The document discusses emerging technology trends in libraries for 2017, including the Internet of Things, conversational systems, big data, mobility, augmented and virtual reality, grassroots technologies like makerspaces, wearable computing, payment systems, drones, and cloud computing. For each trend, the document poses the question "What does this mean for libraries?" and provides examples of how libraries could potentially apply and be impacted by these new technologies.
