Marshall Breeding, author of the annual Library Systems Report published in American Libraries, will assemble and moderate a panel of CEO or other senior executives representing organizations that produce technology products or services for libraries.
Breeding will give a brief introduction and will then lead a lively discussion to probe at the technology and business trends. This year’s panel discussion will center on technologies which support the expanding role of libraries into their communities and parent institutions. The panelists will offer their perspectives on how their organizations are providing or developing technologies beyond the traditional resource management and discovery products.
Panelists will be expected to candidly reflect the perspectives of their organizations, but not promote their products.
