[WLA-All] College of DuPage Library Trends Teleconference

[Jamie Markus]

Don't forget about Friday's College of DuPage Teleconference!


April 11 (10-11:30 am)
Trends, Fads or Folly: Spotting the Library Trends That Really Matter
(College of DuPage)

This program will investigate new trends in libraries such as
patron-created folksonomic cataloging (del.cio.us, LibraryThing & the
new breed of OPAC*s), libraries and librarians in virtual environments
such as Second Life, as well as give an update on libraries and social
networks (mySpace & facebook). Are these trends? Just fads? Plain old
Folly? We*ll deal with a central question in this teleconference: To
what extent do Libraries need to quickly adopt new technologies into
their programs? Or, *just because you can do it, does that mean that
you should?*

worry.  The State Library will have a DVD of the program available for
Inter-Library Loan within 3 weeks.
