Greetings all! Now, we turn our attention to some of the newest and inspiring things on the horizon. The module is here.
Please spend time investigating all the links in “Things to Explore.” Note the Horizon Report and Horizon Report for Academic Libraries. Other links will demonstrate some new and exciting models of library service. There has not been a library edition report since 2017, but I’m leaving them in the module for your reference.
Action Items:
- Be thinking about the next big assignment: Inspiration Report.
- Please @michael me in your replies to me across this site and on your blogs to make sure I see them! 🙂
- Be sure to check your blog for pending comments. Dashboard –> Comments. You may see some that need approval.
- Please email me directly at mstephens7@mac.com. Do not use Canvas.
