Presenter: Lisa Carlucci Thomas
Mobile technologies are taking the world by storm. New products, services, and features and hit the market (and the news) each day – all with much related fanfare and debate. How do we separate what’s hip from what’s hype? How do we determine what’s worthy of attention and exploration in our libraries? Librarians are well-positioned to take the lead in this rapidly changing environment. In this talk, Thomas addresses the realities of these changes for libraries, the risks and complexities of adapting and expanding services, and the new roles emerging as librarians become active participants in the mobile revolution.
