R-Squared – The Risk & Reward Conference

Education

Faced with diminishing budgets, new technologies and changing customer needs, the traditional library faces extinction. We must adapt and innovate to transform from a quiet storehouse of books to a dynamic center of free engagement with knowledge. R-Squared – The Risk & Reward Conference was held in Telluride, Colo., Sept. 9-11, 2012, bringing together 350 innovative library professionals from across the country (and beyond) to talk about how to take smart risks to move libraries forward.
