Thinking about the future: trends and signals for the library of the future

Title

Thinking about the future: trends and signals for the library of the future

Description

Thinking about the future of our profession and the communities that we serve can seem like a daunting challenge. But there are steps we can take right now – exploring the trends and signals we encounter in our everyday lives – that can help us begin to envision preferable futures towards which we can all work. Sharing some of what the American Library Association is learning through its Center for the Future of Libraries, this presentation will help all of us find a productive role in building libraries of the future.
