Greetings all,
Whether you'll be at ALA in Chicago, at home on your couch, or out on
walkabout, please join us this Sunday for discussion, analysis, and debate
of the hottest technology trends for libraries by leading trend watchers and
technologists. This year we'll be streaming live video of the panel and
providing an interactive rich-media live blog where you can follow the
conversation and interact with a special panel of trendsters dedicated to
our online audience.

Also new this year, let us know what trends *you* would like most to hear
about. Take our 20-second poll:
