Webcast sponsored by the Iving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by UBC iSchool. Dr. Parker will be discussing the future of libraries, and how academic libraries are responding to changes in technology and how scholarly information is disseminated in her talk "Beyond Borges: Telling Tales of Future Libraries." In the post-print information era, how do libraries manage scholarly information? Academic libraries have developed alongside technology, but technology is now changing the structures of information creation, dissemination, retrieval, and preservation. The use of technology in and by libraries, and by the scholars whom they serve, has raised new questions for librarians about their work and its place within the academy. This presentation explores how forces and critical issues that are now shaping academic libraries are deepening their engagement with scholars and helping to build platforms and relationships that expand the pathways of creation, discovery, learning, and dialogue.
