Greetings all! For this module we will focus on planning for emerging technologies, participatory services of all kinds and the future. This is where we start to get very practical and focused on what’s happening with trends and technology in libraries and information centers. This is also the time to start thinking about the technologies, trends or participatory services you’d like to focus on for your remaining assignments.

@michael I just wanted to give you heads up that the due dates listed are incorrect for this class
@inabookbind Thank you! I thought I had updated that one and didn’t. Dates are there now. Forgive my hazy post travel brain.
Hello! I just posted my Hyperlinked Environment reflection post and I was wondering if you needed us to submit each link into Canvas or if you are following them throughout the semester? Thank you!
@crlhayd I am following them…but TBH I didn’t read as many blogs as I thought I would in Scotland! I will be doing that this week.
@michael This module was really helpful! I do work with some employees who have several years and even several decades under their belt that are great co-workers, but are a little bitter and/or jaded by having worked for a county library system for so long that they have a lot of negativity around new ideas. I get it, they are often overwhelmed by their daily tasks and some are stuck in their way. But this unit provided some avenues for reaching those co-workers. Great module!
@celimiranda Thanks for that feedback! I appreciate it.
