The Library and Information Technology Association blog has podcast a series of discussions on technology trends from the ALA annual conference. 5 of 7 planned podcasts are already available. Contributors to these discussions are Roy Tennant, Walt Crawford, Karen Coombs, Marshall Breeding and John Blyberg.
Next week, LITA promises to roll out audio from the LITA President’s program as well as “the great debate” – Do libraries innovate? Library Journal’s ALA roundup: stats, SPARC, Google, and innovation, describes it “While the panel was lively and drew its share of laughs, the serious question of whether libraries innovate drew a mixed response (with Abram saying no), and a rebuke to what the panel saw as an excessively negative librarian culture which doesn’t tolerate failure or encourage experimentation.” Ooh! Must listen in to this one next week.
