I’m looking forward to hearing from panelists at ALA’s Top Tech Trends this year! (June 24, 11 am CDT) Since I wasn’t able to attend ALA in New Orleans, I’ll be following the Twitter hashtag: #ALATTT.
I’m especially interested to hear about “Library Databases in the Age of Alexa and Siri.” I’ve been thinking about voice computing for library services since I just finished writing a book called “Siri, Alexa, and Other Digital Assistants: The Librarian’s Quick Guide.” (To be published later this year by Libraries Unlimited).
Here’s a list of the trends to be discussed:
- Quantum Computing
- Digital Gaslighting
- Blockchain Technology
- Psychometrics
- Digital Libraries interfacing with public via wi-fi on public transit
- Digital libraries embedded in public housing
- Death of Transparency
- Fragmentation and Fluidity
- Library Databases in the Age of Alexa and Siri
- Next Generation Learning Management Systems
And here’s a list of the panelists:
- Marshall Breeding (Moderator) @mbreeding
- Jason Bengtson
- Laura Cole @lauracole61
- Justin De La Cruz @justindlc
- Marydee Ojala @marydeeo
- Reina Williams
Looking forward to hearing more about all of the trends. Add your comments to this post (or on Twitter @nic221) if you want to discuss any of these trends (especially voice-computing)!
