NCompass Live: Technology in Libraries: What’s Next?

Join us for the next NCompass Live: “Technology in Libraries: What’s Next?”, on Wednesday, June 26 10:00-11:00 am Central Time.

In 1957 an article in Wilson Library Bulletin complained that with the advent of the telephone at the reference desk, librarians couldn’t provide appropriate service to patrons that come into the library. These days libraries are trying as hard as they can to provide 24/7 services whether the patron is in the library or not. In this session, Michael Sauers, Technology Innovation Librarian, at the Nebraska Library Commission takes a look at some of the state of the art technologies that are starting to be implemented in libraries today, and then presents technologies that you may not have even heard of yet, that may just change how libraries serve their communities.

Upcoming NCompass Live events:

• July 3 – What You Should Be ‘Subjecting’ Your Teens To: The Nonfiction Switch
• July 10 – Learning in the Learning Commons: How UNK Moved Out of the Silos and into a Dance Hall
• July 31 – Tech Talk with Michael Sauers
