Academic Librarians 2010:
Faster Than the Speed of Bytes: Technology, Cognition, and the Academic Librarian

June 7/8, 2010, Holiday Inn, Downtown Ithaca

Register here!

Are we organically shaped by technology? If so, how can academic librarians respond? How do cognitive changes influence the ways we lead our libraries and teach our users? This conference will explore changes in cognitive development, based on new models of interacting with information and how these new models will impact collections and services. Participants will examine what this means for academic librarians and the way they interact with users. This event is brought to you by the NY 3Rs Association and the Academic and Special Libraries Section of the New York Library Association.
