2010 Emerging Technologies Summit @ MSU Libraries
The Mississippi State University Libraries Emerging Technology Summit continues the work of the MS Library 2.0 Summit, started in 2007 here at Mississippi State University, by focusing on the effects of emerging technologies in a post-2.0 world. Now that academic libraries have adopted social networking, mobile technologies, and social research tools, where do we go from here? What sort of assessment of these programs is available or appropriate? How have these emerging technologies been incorporated into academia, and what are the ramifications of their adoption?
This conference explored these issues with nationally-known emerging technologies expert Jason Griffey as our guide in the keynote session, followed by breakout Steal-this-Idea sessions led by regional experts who spoke to this post-implementation environment.
Here, Summit planning committee members Rachel Cannady and Lyle Tate work the registration table and welcome attendees.
