Of course, when I got home, the only things I could find were posts relating to futures. Future technologies, future concepts, the works.

I started thinking about differential fees to provide better access. Should we think hard about the Netflix model for delivery? Would this be responsive to the needs of our public in a way that we are obviously missing now? (Thanks, Samantha, for your posting which prompted this thought to pop out!)

I also wondered about comments that I heard around the room. Is the technology really not earth-shaking? Many of the things we saw were imaginable and seemed to be within reach. This is unlike the late 1980s when the Internet became a household world.

Social librarianship is something I thought we might talk about, and here are a couple of links that I wanted to share with you if you didn't see them elsewhere:

also check out the Kansas State librarian's blog from this site.

These might be examples of how we can be community and virtual. I haven't found the lib-bot yet.
