questio

Should ebooks be subject to borrowing/lending?
What are ebooks teaching us about categorization

Have we (really) listened to the user?
Have libraries been too dependent on the big
players?
Have publishers been open to experimentation and
working with libraries?

23. Cloud Computing
Replace standard desktop arrangement with
Chrome Books and centralized resources
Major trend for all types of software
Questions about security:
More reliance on vendors to provide adequate
security framework
Observation that libraries are very lax about
implementation of privacy and security
mechanisms
Low rates of implementing https on library websites
24. Open source Disruption
Major impact on library software environment
Open source not achieved dominance, but is
mainstream (Koha, Evergreen)
Rate of adoption has been constant, but not
aggressive
Open source used inside proprietary systems
Open source raises the bar for innovation,
downward pressure on costs
New disruptive possibility in FOLIO
25. Uneven access to technology
Very large gaps between municipal libraries
and those serving rural areas and small towns
Hundreds, of small public libraries in the US
with no automation or modern website
Pricing of tech products and services remains
out of reach
26. Makerspaces in Libraries
Beyond 3D printing: many types of specialized
manufacturing and prototype devices offered
in UNLV engineering
Investment in equipment, staff expertise,
ongoing maintenance and consumables
27. Open Data Licensing
Libraries as data creators
Libraries working with data creators in their
communities

A Conversation on the Future of the Library Technology Industry
https://librarytechnology.org/web/breeding/ALAExecPanel/
29. Themes
Convergence of technology, content, and
services
What are the synergies that companies expect
to achieve as they delve into both technologies
for the management and access of content
when they are also content suppliers
What kinds of synergies, bundling, or
interoperability advantages will libraries
tolerate?
