December 29 (10 a.m. - 11 a.m. OR 2 p.m. - 3 p.m.) 
The Long Tail" and the Growing Social Nature of Information: Where are
libraries in the mix? (Heather Clark)
The Web services such as blogs and wikis, as well as recommender
services on retail sites like Amazon and Netflix, are making it easier
share information about books, music and movies that might be out of
print or out of demand. These services mine the depths of the
bibliographic world without the use of library catalogs. As users
discover more rare gems in the virtual space, what will the impact be on
the library environment? This program will examine this trend, discuss
probable impact on the library environment and how the library world can
benefit from this phenomenon.
