Emerging Tech Trends in Libraries - Part 8

Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM

With so much new technology coming at us so fast, it can be difficult to keep up. As part of the Emerging Tech Trends series, presenter Laura Solomon continues the exploration into emerging technology trends, and how these trends might (or might not) re-shape library services.

• Realities (the state of virtual reality, the rise of augmented reality, mixed reality)
• AI-powered chatbots, the subscription economy and voice-powered interactions (real-world applications that are not Alexa)
