Hi-Fi-Sci-Fi-Library: Technology, Convergence, Content,Community, Ubiquity and Library Futures
Michael Porter, Community Product Manager, WebJunction

So you think it’s an interesting time to be a librarian now? Just wait! Through an examination of past trends, current tech, emerging tech, academic futurism and a dash of pop culture, we’ll take a realistic peek at where library technology is headed. We’ll then take this information and start planning what we can do now to ensure that libraries not only continue to offer our vital service, but that our role and positive contributions to society increase - perhaps quite dramatically.
