The Future Of Libraries in the E-book Age

I caught the tail end of this story on the radio yesterday and figured it was worth a blog link: http://www.npr.org/2011/04/04/135117829/the-future-of-libraries-in-the-e-book-age

    A friend had heard this on NPR last week and asked if I wanted to know about the future of libraries. I was happy to be able to tell him that I'd seen the article on our Tech Talk blog at work - and that there are many visions about the future of libraries!

    Hi Everyone, I was happy to attend the online PLA seminar "Can Your Library Provide the Electronic Content That People Want and Need" presented by Michael Porter. He was an amazing speaker and he gave us alot of "food for thought" about the future of libraries and the historical changes in technology and how libraries continue to make changes in their services in order to meet our customer's needs. I agree with his comments in regards to Library=people content + community. I also believe that we are all challenged to embrace and meet the changes that technology is bringing and to seek the opportunities that these changes bring to our libraries.
