• 2. multi-platform that appeals across multiple markets and generations

EM

RETRO TECH

• What is coming back?

Virtual Book Clubs (Remember the call-in dial a storytime for kids?) Book movement Subtext (K-12) Daily Lit Storytoolz (writers) The key to staying alive in current technology is:

• ther things)

Individual and team aspects with badges and “field operations” Missions: visit specific portals – for example, start and stop at a library

LIBRARIES AS SILOS OF IMPACT AND CHANGE?

EM

• How do we impact users of technology?
• How do we guide toward awareness of privacy issues and the impact of

“big data”?

• How do we incorporate new technology into our libraries and

communities?

• Google currently works with data at the petabyte scale – a million

gigabytes!

• Libraries interpret and provide structure for all that data
• In an overwhelming world, Librarians are the niche for training and understanding an
• verload of data
• Libraries collaborating to create apps vs. relying on vendors?

EM The Library’s KEY to staying relevant is:

• 1. either an irreplaceable niche market OR
• 2. multi-platform that appeals across multiple markets and

generations Are Libraries “pivoting” when needed? *Flickr - “Game Neverending”

OPEN SOURCE & OPEN LIBRARY ENVIRONMENT

• Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE) - An Extensible Service-Driven Library

Management System (Academic Libraries)

• University of Chicago
• Duke University
• A direct result of ILS vendors no longer responding directly to academic library’s

request for modification to address library database, content delivery, and circulation needs.

EM

WEARABLES

• Smart Watches
• Google Glass
• Fitbits
• Cicret
• Apple Watch

Wearable tech sales are up 133% from last year –International Data Corporation

• Even if we don’t use them… we have to support them! (Connectivity to Wifi/Internet

and charging stations)

EM

AS COMMUNICATION NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS CHANGE, ARE WE ADAPTING(PIVOTING) TO MEET THOSE CHANGES? (MEETING THE USER WHERE THEY ARE AT – SMARTPHONE, TWITTER, THE WORLD WIDE COMPUTER)

VOICE RECOGNITION FOR OPACS

• Demo iPad
• Tablets in Children’s Area
