want to say thank you for the information, you have to share. Just continue to write such a position. I will be your faithful reader. Thank you again.
Nice site! I enjoy a couple of from the articles which have been written, and particularly the comments posted!
