New!
“What part of the future are you going to make your new job?” says Pat Wagner of Pattern Research. It’s the best question we can ask ourselves as we move our careers and organizations forward into the 21st century. Keeping abreast of what’s new and trending in society and technology so we can discover what works best for our libraries and workplaces is something we need to examine regularly. What are the future services our communities need from us? Drive the vehicle of change yourself and you will avoid getting run over. Come along and take a ride to see what’s new, what’s hot and what’s now.
