The Promises and Perils of Mobile Communication
SESSION II: 10:30 – 11:30AM
Mobile communication is changing the way people are accessing information and how it is shifting library services.

Future-proof Your Library Through Collaboration: Where Reference Meets Technology
SESSION III: 3:00 – 4:00PM
Does your library have staff that are afraid of technology? Is your computer department isolated from the big picture? Do they work in two separate worlds? Join us for a panel discussion between librarians and technicians as they tackle the tough issues between them. Audience participation will provide a lively environment!
