Trends question
by Dave Ewick 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hello - I'm curious what are the most relevant and/or interesting articles/books/etc. that you've come across recently? Don't feel a need to limit yourselves to the "normal" library sources. I'm interested in broadening my view and felt that you would be a good resource to tap. For example, I recently read "The Library as Infrastructure" by and found it fascinating (attached). If you reply directly to me I will collate and post a summary of responses. Also, the IFLA trend report is a great roundup of what's ahead for us. (attached) Stay safe & be well my friends!
