How do libraries serve network people? How are library organization, services and technologies co-evolving with the behaviours of their users? This blog looks at library logistics, collaborative sourcing, the collective collection, and evolving metadata and bibliographic practices. It is also interested in how libraries support changing research and learning needs, and on how the curatorial traditions of archives, libraries and museums come together in the digital environment. These issues touch on broader Web 2.0 questions, and on organizational responses.
This blog is hosted by the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA).
The LITA blog features original content by LITA members on technologies and trends relevant to librarians. Our writers represent a variety of perspectives, from library students to public, academic, and special librarians.
The blog also delivers announcements about LITA programming, conferences, and other events, and serves as a place for LITA committees to share information back with the community if they so choose.
