Participants will gain skills in identifying emerging technologies that will impact library services. Attendees will develop practical tools to prepare for and optimize these new technologies using a new planning process taught through lecture and discussion and demonstrated through model building and manipulation, case study, and group activities. In addition to gaining a clearer understanding of how technology impacts library activities, participants will also learn strategies for integrating transformational technologies into the library's mission and goals.
