Stephen Abram talks about and points to a report (107 pages!) by Ann Joslin and her ICFL peeps titled "PERCEPTIONS OF IDAHO’S DIGITAL NATIVES ON PUBLIC LIBRARIES: STATEWIDE FOCUS GROUP FINDINGS"

Way to go, Ann and ICFL!

Lifehacker, one of my favorite websites for all things cool and internet-y, has posted "13 book hacks for the library crowd" on incorporating web-based web tools and library resources.  Check out the comments too, as readers point out their favorite online tools and library services. 

This kind of video is making the rounds again, where the future is shown as the fusion of technology and personal--but highly selective--consumption of information.

It begs the question, doesn't it, of what kind of libraries we will have in 2015? Will we still be relevant? Do we have a say in how the future shapes our libraries? I'd like to think all of us in libraryland would shout an unequivocal YES!!!

I wrote on a previous post about how easy wikis are to use, and now the good folks who brought us "RSS in Plain English" have a brand new, easy to understand video titled "Wikis in Plain English"
