RE: the next big thing
Wow, a lot of great ideas on this topic (particularly Sam McDonalds
personal library disc)!
As far as the next big thing(s), heres what I think (as a electronic
services public librarian and newsletter writer):
1. Information Devices
2. Teleservice (e.g. real-time distance ref, etc.)
3. Broadband Services
4. Digital Assistants
5. Language and Translation Software
6. Advanced Display Technologies
7. Wireless Networking
8. Next Generation Online Publishing
9. Filesharing Networks
10. Information Management
Ive written a brief report on these technologies, which can be found at
http://www.libraryfutures.com/freereports/technology.htm. A much longer,
detailed report on the techs can be found in the Spring 2001
issue of Library Futures Quarterly newsletter (excuse the plug).
