15. Keeping
up

trends
in

buying
is
important.
Watch
things
like
IDC

for
data
on
sales.
Watch
blogs
like
Mashable
and
Gizmodo
for
trends
It’s
not
just
about
knowing
what’s
going
on
in
the
library
world,
its
knowing
what
your
patrons
are
doing
in
the
actual
world

16. That’s
all
I’m
going
to
say
about
what
patrons
have
–
it
changes,
but
it’s
your
job
to
keep
up.
I
know
it
sounds
daunJng
–
but
it’s
actually
a
lot
of
fun.
You’re
overwhelmed
when
you
start
trying
to
keep
up,
but
once
you’re
in
a
groove
you’ll
be
waiJng
for
the
next
apple
announcement
