Future of Libraries Summit: A Crossroads of Budget Cuts, Service Demands, and Technology Needs

From the Library Journal Article:

Around 40 librarians gathered at the new Darien Library (CT) on March 26, 2009, to discuss the challenges facing libraries. John Blyberg, Darien’s assistant director for innovation and user experience, welcomed the group, and promptly set the tone of the day: libraries are at the center of change—are we creating it or merely managing it? It was an opportunity to step back from the Web 2.0 tools, open source OPACs, and must-have widgets to re-examine the nature of libraries as the first decade of the 21st century comes to a close.
