  • Perspective: Predicting the Future of Academic Libraries – A slightly humble commentary on why I turned down a speaking invitation, and what sensible people are saying about small steps toward the future.

    “It appears that blogs and wikis satisfy people’s desire to report on ALA programs….”

    Having now done both–written an ACRL session report for Cites & Insights and written blog posts for ALA sessions, I’m decidedly ambivalent. The blog posts were easier, but not as carefully written or as detailed as what I wrote for C&I. I got more links and mentions on the web from the C&I article. Some of that was the relative popularity of the topic (nothing I wrote about from ALA had the word “Google” in the title). But some of it was the higher profile of C&I than my little blog, even when the posts are linked from the wonderful conference wiki.
