Webcast - "Libraries, Coffee & Surfing"


Educational Technology Services, in conjunction with Ready2Net, presents a free webcast program entitled "Libraries, Coffee & Surfing."

The library's longstanding function as the academic center of a campus has shifted. Many libraries have added digital media centers, and social and group workspaces in their portfolios of services. Librarians now define the library as an encompassing, multi-functional facility and virtual space centered on learning, the discovery of information, and collaboration. Coffee stands, cafés, and other social spaces demonstrate this shift towards accommodating the requirements of library patrons. This R2N program explores the library's changing and often challenging roles--including, benefits to its users, possibilities for its future, and threats to the library that we know today.

For more information on this event and to register, please go to <<https://ready2net.csumb.edu/>>. The event is free and may be accessed on June 14th or any time thereafter.
