The Future of Resource Sharing: Technologies on the Horizon

July 14, 2021 @1:30-2:30pm

As technology evolves, so does the content we share among libraries. What will resource sharing look like in the near future? The session starts with a brief overview of AI/Machine Learning, Blockchain, and Virtual Reality and how they may benefit or challenge resource sharing in libraries. We will then open up the discussion to talk about what the future of resource sharing might look like and how libraries can adapt to emerging technologies.
