New cultural and technological trends talk by Stephen Abrams

The Furtive Librarian blog has a great summary post of a recent talk at the New York City chapter of the Special Libraries Association by Stephen Abram about future trends and how libraries need to change to match these trends. Mr. Abrams stressed the importance of librarians promoting what we do and communicating our value to the public. He talked about how we can use personal stories to highlight how librarians can help people.

By the way, Stephen Abram is one of the keynote speakers for the Florida chapter of the Special Libraries Association Conference in St. Petersburg (February 27-29, 2008).
