Thanks to all of you who replies to my message about the future of ILS
and
cataloging. I found all of your resources very helpful. My director of
technology systems has just informed me that he would like me to take on
the
role of emerging technologies librarian instead of my traditional role
as
cataloger. I would be interested in this role, but I want to make sure
the
transition is a smooth one. Can anyone offer any advice about emerging
technologies? I am interested in what types of professional
associations
would be most helpful, as well as which journals, magazines, and
discussion
lists are relevant to this field of librarianship.

You may also be interested in a tool I made that I find handy, The Latest Library News, which works pretty simply, using a variety of technologies.
