The influx of new technologies has impacted the way individuals learn, work, communicate, and interact with each other and their world. What are the technological and global trends impacting today’s libraries?

This presentation answers these questions and provide a menu of professional development strategies that equip the librarian to remain effective and competent into the future, including the important role LIS schools play in this development.
