ALA Trends Information Commons

Found blog by The Librarian in Black about trends she thinks will be addressed at the ALA Conference.

Top Technology Trends

By Sarah Houghton-Jan

I'm a couple of years into my time on the LITA Top Technology Trends committee. I like it a lot. It forces me to stop and think a bit, process, all that information I've been absorbing over the months. I've just posted my trends for the upcoming ALA conference I don't claim to have anything revolutionary, but take a gander if you wish.

I liked her comment, "we stalked ‘em and now we have to figure out what to do now that we found them. And we need to do something. We need to push out new alerts and information within each application. We need to link calendars, images, videos, podcasts—all to each of these presences. It’s not really enough just to have a presence, you need to exploit it." Again the idea emerges that it's not enough to have the technology without a clear vision of where you are going with it.
