In this quick-fire session we’ll share highlights from OCLC’s research on today’s increasingly empowered information consumer, and we’ll present ideas from technology thought leaders. We’ll explore our own experiences and interpretations of OCLC’s data and compare notes about what this means for library technology, services, and outreach in Ohio. Together we’ll consider: what’s tomorrow’s information consumer thinking about, today? How do library patrons interact when information lives at Webscale, served up by GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon)? How do libraries take their rightful place at Webscale? How then can libraries pursue meaningful innovation?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Date: Friday, 24 February 2012<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Time: 9:00 am – 12:00 noon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Location: <a href="http://www.cuyahoga.lib.oh.us/IndependenceBranch.aspx">Cuyahoga County Public Library, 6361 Selig Drive, Independence, OH 44131</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Cost: Free to attend but space is limited – be sure to RSVP!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Coffee and refreshments will be provided<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>RSVP (required): Please RSVP and direct questions to Daphne Kouretas, OCLC Member Services Consultant at <a href="mailto:daphne_kouretas@oclc.org">daphne_kouretas@oclc.org</a> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>DIRECTIONS<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>--------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>For directions, please visit the Cuyahoga County Public Library website: </span><a href="http://www.cuyahoga.lib.oh.us/IndependenceBranch.aspx">http://www.cuyahoga.lib.oh.us/IndependenceBranch.aspx</a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Or use <a href="http://www.google.com/maps?daddr=6361+Selig+drive,+independence,+Oh&hl=en&ll=41.377437,-81.649425&spn=0.010385,0.022724&dirflg=r&ttype=arr&date=2%2F24%2F12&time=9:00am&t=m&z=16&start=0&geocode=FXZddwId9CAi-ylJ9puaf-YwiDFbeN__8vZLmg">Google Transit</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
