expectations and the relentless shift to the digital medium are rapidly
influencing library structures and services. Libraries are evolving to create
and deliver new services, modifying their collecting patterns, and striving to
meet new user demands. This day-long symposium will focus on the
physical and digital infrastructure of libraries, conceiving and creating
services to meet user needs and expectations, transforming collections and
access, and how all of this will affect the people who work in libraries.
Symposium attendees will have the opportunity to participate in collaborative
activities during the event.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
