Digital Native or Digitally Naive: Library & Information Services for the Next Generation

Cambridge Centre, Villiers Park, Foxton, Cambridge, CB22 6SE Wednesday 6th May 2009, 9.30a.m.- 4.30p.m.

What is the role of libraries when people already have access to everything?

Digital natives call, send text messages and pictures, play games and download music all at the same time – they think email, books and paper are outmoded – where does that leave us, as professionals, struggling to provide information services to this generation?
What happens next….? Can the new generation of digital native information professionals show us the future?

This seminar will challenge your perceptions of what libraries services are and how they are changing. Share the vision of the future with leading information studies lecturers and their students, with new professionals and current leaders in the library world.

Cost for the day including lunch is 85 + VAT (£12.75)
