Technology has changed the face of libraries and continues to change how we work and deliver services to customers.
This workshop focuses on emerging technology trends, including AI, gaming, XR technologies, and digital creation spaces, and how these trends reshape library services. Examples of incorporating emerging trends into libraries will be provided. Attendees will leave knowing what trends to look for, the difference between a technology trend and a fad, and how their library can respond to emerging technology.
