Changing
user expectations and the relentless shift to the digital medium are rapidly
influencing library structures and services. Libraries are evolving to create
and deliver new services, modifying their collecting patterns, and striving to
meet new user demands. This day-long symposium will focus on the physical and
digital infrastructure of libraries, conceiving and creating services to meet
user needs and expectations, transforming collections and access, and how all
of this will affect the people who work in libraries. Symposium attendees will
have the opportunity to participate in collaborative activities during the
event.
