Balancing at the Digital Tipping Point

Presented 11/14/12 at the Verona Public Library with Stef Morrill and Sara Gold of WiLS presenting.

Digital content and devices have seen unprecedented growth over the past year. The WPLC Digital Collection has experienced a 69% increase in circulation over the past 6 months alone. Libraries will see changes to their physical spaces and services as they integrated digital content into their collections. Join Stef Morrill and Sara Gold as they examine physical library, mobile and content trends as well as impacts and responses to each.
