[Web4lib] Talk of the Nation to Talk 21st C. Libraries, 2-21

[K.G. Schneider]

FYI...

Tomorrow (Tuesday, 2/21/06), the NPR show Talk of the Nation will discuss
the "Bookless Library." The blurb states:

"Information technology changes as soon we think we understand it. We look
at how libraries keep up and redefine their role. How would you design a
library for the 21st century?"

TOTN has a phone-in component, so you may want to tune in.

I heard on the radio today that they are soliciting emails on this topic,
with subject lines of 21st Century Library. I did not see an email address
on the site, but I see a contact form here:

way):

Here in NorCal the program runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The schedule
currently doesn't state which hour the show plans to feature libraries,
though I expect that to be evident by tomorrow morning. 

I don't know if any librarians were involved in the production of this
show... it will be interesting to listen!
