Darlene Hotchkiss, Teacher-Librarian at Parma School District, Tina Cherry, Digital Native Services at the Jerome Public Library and Memo Cordova, Reference Librarian at Albertson Library, Boise State University each shared their experiences and ideas for serving digital natives in their libraries.

The full group got to brainstorm new ways to think about digital natives after watching the Digital Natives Focus Groups 2007 DVD.
