[Macro error: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "itemTitle" hasn't been defined.] Great Minds Think Alike..... Next Generation Library Users (PDF) "Stephen Abram, VP Corporate Development, Micromedia ProQuest - slides from his e-Libraries 2002 talk." [Library News Daily] A very interesting presentation that is quite similar to my Information Shifting one, and we make a lot of the same points. (Note to self: get the update online!) I concentrate on the impact the Net Generation will have, while Stephen takes into account all age groups. My favorite point he makes is that librarians have to "move from physical access to intellectual access." It's a complementary view of "information shifting."
