When does a growing economy lead to fewer jobs? Today and the near future, according to Bohyun Kim’s closing keynote “Libraries Meet the Second Machine Age.” Kim’s presentation was intriguing, wide-ranging, and challenging.
One of the sessions I went to was “Can’t I just Google it? : Informational Literacy and the Digital Native” presented by Deanna Munson, Assistant Director for Crown College Library.
I attended many great sessions at this year’s Library Technology Conference and I’m continually amazed by all of incredible educational iPad apps that are out there.
I would imagine that most public libraries struggle with finding time to help technophobes with technology. In many cases there isn’t time while at the Reference or Information Desk to instruct someone on how to download an eBook, set up a device, manage photos, or use Cloud storage.
