Intelligent drones, wearable technology, becoming invisible, emailing wrenches to outer space, 3D printing and design, Virtual Reality, Deep Learning, Smart Virtual Personal Assistants, “It’s like Uber for ____”, Makerspaces, self-publishing, data security, Tor Project, Blackphone, IFTTT, IoT, Open Source, and much more will be covered. So, join the Novare Library Services’ team (Diana Silveira and Chad Mairn) as they take a look back to 2014 to highlight the most successful and useful technology trends impacting librarians. They will also share some technologies that may have been missed while providing a glimpse into what to look for in the upcoming year.

5. Library Stories of 2014

6. Deep learning - brain-inspired systems capable of translating pixels into English.
Smart virtual personal assistants - semantic and natural language processing; data
mined from our calendars, email, and contact lists; and the last few minutes of our
behavior to anticipate the next 10 seconds of our thinking.
“It’s like Uber for ____” – the simple app connecting drivers to passengers is now
worth more than Halliburton Corporation, Aetna, General Mills, Delta Airlines, Kraft
Foods, and Charles Schwab.
Oversight for algorithms - Time to discuss how to include accountability systems
for algorithms.
Data privacy - people are increasingly concerned about their privacy, and they’re
pointing the finger at business, not maleficent hackers.
Block chain technology – the transaction database that’s shared by everyone
participating in bitcoin’s digital system.
An intellectually refreshing list of technology trends to watch for in 2015

Truly Mind-blowing!

11. Mobile has won and is becoming modular!
Streaming has won and vinyl still exists!
Does this matter to librarians?

12. Ownership vs. access
• Experiences are more important than
ownership, right?
• Do e-books matter?
• Net Neutrality?
• Curation?
• Librarian role?

13. Will wearable computing really take off?

15. Build your own!

17. Libraries = Community Support
• Income/technology inequality
• Support everylibrary.org
• Misinformation is king
• Curation?

Most of the Pew Reports state that
Americans value the role of libraries in
their communities, so I predict libraries will
exist well into the future. ;)

21. Data theft/spying will
get worse before it gets
any better!

25. News alert! Makerspaces aren’t just about 3D printing!

27. DIG 2109/2000 (Digital Imaging
Fundamentals) classes visited the
lab to learn about 3D printing.
They were learning Adobe
Illustrator's 3D extruded visuals
that week. More and more classes
are signing up!

29. The cool thing about
Makerspaces is that you
will have a space to
include interesting
technologies that are
NOT even invented yet.
Perpetual Beta!

30. Are social networks REALLY about connecting with people? Are we presenting anything
meaningful or is the general public becoming mindless automatons reposting the “news” over
and over again? Are we being pulled into “like behavior?” Pretty soon we’ll have thought
bubbles floating over our head and there will be no mystery to our lives.

It is nice to learn about this, but it can be stretching a bit to find a
place in libraries for most of these products.
