ALCTS MidWinter Symposium

Friday, January 7, 2011 in San Diego, CA, just prior to ALA Midwinter

 

Beams & Bytes: Constructing the Future Library -- Architectural and 
Digital Considerations

 

Changing user expectations and the relentless shift to the digital 
medium are rapidly influencing library structures and services. No 
longer just a reference and  circulation desk or a static  repository 
for books and journals, the 21st Century library is evolving to  
accommodate new services, collecting patterns, and user demands. Both 
presentations and participative activities will focus on the physical 
and digital infrastructure of libraries,  conceiving and creating  
services to meet user needs and expectations, transforming collections 
and  access, and how all of this will affect the people who work in 
libraries.

 

Speakers are:

John Blyberg, Assistant Director for Innovation and User Services, 
Darien Public Library, Darien, CT

Michael Giarlo, Digital Library Architect, Penn State University, 
University Park, PA

Jeffrey M. Hoover, Architect, Tappe Associates, Inc., Boston, MA

Patricia Hswe, Digital Collections Curator, Penn State University 
Libraries, University Park, PA

Robert Kieft, College Librarian, Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA

Michael Miller, Dean of Library Services, California Polytechnic State 
University, San Luis Obispo, CA

Lizabeth (Betsy) Wilson, Dean of University Libraries, University of 
Washington, Seattle, WA

Denelle C. Wrightson, Director of Library Architecture, Dewberry, Dallas, TX
