What are national “experts” predicting about the future of libraries?

One of the most exciting conferences I’ve ever attended took place in Atlantic City, N.J. in May of this year. Experts from across the U.S. described their views about the future of libraries. I truly wish everyone of you could have been there with me. The best I can do, however, is link you to notes from that conference. I hope you find them as compelling as I did.

In addition, the New Jersey State Librarian has some interesting information on her blog. Tabletop Computing is Here (downloading, resizing, and sharing photos can happen instantly)from the New Jersey State Library’s blog, “Blake’s Blog“.

If you have web sites or opinions you’d like to share about the future of libraries, please feel free (encouraged) to share them here. Best, Linda
