This document summarizes new hardware and software trends relevant for public libraries. It discusses how lifestyle trends have led to a demand for portable, smaller devices with user-generated content. This has driven hardware to use flash memory, allowing for smaller portable devices. It also discusses how software is increasingly web-based. Web-based software like Google Docs provide document editing and storage online without downloads. Libraries should promote access to new technologies to add value to their services by providing access to information, software and entertainment anytime from any device.
