                             powerful driver of
                          change in libraries, and
                          it will stay that way for
                          the rest of your career.

It’s all Technology

                     • Books were once a new technology -
                          feared and shunned
                     • The printing press was once thought to be
                          a horrible machine
                     • The home computer was thought to never
                          be a necessity

If you have an apple and I have an
                  apple and we exchange apples,
                  then you and I will still each have
                  one apple. But if you have an idea
                  and I have an idea and we
                  exchange these ideas, then each
                  of us will have two ideas.
