[Web4lib] Living Digital: The Future of Information and the Role of the Library

[B.G. Sloan]

Interesting ALA Midwinter symposium...
 
"Collections and access to information are the bread and butter of libraries. The digital environment has introduced new materials, new partners, and new user expectations into the information arena. Four distinguished speakers from inside and outside of librarianship will consider topics that include recruiting students into information-related professions, information-seeking behaviors of those living in the digital age, emerging initiatives related to information access, and techniques institutions may employ in adapting to new information ecologies. Attendees will learn how to facilitate the delivery of information and understand their role in an environment of constantly evolving genres and increasing quantities of information."
