The explosion of ways in which we are digitally connected impacts every
part of our lives. Whether we’re researching, building social
connections or sharing our own media, the digital realm has extended its
influence into nearly every aspect of what we do. What does this do to
the boundaries of your library's collection? What does it mean to curate
a collection that is becoming, for all intents and purposes, infinite?
Join digital experts from the library community for a discussion on
successful strategies for dealing with both the volume of resources out
there—and the changing nature of content consumption in a world that's
increasingly digital.
